Experience this one-of-a-kind legacy property which exemplifies Colorado living at its finest—then blow a kiss to the highest peaks of the La Plata Mountains from your own private alpine sanctuary. Regarded as the premier lot in the highly desired Destination Ranch subdivision, the forty-acre property features parklike trails that lead from the home to two separate meadows-creating a year-round wonderland ideal for horses, ATVs, and snowmobiles, or simply exploring nature. Incredible wildlife and wildflowers abound. A rock fountain and pond greet you as you approach the front entry, inviting you to pause and take in the moment. Inside, you are immediately struck with a dramatic landscape through a wall of windows-every angle takes advantage of the views, making you feel as if the mountains belong to you. Wood beams adorn the tall ceiling. Beautiful archways and a stone-surrounded fireplace create ambiance. From the dining area, step out to an “island in the sky”-a deck overlooking majestic mountains and a valley below. The infinity view with thousands of feet of elevation change and of numerous peaks in the San Juan Mountains is a view only possible from this home, and it is one that truly makes your jaw drop. A main-floor primary suite features another wall of windows, a private balcony, and a gas fireplace for cozy winter nights. The stunning ensuite bath features a wall of solid sandstone and a rain shower. On the lower level, the surround sound in your state-of-the-art home theatre gives you a concert experience right in your own home. A game room with a wet bar located down the hall will keep guests entertained, and there are two additional bedrooms, as well as a study offering an incredible view. Walk outside and you’ll find a gas fireplace and patio to enjoy the evening scenery. Live like you are on vacation every day, but have the convenience of central water, the privacy of a gated subdivision, and year-round access. The home has a circular driveway for easy access of larger vehicles and a three-bay garage with room for equipment storage. Maintained by its original owners as a lightly used vacation home, this property also functions beautifully as a primary residence. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, deck, and boiler. Sold fully furnished with a tractor, riding mower, and snowblower. Move In Ready! With perfect privacy and exclusivity, this is your opportunity to own a piece of paradise on a true Colorado Gentleman’s Ranch. Come and experience the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of.
