This extraordinary home with its exquisite landscape provides a unique atmosphere of beauty, privacy, and tranquility. Perfectly perched on Pitkin Mesa this special home is sheltered by a lovely assortment of mature ornamental trees and shrubs. While the property feels like a secluded oasis, heading out from our semi-private gated driveway, it’s a quick two mile drive into the sweet little town of Paonia. This three level house was creatively and consciously renovated with an eye toward beauty, harmony and non-toxic living. One enters the main ground level from the spacious roofed veranda with classically stunning mountain views. On the main level there is a large living room with custom cherrywood cabinets, one large master bedroom suite, a medium sized bedroom, two bathrooms (one is equipped with a steam shower), a sitting room with a gas-fueled fireplace, the kitchen with its custom inlaid tulip-motive Marmoleum floors, the dining area with an ideal picture window view of the largest of three waterfall features, and the rear patio. The lower ground level is a self-contained studio apartment perfect for vacation rental or for your visitors. The top floor is a very elegant master bedroom suite with delightful ever-changing colorful views (out of multiple large picture windows) of the valley below and the high mountains beyond. It has a half bathroom and staircase access to the spectacularly unique rooftop deck. There is ample parking with two driveways one which leads to the front door and one to the garage and adjacent “Carriage House”. This space is currently set up as a bedroom, and has also been used as an art studio/yoga studio. Around the corner is an outdoor art studio facing a productive cutting flower garden. The entire landscape is fully and automatically irrigated with 71 shares of Fire Mountain Canal irrigation water. There is a capture pond, and additionally, there is a 1500 gallon cistern. There is a large garden/pasture area and in the middle of that field sits the 33’ Geodesic Grow Dome greenhouse, an ideal environment for growing some of your own food year round. In the interest of energy efficiency, on the roof there are thermal panels that assist the heating domestic hot water and there are 6.1 KW of photovoltaic panels that feed electricity into the grid. Balanced out over the year, the system is estimated to provide all the electricity needed. Don’t miss this jewel of an ideally situated North Fork Valley home.

The land itself sweeps up through the woods to the beautiful Fire Mountain canal. The landscaping, gardens and small pasture are watered by full irrigation/sprinkler system throughout the entire property along with a number of waterfalls around the house. To stretch the irrigation season there is a 1500 gallon cistern to provide water after the canal has shut off. The pasture below the house contains a 33’ Geodesic Grow Dome (from Growing Spaces in Pagosa Springs, CO) including a 14 x 20 deck over the 11 foot in diameter water tank, which keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Grow Dome also has it’s own indoor irrigation system on timers making extended travel any time of year an option for the owners. Finally, there’s the art barn/yoga studio/with hardwood floors for dancing, a free standing wood stove with a flat top for tea. The other half of the barn is a garage/shop area.
