Wind up to the top of the neighborhood, where the road ends at your gated property and the quiet takes over. 9.48 acres of rock outcropping and open ground sit above the valley with 360-degree views. Enjoy endless sunsets, rainbows stretching across the mesa after a summer storm, and deer moving through at dawn. Usable land, room for equipment and toys, and the kind of privacy that rarely comes available on this side of the river. The 2,556 sq ft home lives across three levels. Main level features adjoining living and dining rooms, each with its own bay window framing the range. The kitchen offers stainless appliances including a new dishwasher, a large Kraus farmhouse sink, and French doors opening to the deck. Full bath and attached 2-car garage complete the level. The entire upper level is a private primary suite with full bath and separate office built out with custom cabinetry and a U-shaped work surface. Lower level holds two additional bedrooms, third full bath, and a finished laundry room with new Samsung washer/ dryer, built-in cabinetry and utility sink. Sliding glass door off the lower hallway captures the view. Outbuildings are a standout: three storage sheds, two fully finished with electrical, work counters, cabinetry and shelving, connected by a covered concrete breezeway. Full RV hookups. Pergola sited to take in the range. A separately gated lot on Harmony Way on the lower portion of the property offers its own entrance for equipment storage, a contractor yard, or additional parking, entirely separate from the residential drive. Water and utilities are dialed in for mountain living: community water service, owned underground propane, owned underground water storage tank, plus a purpose-built addition housing two 1,500-gallon cisterns -- giving the rare option to haul and store in addition to the community supply. Easy I-70 access, minutes to Rifle, under 30 to Glenwood Springs.
Welcome to the top of the world! Wind to the end of the driveway, settle into the amazing surroundings and sip sweet tea under the pergola perched atop the mountain. All the work has been done - fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, new wood flooring and modern farmhouse updates. The upper level is a complete master suite with office. Host summer gatherings on the deck and welcome guests with the full RV connection. Use the outbuildings for storage, work or hobbies! Each outbuilding has cabinets/shelving, electrical and connects with a covered concrete breezeway. Use the acreage located just off the hill with a private entrance for additional storage, parking, construction yard, or more! Domestic water supply provided courtesy of community water supply. So much to like, so easy to love!
