Imagine coming home every day to this 5 acre property at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with expansive views of the Collegiate Peaks, Sangre de Cristos, Browns Canyon, and Arkansas River Valley. The beautifully crafted home greets you with huge front and back covered patios with rustic metal trim and recessed lighting, wired for sound to transport you out of the year 2020 and into a state of peaceful serenity. Enter to find a beautiful rock fireplace with an Extraordinaire wood burning insert that circulates hot air into the living area. New Acacia hardwood floors throughout the home complement the vaulted beetle-kill ceilings and custom alder doors and cabinets. Striking granite counters draw you into the large kitchen, where you will find a 5-burner electric cooktop, convection oven, stainless steel appliances, custom bar lights by Salida artist Bryce Turnbull, subway tile backsplash and walk-in pantry. The master suite has a stunning picture window facing the Collegiate Peaks, a doorway out onto the patio, and a thoughtfully laid out master bath with separate vanities and gorgeously tiled walk-in shower. A huge mud room with half bath and laundry leads to the heated 2 car garage.

Outside, the Sellers have created the perfect rural retreat. Picturesque private sitting areas are designed to take in each of the 360 degree views, with shady spots for summer reading and sunny ones for basking in the southern Colorado sun. A custom stone patio is the crowning touch in a fenced backyard that features stone walkways, xeriscaped garden areas with sprinkler irrigation, raised beds and a stylish greenhouse. The property is on an augmented well allowing outside watering. A new (2019) detached garage pairs an oversize RV bay with a 2 car heated, insulated garage and workshop space; sliding glass doors lead to a stamped concrete patio and additional seating areas to enjoy yet more of the endless views. Get ready to make yourself at home, because you'll never want to leave!
