Watch the sun and moon rise, drift across the sky, and set through expansive picture windows that frame the surrounding wilderness. On new moon nights, step onto the deck and take in a dazzling canopy of stars and the night sky here is unspoiled and breathtaking. Nestled in the mountains, this peaceful retreat invites you to reconnect with nature in comfort and style. A brand-new roof adds to the home's value and long-term durability, making it ready for you to move in with confidence. Inside, warm passive solar design and three wood-burning stoves create a cozy atmosphere year-round. Tongue-and-groove aspen ceilings and walls pair beautifully with wide-plank oak floors, adding rustic charm and timeless appeal. This beautifully remodeled home features two spacious living areas with panoramic views and natural light. The central kitchen and dining space offer tile flooring, updated appliances, and easy flow for entertaining. Downstairs are two bedrooms, while the upstairs is home to a serene primary suite-all with comfortable carpet underfoot. Just steps from the main house, you'll find a two-car detached garage and an additional outbuilding once used as an office which is ideal for remote work or creative space. A ramp at the rear entrance leads into wheelchair-accessible living areas, a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen area, ensuring ease of access for all. Bordered by BLM land to the east and surrounded by pine forest, striking rock formations, and endless views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this location is truly a hidden gem. Quiet and secluded with virtually no through-traffic, it's a rare mountain sanctuary. Located between Canon City and Salida, just north of Cotopaxi, the property also offers easy, year-round access. A life of peace, privacy, and mountain beauty awaits-this is Colorado living at its most authentic.
