YOUR MOUNTAIN RETREAT! This is an off the grid, mountain contemporary home sitting atop the Wild Horse Mesa. Panoramic views, cooler summers and wild horses make this open concept home the perfect place to escape the city or put to down your own roots in your forever home. Nearly $40k in improvements (not including labor) have been added to this home and property within the past year! (See complete list in photos.) With 40 acres, you have plenty of room to spread out!

This home has a massive 2-sided covered porch that is 7.5’ deep and 31’ (east side) and 41’ (north side) long! It’s the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise come up over the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Five of Colorado's 14k foot mountain peaks can be seen from here! A multi-circular drive insures plenty of pull off parking and no traffic jams for when you decide you want to have an abundance of guests over to fire up the grill and watch the sunsets over the San Juan mountains.
The wood burner in the living room can keep you nice and cozy on those mountain snowfall nights; but if you make weekend get-away plans, the propane heater in the dining room and another in the bedroom will be all the heat you need.

The bunk house sits to the west of the house. Behind the main house sits what was a large dog, fostering enclosure. The sellers planned to make that a quite large greenhouse!

Water is hauled from the community center and placed in the new, large bladder located in the deep crawl space under the house. The battery/inverter shed is located next to that, there are solar panels are on the south side of the metal roof, a new standing set of panels have been installed recently. The wind generator helps to make up for those cloudy days or longer nights.

The furniture stays if the buyer would like it. A starlink internet system can be transferred to the new owner.

No HOAs to worry about and good cellular reception truly makes this your perfect mountain home.
