This mountain home has everything needed to escape to the country - two bedrooms each with private bathrooms, an open living area consisting of a light and bright kitchen, dining and living room with several large south facing windows that have a passive solar effect. There is a basement with a laundry room and two car garage with stairs up to the living area so there's no need to carry groceries outside in cold, snowy weather. The home is partially furnished, but those furnishing will be removed if the Buyer chooses. Oh, there is also a comfortable gazebo on the hill behind the house - enter the finished gazebo through double french door to shinny wood floors, electric baseboard heat, lights and several windows to enjoy the wonderful views. A wraparound deck offers ample room to sit and enjoy the birds and other wildlife that visit the property. The property is located in the Western Union Ranch, aka the Ranch of the Rockies (the Ranch), a nice friendly community about two hours southwest of Denver, 1.5 hours west of Colorado Springs and approximately an hour to 1.5 hours to either Monarch or Breckenridge Ski Resort. For rafting on the Arkansas River, dining and shopping, Buena Vista is about 30 minutes down the road.
