About This Home

Historic charm and modern conveniences collide at this beautiful countryside farmhouse! Situated on 3.28 acres with extensive views looking over the Uncompahgre, the Grand Mesa, and even the West Elks, this home feels welcoming and relaxed from the moment you enter. Tall, mature trees create a private setting for the home, and a secret-garden-vibe yard includes a small orchard, a dedicated garden area, a chicken coop, and many shrubs, flowers, and foliage. Sit out on the front porch or beneath the pergola and watch the days go by, season after season. There is ample space on the property that could be utilized as a small hay field, or to build a big shop! The land overlooks the entire valley and surrounding mountains- the views are gorgeous! Indoors this 1909 masterpiece has been lovingly updated over the years. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level as well as a full bath with a tiled shower. The quaint kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and granite tile countertops, and flows directly into the formal dining room. The main living area is spacious and anchored by an original old-timey fireplace hearth. Large windows in every direction bring light flooding through the space. The enclosed front porch is currently utilized as a perfect in-home gym. Upstairs are 3 additional rooms and another full bath. The home is heated via a gas fired furnace and cooled via a window mounted swamp cooler. There is also a dedicated laundry/mud room. A detached garage/shop is attached to a large quonset hut, and there is also a detached workshop. The workshop is finished, insulated and heated, and could be a perfect home-based business opportunity. Located in Austin and just 10 minutes to Delta or 12 to Cedaredge, this property is perfectly situated. Come enjoy the good life with no covenants or HOA, and all the room to roam and simply "be".
