About This Home
Your Slice of Southwestern Splendor... Imagine waking up every morning to a front-row seat at nature's own theater – that's the magic of what we've dubbed "The Canyon House," perched proudly along the rim of one of Southwestern Colorado's most breathtaking canyons. With panoramic views of unique sandstone formations, countless trees, and a parade of curious wildlife (think deer peeking in like nosy neighbors), this isn't just a home; it's a lifelong subscription to natural entertainment. You won't want to miss the opportunity to call this gem yours – trust me, properties like this don't stick around long or come up often! I happen to know, since these Sellers have enjoyed this property for decades! Step inside this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom haven, complete with two living rooms and two dining areas for all your gathering needs. It's a place full of personality, where defined spaces flow effortlessly, exposed wooden beams add a rustic flair, and artistic woodwork whispers stories of craftsmanship. Natural light floods every corner, turning ordinary days into sun-drenched adventures – perfect for that morning coffee or evening unwind. This beauty isn't just pretty; it's practical too. We've got you covered with a slew of high-value upgrades: - A fresh roof and energy-efficient windows to keep things cozy and cost-effective. Don't forget the benefit of those low insurance premiums! - Sleek and timeless solid surface countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen for effortless meal prep. - Not one, but two hot water heaters, including a tankless model for endless showers and hot water baseboard heating. - Remodeled bathrooms featuring a luxurious "Safe-Step" bathtub unit – because who doesn't love a spa-like soak without the slip? - Warmth and ambience on demand with a vintage-style free-standing gas heater and a gas fireplace insert for those crisp Colorado evenings. - Fresh exterior paint, plus a new weed barrier and landscaping rock for curb appeal that wows. The fun doesn't stop indoors – the massive lot boasts a convenient large circle drive for easy access, and plenty of room out back to park your trailers, boats, or RVs. Whether you're an adventurer with gear to store or just love wide-open spaces, this setup is a dream come true. This property has been meticulously maintained by an owner that will soon be enjoying retirement from a career of property inspections, transferring this property to its new owners with the benefit of peace of mind. If this sounds like your next chapter, let's chat more about making "The Canyon House" your reality.
