162 Original Rd, Basalt, CO, 81621
About This Home
An exceptional opportunity to own approximately one acre of flat, usable land just minutes from downtown Basalt, this private mountain retreat captures sweeping views and spectacular west-facing sunsets. Surrounded by mature landscaping and perennial gardens, the property offers exceptional privacy, tranquility, and timeless Colorado charm. Lovingly maintained by the original owners since 1996, this mountain lodge-inspired residence blends authentic Colorado character with meaningful updates. Recent improvements include remodeled bathrooms, fresh interior paint and carpet, a striking updated stone fireplace, and a beautifully renovated walkout lower level with a kitchenette and private guest suite. The exterior and expansive decks have also been recently stained, reflecting the care invested in the property over the years. Designed for flexibility and comfort, the home offers generous space for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. With no HOA, owners enjoy the freedom to remodel, expand, or further enhance the property. Neighboring properties have successfully completed lot splits, creating future potential for additional dwellings or a garage with ADU, subject to Town approval. Located on the Basalt Connect route, owners enjoy free on-demand transportation to downtown Basalt, Willits, and beyond. Properties offering this combination of land, privacy, views, and future potential in Basalt are increasingly limited.
