The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, highlighted by a dramatic 30-foot floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, stunning inlaid custom tile work, and intricate custom log carvings by renowned artisan Chad Haspels. Every bedroom is serenaded by the soothing sounds of the Navajo River, creating a truly peaceful retreat.

A separate guest suite above the oversized attached 3-car garage offers additional privacy with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bath—perfect for guests, caretakers, or extended family. The seller has recently invested approximately $2.5 million into a complete remodel and enhancement of the estate, including a spacious new dining room, extensive exterior landscaping and water features, a stunning outdoor kitchen, hot tub area designed to embrace the surrounding natural beauty, and a new chip/seal product applied on the driveway around the home and down to the barn. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the beautifully crafted 6-stall Amish-built barn completed in 2022, while anglers will be captivated by approximately one-half mile of restored Navajo River frontage featuring professionally engineered river restoration with end-to-end trout pools reaching depths of up to 8 feet. Offered fully furnished, this exceptional property also includes significant senior water rights that will convey at closing, making this an extraordinary opportunity to own a rare and irreplaceable Colorado mountain retreat.
