About This Home
Situated on the stunning valley floor of the dark sky community of Westcliffe, this rustic yet beautiful 4-bedroom cabin offers breathtaking scenery in every direction. The majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains command attention to the south, while additional mountain views surround the property, including views of three 14ers. Located just 1 mile from public land and only 10 minutes from a Hermit Pass trailhead, this property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Designed for both comfort and self-sufficiency, this home operates independently from conventional power sources, allowing you to stay powered even during outages. A recently completed $25,000 solar upgrade pairs perfectly with a powerful Generac generator with fewer than 200 hours that automatically activates when needed. Inside, the home is filled with rustic charm featuring wood floors, beautiful Amish oak trim, barn doors, and a recently renovated kitchen. The antique wood stove serves as the heart of the home, providing warmth and efficiency throughout the cabin. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, while two additional rooms upstairs are accessed by a charming spiral staircase. The property includes 40 fully fenced acres, with two sides featuring electric fencing, along with a storage shed, large shipping container, and an incredible detached garage/shop. The 40x40 metal shop features 14-foot ceilings, three roll-up doors, a concrete floor, and a covered patio, making it ideal for hobbies, storage, equipment, or business use. This is your opportunity to own a private mountain retreat with stunning views, modern off-grid capability, and endless Colorado adventure right outside your door.
