Property Description
Horse property on 41 acres in western Colorado. Off-grid yet bank-financeable. Enjoy pure water from your own well, superb views of the San Juans and Cimarrons, two ponds, a seasonal creek. There are Ponderosas and Pinons galore, and abundant wildlife of every kind. If you’re seeking privacy, independence, self-sufficiency, and immersion in the pristine nature of the Rockies - all just 30 minutes away from the convenience of Montrose - this may be the place for you. The sturdy site-built main home has forced air heating and two master suites with 2large walk-in closets. Property also features multiple outbuildings including a 30’x50’ garage/shop with concrete floor, an art studio/ guest house, a Roost ‘n’ Root greenhouse, a wellhouse, and multiple storage areas for firewood. The central five acres around the main house is fenced and cross-fenced for safety and separation of your animals and includes three well-insulated shelters for larger and smaller livestock. The property is currently operated as an animal rescue sanctuary. The property’s agricultural/grazing zone designation provides a nice break on your property tax. Power comes from two solar arrays; one was added in 2021 along with a new Midnight charge controller. The original well pump was replaced at the same time and includes run-dry protection and a high-capacity iron filter. An Ashley woodstove in the dining/living area, along with a propane stove and forced-air furnace, keep you cozy in the winter. Internet works great; the property has a straight-shot view of the Water Dog cellular facility across the valley. New hickory hardwood floors were added in 2019. A wraparound deck encircles 75% of the ground floor; a second deck sits outside the upstairs master bedroom for breakfast-with-a-view. The sunrises, sunsets, moon and stars are nothing short of astonishing. You can look long and hard and never find a property that checks as many boxes as this one. Come give it a look and fall in love! Any sale and closing of this subject property is contingent upon the Seller locating and closing on a replacement property.
