About this House

Experience an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind ranchette in the heart of Southwest Colorado. Encompassing over 54 acres across three separate legal parcels, this remarkable property offers exceptional versatility—ideal for a private family compound, legacy estate, or serene mountain retreat. Conveniently located just minutes from County Road 250, the residence is gracefully perched on a hillside, capturing unobstructed, panoramic views of the Animas Valley, Engineer Mountain, and the Needle Mountains. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted, this mountain sanctuary is rich with natural beauty. Tranquil ponds, gentle water features, and secluded gathering spaces are woven throughout the landscape—perfect for morning coffee, quiet reflection, or evening entertaining. Every vantage point offers a picture-perfect backdrop, while the home itself is designed to fully embrace Colorado’s abundant sunshine, with dramatic floor-to-ceiling, south-facing windows that bathe the interiors in natural light. Spanning 4,887 square feet, the residence offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a spacious office—providing both comfort and flexibility for full-time living or hosting guests. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a standout, appointed with granite countertops, a large center island, a six-burner JennAir range with custom hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, double pantries, and premium appliances throughout. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, where expansive windows and direct access to the outdoor deck create an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding beauty. A light-filled “green room” offers a unique and inspiring space for gardening, relaxation, or bringing the outdoors in year-round. The main level also features a spacious primary suite, a well-appointed mudroom and laundry area, and access to an oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, a second primary suite with a private bath provides additional comfort and privacy, complemented by three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile den perfect for a home office, fitness space, or media room. Throughout the home, large windows frame the ever-changing landscape, creating a seamless connection to nature in every room. Designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind, the property includes both an attached two-car garage and a detached garage, offering ample storage for recreational equipment, vehicles, or ranch needs. A short walk or drive leads to the lush valley below, where a peaceful pond and nearby stream create an idyllic setting. The pastureland is well-suited for horses, while elk and other wildlife frequently pass through, enhancing the sense of privacy and connection to the land. Each season brings its own breathtaking transformation—from snow-capped peaks in winter to golden aspens in fall, and vibrant wildflowers in the warmer months. With direct access to the National Forest via Missionary Ridge Road, adventure is quite literally at your doorstep, with routes leading to Henderson Lake and the renowned Weminuche Wilderness. This is a rare and irreplaceable offering—where refined living meets untamed Colorado beauty. A property of this caliber is seldom available.
