THIS IS THE ONE! It's your 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, wood-sided, off-the-grid, mountain-cabin retreat! At almost 9,000 ft, this home sits atop the Wild Horse Mesa. It's on level ground and is accessible all year around. You can relax outside on your expansive, covered porch and watch as the Wild Horses literally walk right down the road! Elk and mule deer roam the property too. Step into the backyard and sharpen your skills at the shooting range. It's already been set up with a secure railroad tie backer. In the warmer months, you'll enjoy opening the many windows and letting the bird songs drift through along with the cooler mountain breezes, or maybe you'd rather step outside with a glass of lemonade and watch them from the porch, even in the rain. A washer/dryer are included in the utility room so you don't have to run into town for laundry, but you'll probably want to explore the many historically rich towns in the general area. You don't have to go that far to go exploring though, with 35 acres, you'll find plenty of area to roam! Enjoy the lasting strength of a metal roof and there's new batteries in the solar energy system. This house utilizes a cistern for its water supply. The leased propane tank feeds the 3 built in propane heaters, the stove, refrigerator & the dryer. You may also want to hook-up a generator for inclement weather times to keep your brand new batteries running in top shape. The gated, gravel driveway circles all the way around the house. Take note of the mountain views, including the Sangre de Cristos, the San Juans, Mount Blanca and Ute Mountain. Just over an hour away, to the South is Taos, NM and to the Northwest is Alamosa, CO. Also, not too far away, the Great Sand Dunes NP and several Wildlife areas. There's lots to discover in the Southern San Luis Valley with this as your perfect home base to start and end a perfect Colorado day.
