YOUR MOUNTAIN RETREAT! This is an off the grid, mountain contemporary home sitting atop the Wild Horse Mesa. Panoramic views, cooler summers and wild horses make this open concept home the perfect place to escape the city or put to down your own roots in your forever home. With 40 acres, you have plenty of room to spread out!
This home has a massive 2-sided covered porch that is 7.5’ deep and 31’ (east side) and 41’ (north side) long! It’s the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise come up over the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Five of Colorado's 14k foot mountain peaks can be seen from here! A multi-circular drive insures plenty of pull off parking and no traffic jams for when you decide you want to have an abundance of guests over to fire up the grill and watch the sunsets over the San Juan mountains.
The wood burner in the living room can keep you nice and cozy on those mountain snowfall nights; but if you make weekend get-away plans, the propane heater in the bedroom will be all the heat you need.
The bunk house sits to the west of the house; it does not have water or electricity yet. But it does have 1 solar panel and 1 battery. Behind the main house sits what was a large dog, fostering enclosure. The sellers had started to make that a quite large greenhouse!
A 250 gal propane tank is owned (no monthly rental payments) and the tankless water heater saves an incredible amount of propane over what conventional water heaters do!
Water is hauled from the community center and placed in one of 2 water tanks within the ‘water shed’ to the west of the house. The battery/inverter shed is located next to that and the solar panels are on the south side of the metal roof, then the wind generator helps to make up for those cloudy days or longer nights.

Most of the furniture stays if the buyer would like it. The washer is on a roller base. No HOAs to worry about and good cellular reception truly makes this your perfect mountain home.
