This Colorado gem boasts a 2-bedroom Colorado-style Guest House with solid oak floors, knotty Alder cabinetry and granite counter-tops, complete with cedar board and batten siding and redwood decking to exemplify the Rocky Mountain dream. The property is approved for a 2nd dwelling……..the main home. So, live and enjoy while you build your dream Home, then use as your Guest House, Manager’s Cabin or Rental property for extra income. The choice is yours!!
The 34’ x 60’ custom built barn, in traditional ‘barn red’, is currently set up with 6 stalls, a heated tack room/bunk room, great storage for your hay, toys & equipment and completely drive-thru with large overhead doors. The building is supplied with running water, electricity and telephone. Don’t have horses!!!!.............use as a workshop, studio, home office, RV or 5th Wheel storage or……whatever! The barn has also been designed so it can be easily modified or expanded.
The 35 acres is very private yet easily accessible via a fully maintained ranch road that leads to a paved County road and easy access to Durango with its great shopping and restuarants. The northern boundary is the main Hay Gulch Creek that flows from the beautiful La Plata River and runs 365 days a year. Close to the western boundary lies Cross Creek that continously meanders, north to south, through the open meadow and mature oaks and Ponderosa pine and provides a haven for your horses and wildlife. To find a property with this much running water is difficult, if not impossible…..especially in this price range. And then there is the Well…..with great quantity and quality. Never buy bottled water again! The property is park-like and beautifully maintained and must really be explored to be appreciated.
This is a rare opportunity to secure your piece of Colorado Heaven before it is too late. The economy is improving, the market is improving and the availability of quality properties like this is becoming rare and more difficult to find. The year 2012 will be remembered as the year it became a ‘Seller’s Market’ again………..!
