13120 County Road 261a, Nathrop, CO 81236

Comfortable, welcoming Colorado mountain home on 2.89 acres bordering San Isabel National Forest. It is a perfect vacation home or full-time residence. Beautiful weather, abundant wildlife, and incredible starry night skies amid picturesque Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks will make you happy to be away from city lights and bustle. Tucked into a quiet, secluded spot in the highly desired Mesa Antero community, the home’s interior features tongue and groove flooring, ceilings, and walls. The main level of this home features a living room, dining room, master bedroom with full bath, large utility room, and gorgeous views of the beautiful scenery from every window - especially the 14 feet of living room picture windows. The high-end wood stove in the living room can heat the entire energy-efficient, ICF-constructed home, including the sizeable upstairs studio and secure office space, bedrooms, and bath. There is abundant storage throughout the house and garage, including a 900 sq ft 5’ high crawlspace. The 1083 sq ft is heated as well. Outside space includes a 250 sq ft balcony, a flagstone patio wrapping around the south and east sides, and a north deck. Mesa Antero is centered around Browns Creek (a short walk from the property) and offers a creekside park and picnic area for use by residents. A custom home builder personally built this well-loved home for use as their residence. The location is ideally situated halfway between Salida and Buena Vista. Local amenities not usually found in a rural area include plenty of restaurants and shops, a regional hospital, and the Monarch Ski Resort. Seventy-five percent of the land in Chaffee County is public, including San Isabel National Forest and Browns Canyon National Monument. Recreational opportunities include hiking, rafting, kayaking, Gold Medal fishing, cross country skiing, mountain biking, and more. Because of the unusually mild climate of the area, locals refer to it as Colorado’s “banana belt.”
