Get away for winter! Get off the beaten track! Escape those dull grey city skies and claim your fully furnished and equipped three-storey solar-powered home in the blue-sky high Rockies of Southern Colorado. Two bedrooms upstairs, one downstairs, each area with its own kitchen and bathroom, and vast views of the San Luis Valley from every window. This is rural privacy at its best, in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, with only the sweet sounds of nature to take away all stress. Our five secluded acres are part of the original Forbes Trinchera Ranch, so you can hike, bike, ski, or wander miles and miles of country roads surrounding the base of our fourteener, Mount Blanca. Starting January 2023, everything is provided for monthly or six-month stays, so you can fix dinner the same day you arrive. We prefer a month-to-month lease, and a year-long lease is negotiable. Call, connect, and come see the amazing simple luxuries you'll enjoy while living lightly, solar powered, on Earth. 3 BR 2 BA off-grid solar-powered country home in southern Colorado is very private, very rural, nestled in the shadow of Mount Blanca, in the Rocky Mountain foothills of the San Luis Valley. Located near the Mountain Home Lake and the Great Sand Dunes National Park, our cool summers and blue-sky sunny winters have earned us consistent rave (5-star) reviews as a vacation rental since 2015, appealing especially to quiet types (writers, photographers, nature-lovers) and very active folks (mountain climbers, hikers, bikers, fishermen), and people with independent or remote-sourced income (very fast WIFI). Perched on the west side of La Veta Pass, we're at 8,300 ft altitude, providing summer time relief from the heat; and in winter our winding country roads offer unique hiking and cross-country snowshoe adventures and skiing. We're within 1.5 hrs drive to Taos Ski Valley, Wolf Creek Ski Resort, and in easy driving distance to a number of hot springs and spas. Tell me about yourself and why you want to stay here. I require references and proof of income. Come stay a couple of days to try out your new home!
