25745 Road T.5, Dolores, CO 81323

This is a great location in the rural Dolores vicinity with over 18 acres of land, MVI water, fenced pasture, outbuildings, and a marshy habitat for does and their babes! Every year the deer from the area choose to raise their fawns behind the safety of the willows, and the Seller enjoys listening to their conversations, watching the fawns frolic. The DW home has big rooms, bonus rooms, and an addition; a two story construction featuring a multiple purpose solar sun room with an adjoining hot tub room (no hot tub currently in place), a walk-in pantry with a crazy amount of storage, and an upstairs bedroom / bathroom suite that is accessible via the iconic spiral staircase. Recently updated in 2021, the kitchen has a new refrigerator, oven/range, and stylish kitchen farmhouse sink. Temperatures in the original part of the home are moderated by a wood-burning stove and evaporative cooler, which is how we keep it comfy around here! Yet additional features include an extended covered porch area across the north side of the home - making an excellent outdoor area for kiddos or drinking coffee, having tea parties, cooking on the grill - as well as two upper level balconies, one with exterior ingress/egress. The property: This isn't a bare landscape either... Many trees, including fruit trees, grass, irrigation canal frontage, and double entry driveway complete the amenities here. The property and home do need some deferred maintenance and other repairs or finish work, but this is a timely opportunity for lots of acreage and a perfect environment for a hobby farm, 4-H Projects, horses, cows and chickens and the whole Old MacDonald farm! The property is divided by the irrigation canal, which may make a convenient split for the home of a family member or private sale - of course following county rules and regulations. How about renting this house and building a custom home as another lucrative possibility! The pasture has been leased for horses in the recent past so there is a bit of income potential there, as well! Note the age of the mf home will limit financing possibilities, but bring your cash for a better investment than CDs or savings accounts - and probably safer than the stock market, too.
