You won't have to decide between views and privacy in this unique floorplan with both covered and sunny decks, aspens, crabapple, cedar, and pinon, and colorfully planted shrubs and perennials. A birders paradise, there is even a pond (though it's not in use this year). Fenced and cross-fenced, about 2 acres are groomed and the rest left as nature made them, backing to BLM to the south lot line, and close to Phil's World. There is a view from every window: LaPlatas, Mesa Verde, Sleeping Ute, and even Totten Lake Reservoir! Ample Corian counters, a true vented kitchen fan, gas range/oven, breakfast bar, pull-out shelving in cupboards, all comprise a comfortable kitchen. The generous dining room could also be an office. Fabulous 2 story stone fireplace and tongue in groove cathedral ceilings set this floor plan apart from the rest, but the 2 story windows bring the outdoors inside and flood the home with sunshine. The owner's suite upstairs has a loft which is currently used for workouts with a view, but could also be a small loft/office. The owner's walk-in closet measures nearly 16 x 12. See Floor plan in Documents. Low HOA fees cover road maintenance, and 2 units of irrigation water currently total just $100 annually. The oversized, taped and textured insulated garage has electricity and adding heat could be possible. It also has a pull-down attic ladder. There is a custom "stair chair" which has been carefully disassembled, wrapped and stored in the garage, allowing for handicap access to the upstairs owner's suite. It can stay with the property if written into Inclusions. All appliances stay except for the refrigerator at the East side entry to the home. For convenience and bringing the outdoors indoors, there are four entries, and a wrap-around covered deck on the north and east sides, plus a sprawling southern deck at the back of the house, just off the living room, with a comfortable pergola for shade. Minutes from Mancos, Dolores, or Cortez, this tucked away country home with year round access is in the middle of Colorado's Four Corners and within about an hour of Monticello, or same to Durango, and an hour and a half to Telluride. Be sure to view the multiple virtual tours and floor plans, but don't stop there. Step inside!
