6330 State Highway 17, Antonito, CO 81120

This is a FOR SALE BY OWNER property. It's not listed with any realtors, so please don't contact any realtors on this site. Contact me directly 970-361-2243. A nice mountain home with natural river stone on the outside is located right next to the Grouse Creek. You can enjoy private fishing for rainbow trout right off the driveway-bridge. The house is located close to the main highway, making it an easy access either from Antonito, CO (30 miles) or Chama, NM (20 miles) 7 months out of a year. The rest of the time it is accessible by a snowmobile. We used to have a backhoe and a snowcat and plowed our 1 mile of the road when we lived there year round for 10 years. So if you have equipment to keep the road open - it's very doable to live there year round. The house has three levels with the two-car attached garage on the ground level. The sunny living-room is located on the same level and has a nice wood-stove with custom tiling and marble floor. The main level consists of kitchen/dining area and family room with open floor plan, open-beam ceiling, hardwood floors and custom tiling. The kitchen has a great view of the valley with the river and creeks; the narrow-gauge Cumbres-Toltec steam train can be observed daily from your kitchen window. The house is off-grid, but is completely self-sufficient running on solar and wind power. The system is big enough to run all the major household appliances (water pump, microwave, electric refrigerator, washer/dryer, computer, etc.). I am currently researching a possibility of installing a hydroelectric generator on the creek for unlimited power source. The well underneath the house will never freeze and provides lots of good drinking water. The house has on-demand (tankless) propane water heater so you don't run out of hot water. Master bedroom has a loft accessible by pull-down ladder, that can be used as office, additional sleeping area or storage area. The double-sided wood fireplace creates a nice cozy atmosphere in the family room and master bedroom. The fireplace has propane plumbing to it and propane gas log kit available to convert it to propane fireplace if desired. The house is a 3 bedroom home with additional sleeping loft that can be considered the fourth bedroom. The rock enclosed area downstairs attached to the garage is 90% finished, and upon completion can be converted to a separate renal/guest unit, consisting of a bedroom and bathroom (electric is already in place). The house is sold as is, buyer is to verify the square footage. If you have questions, feel free to give me a call 970-361-2243. I cannot schedule the showing until the snow is gone (depending on how warm it's going to get - late April - mid May). Please call in advance so we can plan the showing (you don't need to wait till April to let me know you are interested - I can put your name on the list now). Neighborhood Description The snowmobile/ATV rental business is within a mile in the same subdivision, which makes it very convenient when you have company to rent additional fun toys.
