Vee Locke Ranch! Wide open spaces, majestic views and immaculate landscaping compliment this gorgeous home perfectly. The property is private, with room to roam, and the views are spectacular, all within convenient driving distance from big city amenities. Open floor plan, modern appliances and stunning details qualify this home as exceptional and the xeriscaping and potential within the property certainly follows suit; nothing about this home or its surroundings is 'average'.      Location: Nestled at the base of Locke Mountain, in what is referred to as 'The Banana Belt' of Custer County, this property truly offers the best of the best. Located just outside of Wetmore, a beautiful and quaint town at the base of the Wet Mountains, this location   allows one to experience the 'small town feel' and the rich community formed within a scenic, ten minute drive away is the historic town of Florence. This spot is truly a treasure trove of antique shops, one-of-a-kind eateries and even a local art center.  At this elevation, the four seasons will be gloriously evident, yet not quite as extreme as   one would find higher in the mountains. The 360 degree views include Pikes Peak in all its   majesty, rolling hills of the valley floor and the rugged Locke Mountain in what is practically the backyard.      Acreage: Venturing around this property is a wonderful experience; it is secluded and serene, allowing you to breathe deep of the crisp, mountain air. These 10.5 acres are perimeter fenced and ready to be fully utilized. Open pasture makes this land perfect for horses, dogs and other animals. There is also a chain link fence set up around the backyard. The wooded areas with a walking trail, fire pit and natural arroyo beckon nature enthusiasts and explorers of all ages. Beautifully aged ponderosa pines accentuate the property year round and the vibrant red hues of oak brush will burst to life in autumn. The landscaping is immaculate and includes sections of river rock, gravel and natural, native grasses.      Improvements: This home is both impressive and inviting. Paved roads all the way to Vee Road and a large circular driveway enable easy access for your sports car, truck and trailer or RV! The detail and planning of this layout truly equip the property for   accommodating any type of home owner. The open floor plan of this impressive home make it the obvious choice for entertaining party guests or chasing kids and grandkids. The pellet stove and large, quality picture windows, overlooking a meticulous backyard, maintain the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the house.     With an attached two car garage, entering the house will be effortless, even in winter with  a trunk full of groceries! This oversized garage space is truly impressive; 100% finished, it includes storage above a portion of the garage as well as a shop area, freezer and access   to the backyard. A closet area keeps an on demand water heater and the controls for hot  water base board accessible yet disguised.    Entering the home, eyes will immediately be drawn to details such as the log accents, cozy   breakfast nook and a smoky glass chandelier perfectly framed in the inset TV area. The living room is a unique, half-octagonal shape ideal for placing couches and creating comfortable spaces to relax. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes oak cabinets, quality, like-new appliances, a seated bar area and stainless steel hood over the stove. A multi-purpose island, sizable pantry and beautifully designed tile backsplash inspire the ideal environment for creating delicious meals and wonderful memories. Just off the kitchen is an extremely convenient, extra large laundry room with utility sink. Oak/laminate flooring, neutral shades of paint and the crown molding at the wanes coating level blend together exquisitely.
