Exceptional family retreat located on the sunny side of the City of Ouray. Three separate dwellings are comfortably nestled on this quiet and secluded spacious triple lot. Surrounded with great views of Twin Peaks, Hayden Mountain and towering mountains to the south and west over the city. Conveniently located to many restaurants and shops, Cascade Falls and the Perimeter hiking trail accommodating recreationalists that make Ouray famous. The Victorian “main house” dates back to 1885. It is approximately 1,677 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, spacious living room and parlor. Beautifully restored original hardwood and pine flooring supports this little gem. The 10-foot ceilings, extensive natural wood trim, ceiling fans and period lighting throughout enhances the character of this historic home comfortably heated by a free-standing gas stove. Taking in the views from the covered porch is truly a step back in time. Another dwelling, the “Buddha House” is a Victorian reproduction that can be used as a separate guest quarter, retreat cabin or a contemplative space with loads of period character. It was built using extensive antique leaded stain glass, hand-crafted “gingerbread” trim, pillared porch and bay window are integral to the design of this “painted lady” inspired cottage. Many talented artist and writers frequent this quaint space. Attached is the “miners’ cabin” housing a water closet, kitchenette with a cooking unit from a Westfalia RV! The cottage is fully insulated with beaded pine ceilings, an absolute must see! Last but not least is the contemporary “studio/workshop” built in 2001. Boasting 1,152 sq. ft. of Wow Factor. No expenses were spared in the design and construction. Cedar siding, 13 foot soaring vaulted ceiling, premium doors and massive low-E glazing provides passive solar heat/UV shading seasonally. The cozy wood burning stove in the den and sleeping loft are separated by French Doors for extra privacy. Bright open floor plan offers the kitchen with custom maple cabinetry, fridge, generous counter spaces and full bath. European cable lighting, triple ceiling fans and full surround sound tops it off! This truly inspiring private space overlooks a gorgeous yard, terraced gardens and stamped concrete patio! The “studio” completes this ideal family compound. There is room for many or few, offering unlimited possibilities between all three dwellings. Many details available at the time of showing!
