PENDING SALE THE ROCKING K RANCH To get to the property you drive on 7 miles of private roads that once combined over 15,000 acres of Bull Domingo and Cody Park. The once private hunters dream ranch was divided along the county lines of Custer and Fremont county in 1988. Owners have private community access to Grape Creek and Lake Deweese. The mitigated ¼ mile driveway leads to this beautiful log sided home just outside Westcliffe, Colorado's dark sky community in the lee of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. At 7300 feet between the 14,000 ft peaks of the Rocky mountains and the Wet Mountains, the views are spectacular. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on 35+ wooded acres with giant rock out croppings. The main upper level overlooks a beautiful and entertaining flowered patio with aspen trees. The kitchen island top is made from the tree that once stood in the local Lutheran Church yard. A propane antler chandelier (from property sheds) hangs over the kitchen table and wood floors round off the cozy living area. Walk out with morning coffee or afternoon wine onto the covered deck with breath taking views, wild life, and quiet like you have never experienced. Fabulous mountain views all around. From the 3 car garage you walk into a small TV or exercise room and a big man cave (that can be reversed). Off the grid, it boasts in floor heat (upper level), solar hot air heat (lower level), back up propane generator and heat, renai instant hot water heater with solar pre-heat, wood stove, central vacuum, lots of storage space, a root cellar, a 1,000 gallon propane storage tank and the fixings for industrial strength wind power. Good maintained roads, grid power and phone at the road but not to the house. A stones throw is a cute 10 x 20 bunk house for your guests. Barn is 18 x 40 ft with loft and overhang, 10x19 root cellar, 12 x 40 green house attached to barn with adjacent fenced garden. A couple of acres are fenced for horses, fenced ½ acre dog run behind barn and a 160 yard shooting range. Very good AT&T cell phone coverage and really good internet. This would make a great horse ranch or vacation home, or full time residence. You will have plenty of room to roam and be in the country! An additional 35 acres adjoining is available. We have been the only owners, living here full time, raised a wonderful family here the past 25 years and it's time to downsize! The property tax is $938.80 per year. We will take the final paperwork to the Land Title company in Westcliffe so they can legally process the sale to you.
