Enjoy easy access to and from town and come home to the peace, quiet, and wide-open spaces of the Yampa Valley countryside. The county assessor records show just under 5,000 SF of living space & includes private guest quarters, offering potential for caretaker accommodation and/or rental income. The iconic barn is substantial in nature, value, and size, and and houses numerous potential work and hobby spaces (some heated). Over a half million dollars of improvements have been added to the property in recent years. The main 3 bedroom, 3 bath home, updated by Tom Wood, features large logs and an expansive window package that floods the living spaces with sunshine. Features include an open floor plan extending to two decks, two fireplaces, a sound-protected primary suite, lower-level family room, and beautiful landscaping with mature trees, gardens, and lawns. The home has a few areas in need of remodeling and is priced accordingly. A second, very nice outbuilding has expansive room for vehicles and toys, as well as a private secondary finished 2BD dwelling space with a separate kitchen, baths, etc., perfect for guests, rental, and/or a caretaker. The property is ideal for bringing along four-legged friends, including horses, dogs, and cats, and enjoying it all from your deck with a view of everything. The well water has been reported as abundant by the owner; two paddocks are fenced. This property is not just a home; it's a lifestyle, offering an authentic and versatile way to enjoy country living with privacy, brimming with potential.
