Description

Welcome to your secluded Colorado mountain retreat, a spacious 4,200 square foot custom log home sitting on 35, pine-filled acres in Mancos, CO. Located within the exclusive gated Lost Canyon Ranch community, this property offers privacy and the rare freedom of no covenants or HOA's. The home features 2 generously sized bedrooms, both with a private full bath, including two main-floor suites with jetted tubs and walk-in showers. Heat the house with a cozy fire in the 20-foot fireplace (in the living room) or with the EFFICIENT Charmaster multi-fuel forced-air furnace. This heating system is designed to operate on wood or diesel fuel connected to fuel tanks just outside; it ensures long-lasting and efficient heat distribution throughout the home. The property features a private well, three 1,800-gallon cisterns, and wood storage with covered access making it ideal for year-round living or an off-grid-ready mountain escape. The home is on the electric grid. The chefs kitchen has lots of cabinetry, Corian countertops, a double oven, a cook island, a breakfast bar, and walk-in pantry. The layout includes a formal dining room AND a distinguished library/office (with a closet) that has forest views. A few interior inclusions are: tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting features, Berber carpet, and solid wood trim and doors. There is a 3-car attached garage WITH A FULLY FINISHED 714 SQ FT GUEST SUITE above, complete with its own full bathroom and private access. Outside on the large deck, enjoy the sound of the wind dancing through the trees and the bullfrogs singing in their seasonal pond. There is a second finished structure on the property equipped with power and a wood-burning stove currently used as workshop, but could also be an artist studio, or future guest cabin. The home's layout lends itself to full-time living, multi-generational use, or short-term rental potential (Airbnb-friendly setup). If youre looking for peace, privacy, and natural luxury in the heart of the San Juan National Forest region, then this lovely mountain retreat may be the perfect place for you.
