Description

Welcome to your private sanctuary nestled within 35 acres of pristine wilderness in Ouray County on Log Hill! This unique property features a charming CABIN HOME where rustic elegance meets cozy living. Inside, the open concept living space is bathed in natural light with large windows framing the stunning Cimarron mountain range and overlooking a SEASONAL pond. Custom cabinetry, wood flooring and a propane fireplace-style heater enhance the Cabin's comfort. The home also includes an entry room, a laundry, an office and a bathroom with a claw foot tub. The upstairs loft, is a non-conforming bedroom that can accommodate a king-sized bed, dressers and more!. Wake up to a beautiful sunrise view! A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR, bisects the property offering regular sightings of deer, elk, eagles, turkeys, and herons, with rare glimpses of lynx, bobcats, lions, and bears. In total, there are three SEASONAL ponds, with State approval to put in a fourth. The 11 fully fenced/irrigated acres of PASTURE offer nearly 360 gorgeous mountain views. Irrigate the pasture with your 95 shares of WATER RIGHTS from the La Tierra Ditch & Reservoir Co. Enjoy the benefits of AG status by leasing the pastures. And, bring your horses! But wait, there's so much more! Adjacent to the Cabin, a delightful, freestanding STUDIO/GUEST casita with a small wood deck provides additional space for visitors or personal projects. The property also includes an exceptional, customized, 2,400 sq. ft. commercial-grade GREENHOUSE - one previously used for year-round cultivation of organic vegetables, herbs, and flowers. (The double-layered, inflatable polyethylene roofing presently needs replacing. However, all other equipment, heating & cooling components, fans, lighting systems, etc., are presently on site and protected in adjacent storage). Accompanying the Greenhouse, and framed to be completely enclosed if desired, is a fully screened SHADE HOUSE. A wood storage shed together with a custom WOOD-FIRED BOILER serve as an optional greenhouse heat source. There is a 1/2 acre, deer-fenced, organic vegetable GARDEN / orchard SITE with an automatic drip system and a functional garden sink with a teak countertop, storage, power and lighting. The delightful CHICKEN HOUSE has a fenced yard and protected run. Complimenting the Garden and Greenhouse, is an enchanting ROOT CELLAR with beautiful custom masonry, an arched door and solar lighting. Perfect for storing your harvests! Additionally, there are TWO SHOPS with power, at the front of the property. One shop has a unique 4' round window and is plumbed for future use as a bath house (fixtures included), potentially for shop or greenhouse convenience - or as part of a larger adjacent building site. Nearby, UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE (water lines, electric, and a septic tank with a leach field) is already in place to build another home at the front of the property. Additionally, two structural Xercon storage containers could be utilized for building, or provide versatile spaces for whatever your needs may be. The existing Cabin comfortably serves as a residence. However, one could reside there while a new home is being built, then later, the Cabin could function as guest space, a mother-in-laws home, an office or studio. Located just three miles from the highway, this property is situated conveniently halfway between Montrose and Ridgway, providing easy access to amenities while maintaining peace and privacy. Local zoning allows for subdividing and with no HOA restrictions, the opportunities are wide open. Whether you envision creating a family homestead, developing an agricultural operation, an educational, permaculture/sustainability site or an organic farm; the expansive land and resources provide the perfect foundation. With varied land structure, mountain views, woodlands, open pastures, seasonal streams and ponds is truly a must see to experience all its diversity and beauty! Book a showing today!
