8504 US Hwy 24/285, Buena Vista, CO, 81211

Imagine for a moment A home of its environment, not in its environment. It’s a magical vibe. Positioned perfectly amidst the natural setting of pinon, outcroppings and rolling hills, this very special, southwestern inspired custom home commands impressive, 360 degree views, including the Collegiate Peaks and the Arkansas River valley to the west, and also Limestone Ridge and vast BLM land to the East and north. Not a neighbor in sight. Settlers surely followed the Utes over Trout Creek Pass as an established travel route in the 1800’s. Now a modern highway, 285 provides easy access to this impressive home nestled along a ridge that borders public land and the historic Midland Railroad trail. With private access to the Midland Trail, you can literally hop on the trail on your mountain bike and ride to BV from your property. Deer, elk, bobcat, black bear, and mountain lion come and go and have been seen meandering through. A covered entry protects you from the weather and beckons from the paved circle drive outside the fenced courtyard. Through the entry, you are greeted by massive, log columns and purlins in the vaulted living room with blue-stain, t&g ceilings. The wall of windows look west to indescribable views of the Collegiate Peaks. But don’t forget the views to the east of Limestone Ridge from the covered porch on warm, summer afternoons. Distressed, solid wood doors and wide plank, rough-sawn wood floors add to the rustic charm of this special masterpiece. With main level living, the spacious interior has a bathroom in each bedroom, and all bedrooms have a walk-in closet. The property is secluded and private, yet a paved driveway provides easy access to Hwy 24/285 just 10 mins from downtown Buena Vista. Two contiguous parcels for a total of 36.4 acres (+/-) provides plenty of privacy, with future development potential if desired. Call today! See video here: https://vimeo.com/704701729
