Mountain Views, Total Privacy, and Prime Location-This One Has It All! This beautifully maintained, single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath property is set on 36 private acres just off Highway 9-only 11 miles from town, yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Backing up to over 13,000 acres of BLM land in GMU 581, it's a rare combination of peace, privacy, and outdoor adventure. Inside, you'll find an open-concept layout with a spacious kitchen featuring ample storage, a large breakfast bar that seats six, and a bright, airy dining/living area. Two sets of heavy-duty French doors lead to a private covered patio-perfect for soaking in the incredible mountain views and star-filled skies. A bonus flex space off the living area includes a beautiful soapstone wood stove and can be used as a formal dining room, office, or cozy sitting area. The primary suite is a true retreat with large windows, an 8-foot walk-in closet, and a five-piece bath complete with soaking tub & walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer large closets and great natural light. The laundry room is located just off the attached two-car garage and includes built-in cabinetry and a linen closet for added storage. This home was built for mountain living with hardy features, including a durable metal roof, stucco exterior, tall pine ceilings, newer double-pane windows, and a strong domestic well producing over 15 GPM. A 1,200-gallon cistern provides extra water storage, and the iron filter and water softener ensure excellent water quality. You'll stay comfortable year-round with electric baseboard heaters, an electric furnace, a soapstone stove, and A/C for those warmer summer months. Outside, the property is clean and well cared for with rock-lined driveways, two sheds including a large Morton shed, and a powered RV-ready carport. Whether you're looking for a forever home, a getaway, or a base for outdoor adventures, this property offers the perfect mix of comfort, freedom, and natural beauty.
