Perfect as a secondary retreat from the city or primary home (local schools nationally rated). Breathtaking visual impact of the Spanish Peaks with glowing sand-colored dikes at sunset below them, can all be seen while doing dishes! Spectacular and colorful sunrises and sunsets are a daily event.

This retreat makes for a fantastic sanctuary in an undisturbed wilderness (although you will have to share with local animals). The contemporary 5 bedroom home is warm and inviting with a heat producing wood burning fireplace in LR, open floor plan into dining room/kitchen.
