Delightful and affordable mountain home ten minutes from town. This wonderful home sits up on a shelf and is positioned for southern exposure allowing for a warm, sunny home and capturing the most sun available for outdoor sunrise and sunsets. Views and privacy abound in this very well taken care of home. The main living area is on the second level with an open concept living room, featuring tongue and groove vaulted ceilings, lovely kitchen with back door, two spacious bed rooms with walk in closets and a full bathroom. The owned, solar system practically pays for the electricity allowing for no worry use of base board heating in the winter but there is also a wood stove for more natural heat if desired. Downstairs is a designated entry to the home that parallels the garage. The garage with 8' high 9' wide door is open to (possible) additional living area that can be easily closed in. The laundry is in the garage and a single toilet with space to add a shower and sink and close it in for privacy. There is also a bonus room downstairs with it's own downstairs entrance. The massive walk down deck is such a treat for taking in the valley and mountain views while relaxing and/or entertaining. You can access the deck from each bedroom, the living room and from the ground level. There is a stick built green house and room in front for raised bed gardens. This property is very special being so close to town and so close to Dry Fork which connects to Gudy's Rest and the Colorado Trail for hiking and biking with up to 486 miles of trail. From the front windows, you see Perin's Peak Division of Wildlife land (the Decker Tract) accessible from 160 highway with views if the Lightner Creek valley. To the (east), you can see Twin Buttes & part of Perin's Peak, DOW land. Behind the home is Barnroof Point, accessible from parking area at 207/208 intersection. A great hike up to the point, where you can get a good look at the La Platas. To the west, Lightner Creek Road ends at Destination Ranch (a conservation area and a few homes) where a bit of City Slickers was filmed. This home is surrounded by thousands of acres of State & Federal public lands with access to the National Forest at various points.
