23188 Highway 140 Hesperus, CO 81326

There is a charming farmhouse feel to this affordable Hesperus home, just a few houses south of Hwy 160 for easy access to Durango and Mancos. This property would make a great starter home or an investment for rental income. Newer privacy fencing has created a courtyard to enclose the spacious covered front decking with French doors welcoming you into the main living area complete with a warm and efficient propane fireplace to cozy up to in your favorite chair. Updated in 2017 with open shelving, stainless appliances and a butcher block breakfast bar, the country kitchen and dining area is big enough for a farmhouse table by the large wood stove. A dedicated laundry room and a full bath complete this level. Upstairs you’ll find the master bedroom plus a second living area (identified as the 2nd bedroom by the county) featuring a large trex balcony on the front, a convenient half bath, and ample closet and storage space. The .6 acre parcel boasts a stone patio with a covered gardening bed where tomatoes, peppers and herbs can thrive, and a fire pit area. For serious woodworking or just puttering around, there is a fully insulated workshop complete with electricity. A seasonal creek borders the back of the lot and there are two off street parking spaces in front. The La Plata River is across the street with trails close for hiking or biking, and Hesperus Ski Area is just a mile away so you can enjoy our great outdoors in all seasons., With its tasteful retro vibe and great location, this property is value priced and ready for you to call home!
