About This Home

Welcome to this charming chalet-style home that pairs comfort with stunning mountain views. Set on 11 acres in Silver Cliff Ranch and only minutes from Westcliffe, this property offers a peaceful mountain setting with the space and flexibility to support day-to-day living, projects, and storage, plus front-row vistas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The house is designed for easy living, with two bedrooms and a three-quarter bath on the main level. The kitchen and living room are anchored by a crackling wood-burning stove, creating a warm, inviting space to gather, unwind, and settle into the rhythm of the day. Sliding patio doors open to the wraparound deck, inviting you to take in stunning vistas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Out here, it’s easy to slow down, breathe a little deeper, listen to the wind in the pines, and watch deer wander across the property. Upstairs, the loft offers valuable flexible space that can work beautifully as a second living area, home office, or creative retreat. The walk-out lower level adds even more functionality with laundry, storage, a small office, a three-quarter bath, and a darkroom/workspace with utility sink; a practical setup for hobbies, projects, and hands-on work. Step outside to the covered patio and enjoy even more mountain views from a sheltered spot. An attached one-car pull-in garage adds convenience, and the huge detached metal building is a true standout, with RV-height doors and space that can easily store a boat and an RV while still leaving room for a workshop and additional storage. If you’re looking for acreage, flexible living space, and standout views near Westcliffe, this Silver Cliff Ranch home is ready to be experienced in person. Call to schedule a showing today.
