Property Description

Escape the grid, embrace the rugged beauty of the San Luis Valley, and build the self-sustaining lifestyle you've been dreaming of. Perched at an elevation of approximately 8,500 feet, this cabin offers an unparalleled off-grid lifestyle with jaw-dropping views. If you have been searching for a peaceful sanctuary where you can watch incredible sunrises out your front door and spectacular sunsets off the back deck, this is it. Featuring recent cosmetic updates, including fresh paint and brand-new laminate flooring in the living room and bedrooms; this home is a fantastic blank canvas-ready for you to move in, get comfortable, and update the rest at your own pace to make it truly yours. Views include an ancient volcano, the iconic Ute mountain in NM, where the lava once flowed like honey and created the perfectly beautiful domed top. Views to the N and E include the Sangre de Cristos, and the sacred Mount Blanca. Together, you can see five of Colorado's 14 ft peaks! In the W, at a distance, you'll see the San Juan mountain range too. This means that you have fabulous sunrises out the front door and when the sun sets over the San Juans, you have the most striking sunsets. Reached via a dirt road with just a few rugged areas, helps to ensure privacy and keep the hustle and bustle far away. A circular, gated driveway welcomes you, alongside a large, cleared RV parking area for guests or your own rigs. The property includes a small workshop & an older chicken coop. A water catchment system and cistern are in place. Water is currently hauled in, and to make that easy, an unlicensed Ford F250 is included with the sale specifically for hauling your water! The current solar energy system is minimal. It provides a great starting point, but the buyer will likely want to upgrade to a more robust system to fit their specific energy needs. The seller is offering a generous $15,000 concession to the buyer at closing to install a new septic system!
