Contemporary Home and Well Designed Horse Facilities n 35 Acres in Mountains of Southern Colorado
|
|
This secluded home on thirty-five acres nestles in a ponderosa grove, looking out across gently rolling meadows to the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at the southern end of the Rockies. Architect-designed and built, the home is filled with warm Southwestern touches and stylish yet relaxed nuances. Well-suited the horse owner, it has Electrabraid fenced pastures, 80x140 outdoor dressage arena, three 9x12 storage sheds and a Castlebrook Barn with four stalls, vet and a tack room. This home is conveniently located not far off a county-maintained road about nine miles north of the pleasant small town of Westcliffe, Colorado, in the sunny western foothills of the Wet Mountain Valley.
An old-fashioned covered porch framed with symmetrical imported Spanish-style doors welcomes guests. An entry hall with niches leads into the heart of the house, a slate-floored kitchen/dining area with a tongue-and-groove ceiling of Aspen and peeled Douglas fir log beams. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen has plenty of room for chef’s helpers. Other guests congregate in the generously-sized dining area or enjoy the view through French doors opening to the West-facing main deck.
A wood-burning kiva-style fireplace is the focus of a large living room with views of woods and mountains. A comfortably-sized guest bedroom, and bath accented with hand-made glass and ceramic tile, adjoin the living room. Personal living space includes a cozy family room (or exercise room or third bedroom, depending on space utilization) and a study overlooking the main deck. A large combination mudroom/ pantry/laundry has its own entry from the North end of the porch. The carpeted master suite is a woodsy retreat where window treatment is the dappled shade of the Ponderosa grove, and views of the mountains beyond through French doors opening onto a private deck. The slate bathroom with extra-large soaking tub and walk-in shower provides a serene retreat within a retreat.
This home is at once intimate and spacious, well-appointed yet unpretentious. It is distinguished by thoughtful details throughout, including 10’ and 11’ ceilings, solid mahogany interior doors, over-height Hurd windows with lintels and transoms, and custom lighting. Please contact us for a tour of this home and setting that can be your own little piece of heaven right here on earth.
