Enjoy affordable mountain living full-time or for weekend escapes – only 47 min from Ft. Collins, CO. This welcoming, ranch-style home is in a charming setting on a rock-lined, horseshoe drive encircling a grove of Ponderosa Pines. The architectural lines of the attractive, well-maintained house and attached 2-car garage are enhanced by large front and back decks. Inside, the home is comfortable and roomy with 1386 sq ft of well-designed space for 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The cathedral ceiling, kitchen skylight, and open plan add to the spacious feel. The kitchen has excellent counter and cabinet space plus a pantry. The wood-burning fireplace (firewood included) has a built-in heatilator and is strategically located to provide a cozy ambiance in cool weather to both the living room and the dining room. The central heating is provided by a propane forced air furnace. Ceiling fans in the front of the house and master bedroom never fail to provide cooling in hot weather at the 7500+ foot elevation. The master bedroom is 14’X12’ and the spacious master bath features an over-size oval tub and extra long vanity counter. There is ample storage in the house, garage, and small shed. A portion of the back deck is enclosed and opens to a 41’X16’ fenced pet run; the insulated garage has an adjacent RV parking pad. Included in the asking price: matching wood blinds throughout the house, kitchen and laundry appliances. Added bonuses: fresh exterior paint, Blue Ribbon Home Warranty, and $2500 floor covering allowance. The gently rolling 1.63 acre lot is open and sunny, mostly tall-grass meadow with wonderful front and back pine groves, other scattered evergreens, and small aspen saplings near the house. Views include high meadow, woods, rock outcrops to the north, and glimpses of a nearby pond. The trees have been regularly inspected for mountain pine beetle and the lot has been checked for fire safety. The “green” owners have used no pesticides, herbicides, or toxic chemicals in the house or on the property for 6 years. Wildlife abounds: mule deer, rabbits, chipmunks, Abert’s squirrels, raccoons, marmots, occasional coyotes and bobcats; raptors and many songbirds, including mountain bluebirds and hummingbirds. The property is in the Glacier View Meadows mountain subdivision, Gate 6 (legal description – Filing 7, Lot 32). This particular location is the ‘banana belt’ of the subdivision, usually enjoying somewhat milder temperatures and lower snowfall than the lower and higher gates. It’s a 3-minute stroll from the house to a community-maintained and stocked fishing/skating pond, green space, and hiking trailhead. Riding trails and horse boarding are nearby, and it is a 15-minute drive to Roosevelt National Forest access. Livermore and Red Feather Lakes are each 22 min away; the Rocky Mountain Shambhala Center, 20 min. Delight in starry, starry nights, sunrise alpenglow, and magic sunset skies at your very own mountain home. |
