The main also house has a beautifully landscaped courtyard adorned with roses, perennials, and irrigated grass to create a private retreat with unobstructed views of Greenhorn Peak.

The adobe studio complete with viga ceiling and wood stove can serve as a shop or an artist studio.
The property borders both State Trust Land with private lease and BLM land to provide miles of trail riding opportunities. The Huerfano River traverses its way along the edge of the property feeding cool mountain water to the irrigated fields. The property provides convenient access to I-25, and is just a half hour from beautiful La Veta!
