As you enter the traditional territorial style home, you are greeted with timeless architecture, including authentic adobe construction, five kiva fireplaces, large vigas with custom wood ceilings, and beautiful wood floors. In addition to its traditional bone structure, the house is luxuriously appointed with stainless steel appliances, granite/marble surfaces throughout, and spacious bathrooms including a claw foot tub, jetted tub, and steam shower in the master. 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. On the other side of the house, a covered porch creates a cozy outdoor space to snuggle up to the Kiva fireplace while enjoying crisp fall evenings, starlit skies, and bugling elk.
In addition to the traditional main home, the guest cottage contains a large kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bath, perfect for ensuring you and your guests complete privacy while at the ranch. A large wooden barn paddock with a loafing shed, round pen, and 90′ x 140′ arena create a turn-key horse facility. Your 18 acres of irrigated hay will ensure happy and well-fed horses. 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!
