This is one of those properties that is hard to explain until you stand there and realize what it actually is. The setting is beautiful, yes, but the real story is the land. With 25.77 acres and direct access to 1,567 acres of BLM that is landlocked by surrounding private property, this property lives bigger than its acreage. It gives you room to breathe, room to roam, and a level of privacy that is getting harder and harder to find. The home itself has been very thoughtfully updated and well cared for. It offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a fully remodeled kitchen, Brazilian granite countertops, new flooring, and new tiled showers. The large windows face the Arapaho National Forest and bring in big views, along with both sunrise and sunset. There is a large deck stretching across the front of the home, which is exactly where you will want to be. The layout is practical too, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and the laundry upstairs, while the large primary bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and living room are all on the main level. This property was clearly set up by someone who put real thought into how mountain living actually works. The solar system is owned, not leased, and includes a 48-volt setup with 16 batteries through Solar Bear out of Grand Lake. There is also a backup generator already hooked up. A 1,000-gallon propane tank, oversized septic design, fenced dog yard, buckrail fencing to keep the local cows back, and fire mitigation around the home all add to the functionality and peace of mind. The 24 x 24 shop is another major asset, with a concrete floor, insulated walls, a large door, built-in countertops, and storage. Whether you need space for projects, equipment, or just extra room to work, it is a great setup. And then there is the location. Just a few miles outside of Hot Sulphur Springs on County Road 55, also known as Cottonwood Pass, this area is highly sought after for good reason. In the summer, you can take the road straight through to Highway 40 north of Granby. It feels private and tucked away, but it is still connected.
