Beautiful 12+ acre mountain retreat gracefully set in a lush valley and backing to thousands of acres of BLM land, creating additional privacy and peace. Aspen, pine, gambel oak, native grasses, and small trees of every kind accentuate the landscape and can be enjoyed from the large chocolate flagstone patio (wrapped in custom iron work) or one of the two decks. This quaint community features a resident-only fishing stream, community gathering space, and county maintained roads. Your neighbors are wildlife of every kind: deer, elk, turkey, eagles, owls, and more. The family of the original settlers of the valley reside just to the north, and many original buildings from days gone by dot the valley. The home features luxury appointments throughout in a rustic yet contemporary design: T&G ceilings, copper sinks, custom art wall treatment and built-in, leathered countertops, and so much more. Upper level features primary bedroom, living room and kitchen, while the lower features a spacious famly room and den, second bedroom, bathroom, and large flex room/office/den. The main garage is oversized, heated, has an epoxy floor, and there is an additional spacious barn/two-car garage with concrete floor. New furnace and AC in 2021; new garage heater, carpet, LVP, and windows in 2020. Teller Wi-Fi high-speed internet. Just 25 minutes to shopping and Cripple Creek, 35 minutes to Woodland Park, and 60 minutes to Colorado Springs. Recreational opportunities abound in the surrounding area.
