Adventures abound from this spacious 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home on 40 acres just 5 minutes from downtown Mancos. Tucked away in the hills just north of town, this home has end-of-the-road privacy and adjoins BLM land. Hiking trails behind the home climb a ridge that affords 360 views of the whole valley, La Plata, and Sleeping Ute Mountain ranges. The property has been thoughtfully landscaped, and many updates have been made in the last several years. The home has floor-to-ceiling windows on both levels that bring in plenty of light and the vaulted ceilings help create the spaciousness that characterizes the house. A chef's kitchen has stainless appliances including a 6-burner propane stove with a griddle, and a wine fridge under the island. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor, including the master which opens up to a deck with a fenced-in dog yard. There is a formal dining room on the main floor as well that is currently being used for an office but could be converted into a third bedroom on this floor. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms, one is standard size and the other is slightly larger with an oversized walk-in closet and a separate private entrance. Wood fireplaces warm up both the up and downstairs and there is a new AC unit for the upstairs. Electricity in the home is powered 11 months of the year totally by solar. There is plenty of storage with the attached 2-car garage and the 30x50 barn which has been converted into a greenhouse/storage/tack room with a chicken run and a small, fenced horse pasture. This is country living within minutes of town at its finest! Mesa Verde, Durango, Telluride, and Moab are at your fingertips from this incredibly desirable location.
