Welcome to your serene oasis in the desert, with charming guest house, gardens with pond & workshop building, all nestled behind stucco walls. Countless carefully crafted outdoor spaces optimise every possible view. Located at the very edge of the Baca Grande subdivision, this property boasts the unique location of bordering National Forest lands to the back, which extend all the way to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, with no civilization standing between you and epic vistas of the sand dunes in the distance.
The interior of the house has an old-west hand crafted feel with a unique floor plan, wood floors throughout, and many thoughtful little details. You enter the house from a slate tile front porch, into a generous mudroom with plenty of space to store your outdoor gear in two closets. The entry space is lit with clerestory windows, bringing warm southern light into the center of the home. The main living space features a spacious living room under an octagon wood ceiling, with large picture windows, a bright kitchen with a custom, built-in dining area and a perfectly placed window that lets in morning light and allows you to see all the way to the Great Sand Dunes while you sip your morning coffee. The crowning jewel of this gem of a property is the wide, deep sitting porch on the east side of the house, facing the mountains. Hidden from the intense heat of the summer sun, this porch will be where you want to while away your summer afternoons and evenings, watching the sunset light reflect off the Sangres in their finest hour of the day.
This home and its grounds have been lovingly tended as the owners intended it to be their forever home. Now it can be yours.
The off-grid systems of this property are fully up to date, with a brand new generator, new battery bank, and new power inverter. With rich soil in the gardens, a spacious garden shed, 400 sq/ft workshop, and an adorable separate guest cabin, your off-grid dream home awaits!
