Property Description
This magical home was a sanctuary for an artist, and it shows. The home is small and comfortable. The land is wondrous, with trails through the yard and around the house, artwork everywhere, with seating areas, meditative resting places, and thoughtful earth-respectful designs. The exterior perimeter along the road is walled off for privacy and a sense of artistic inclusion, with the hillside behind you wrapping around you. The home has a central radiant propane heating unit in the living room, as well as additional electric radiant heat in the separate rooms. Air conditioning is provided by a wall unit in the living room. Water is provided by well, with the potential to hook up to West Fort Collins Water District. Wastewater is septic. Much of the existing artwork and furnishings may be included in the purchase if you wish. You honestly have to walk this property to experience it.
