Property Description
Some places you just feel the moment you pull in. Set on 3.44 wooded acres in Mesa Antero, between Buena Vista and Salida, this post-and-beam mountain home sits among a grove of aspen and more than two hundred ponderosa pines, with Browns Creek running along the back and fourteeners rising beyond the trees. Best of all is the front porch, made for the swing and an evening drink, the kind of spot where an hour slips by before you notice. The swing and all the patio furniture stay, so you can settle in from day one. The home itself is updated and easy to live in, with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a bright sun room, and a kitchen that works as hard as it looks good. Three bedrooms, two baths, and warmth to spare with two fireplaces and a pellet stove. Recent upgrades take the worry out of mountain ownership: a new Class 3 Owens Corning roof in 2024, new mini splits, smart blinds, and Starlink high speed internet that stays with the home. A detached garage adds a 356 sq ft heated bonus room above, perfect for a studio, office, or guest space. Out back, a saltwater hot tub waits for a soak under the stars and a rustic cabin sits creekside near the water. Just off pavement with a paved driveway up to the house, this is real Chaffee County living without the rough road. Fishing and hiking on Browns Creek out the back door, the Arkansas River and Mount Princeton hot springs close by, and two of Colorado's best mountain towns just minutes away. Homes with this kind of creek, privacy, and views don't sit long out here.
