Located just east of Trinidad, CO you'll find perched high on a mesa top one of the finest built homes in the region. Built in 1996, this 5,589 sq. ft. single family dwelling with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathboasts top of the line finishes including a wolf range, subzero refrigerator, granite counter tops, sandstone accents, two fireplaces, propane radiant heat,and vaulted ceilings. Additionally there is a huge living room with outstanding views of the Spanish Peaks, media room, office, library, exercise room, 3 car garageand a combination laundry/mudroom with a fullsize shower.Literally there are too many upgraded features to list! For the asking price alone you would have a difficult time replacing the structures without giving any consideration to the value of the land!

Other structures on the ranch include a 987 sq. ft. guest house built in 1993, a 1,200 sq. ft. shop constructed in 1996 and a 540 sq. ft. barn built in 1996. The guest house has 1 bedroom downstairs, an upstairs loft for extra sleeping quarters, a full size bath andkitchen, stacked washer/dryerand baseboard heat.Other noteworthy ranchitems includecity water to all thestructures and stock tanks, large propane tank for the primary residence, split rail fence down the drive way, and of course the outstanding views of Johnson Mesa and surrounding themountains, valley and mesa's.

The landscape ofthe Ranch is varied from mesas and canyons to gentling rolling hills and flat grazing land. Themesas and canyonsare covered in pinyon and juniper while the balance of the ranch has scattered yucca, juniper and native shrubs. While on the ranch I counted a minimum of 5 cattle ponds and 5 galvanized stock tanks which are used for supplemental watering during times of drought. There is good perimeter fencing and pasture so you can either bring your own cattle heard or lease the ground to a local rancher. The ranch has been placed in a conservation easement protecting it from further subdivision.

The ranch is located in game management unit 140 which is known for producing trophy quality big game.Resident big gameanimals include mule deer and antelopewith the occasional mt. lion and black bear coming down from the high country (check back soon for updated big game pictures). As an added bonus turkey are present in the area as well! Other recreational hunting opportunities include small game hunting for coyote, fox, bobcat and rabbits as well as wing shooting for quail and dove. While there is good hunting on the property, Mesa Top Ranch would make an outstandinghunter or outfitter base camp.
