House on a hill. This is a beautiful home on over 50 acres that is only 15 miles from Salida, CO. Just outside of Chaffee County, this property will allow for short term rentals or just offers out of the city living, while still being close to city amenities. Inside is spacious with a thoughtful floor plan that invites gathering in the living areas and quietness in each bedroom. There are two bedrooms on the main floor including the primary with an en suite that has a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. A second full bath is upstairs that's great for guests and the second bedroom. The kitchen, living, and dining area are big with nice wood floors and plenty of counterspace and entertaining room. A door leads you downstairs to the finished basement with another large family room with a wood stove. There's a convenient kitchenette with a bar fridge on this level and a laundry closet with the washer and dryer. A big bedroom with attached bath has been used as a bunk room and is a fun space for big groups to have a sleepover, or a perfect spot for a mother-in-law suite. The basement has walk-out access that overlooks the incredible Sangre De Cristo mountain range. It is a peaceful, pretty property that backs up to BLM and extends into National Forest for the easiest access to all of the mountain recreation the San Luis Valley has to offer. This home is worth a trip to see how close it is to town, and worth a peek to see how great of a property this one is!
