Named for its endless periwinkle skies, millions of stars and incredible sunrises/sunsets, Sky Haven at Maytag Mountain Ranch is a stunning 5,709 square foot homestead situated on 100 deeded acres of Colorado splendor in Cotopaxi. Private and tucked into its end of the road location against the rugged Sangre De Cristo mountain range, the property directly borders San Isabel National Forest and offers endless recreational opportunities. The three bedroom, five bathroom home of timber and stone was placed upon the acreage so that each wing has a distinct vista of specific landscape; Eagle Peak and the Sangre de Cristo mountains directly to the West, the Collegiates and numerous other mountains to the North, the Wet Mountains to the East and scrub oak and wildflowers that lead to the twenty-nine mile long Rainbow Trail to the South. While most of the acreage is in its natural state, the grassy areas near the home are watered with a sprinkler and drip system and four concrete patios exist for relaxation and entertaining while surrounded by amazing scenery. Wildlife abounds here with mule deer, elk, peregrine falcon, and black bear to name a few species.

The outdoor feeling does not end upon entrance to the home, as the window placement ensures that the beauty continues. Standing at the farmhouse sink, and granite work areas of the centrally located kitchen, one can see out to the mountains beyond. The kitchen is well appointed with Viking and SubZero appliances, ample hickory cabinetry and a Butler's Pantry with a dumbwaiter for exchange of groceries or luggage to and from the lower level. The family room, great room and dining areas feature beautiful built-ins, soaring ceilings of hickory tongue and groove, exposed timber trusses, double stone fireplace that can be enjoyed from inside or out and access to two patio spaces. A private master wing includes an airy and bright bedroom with a cozy inspiration nook to view sunsets behind Eagle Peak, his and her walk-in closets, and vaulted ceilings. The ensuite bathroom boasts a wet room, with a soaking tub and double-head shower, travertine and marble tile, and a walk-out to patio space with a newer Hot Spring brand hot tub for enjoyment of the stars as this valley is a certified International Dark Sky area! Two offices round out the master wing, both are fantastic work areas. The opposite side of the home includes the laundry room, a spacious gym, half bathroom and two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, shared jack and jill inspiration nook and patio to enjoy Eastern sunrises. A theater room with surround sound and wet bar can be found on the lower level as well as a mudroom with storage off of the two car garage, and an "extra" room that could have many uses. The heart of the home is immaculate and while the home is on the grid, heat and electricity operate from solar and geothermal energy provided through solar panels and two geothermal wells which keep the utilities incredibly low for a home this size. There is a backup generator for power outages. The construction of this home kept energy conservation in mind with double and triple-pane windows, a heat exchange system and humidifier. The deeded acreage can support one additional structure such as a barn or shop.

Maytag Mountain Ranch is a shared amenity ranch. In addition to the deeded 100.95 acres that this home sits upon, there is 1/31 ownership in the larger ranch at nearly 3000 acres.
