Mountain View Home, Ridgway

Land Description

Come see this mountain view home, specifically designed to enjoy all that Ouray County has to offer. It has just under 2000 square feet, distributed on three levels, and is designed to work well for an individual or a couple, yet work great when large groups come to visit. The focus is on the mountains of course, and the entire south end of the great room is devoted to catching outstanding views of the Sneffels Range. This room has towering ceilings and a comfortable design, which is open throughout the living room, dining room, kitchen and pantry areas. A protected entry area that you access up the stairs on the west side of the home serves as a mud room/ air lock, and gives you a spot to hang your coat and knock the snow off your shoes before you head into the core of the living space. The entire home features several mountain feel building effects, including stone, aspen wood trim, log accents and engineered wood flooring. The main level also includes a pantry and laundry area as well as a nicely sized second bedroom and bath. When you climb the beautiful log stairway to the upper level you'll love the huge space on what most would consider the master bedroom level. This loft overlooks them main level, and there's a substantial amount of space near the front of this level for a sitting room, office, craft area or workout room. The bedroom is huge, and not only includes a private bathroom, but also has a walk in closet and very significant views of the mountains to the south, as well as the full Cimarron Range to the east. The lower level is a nice surprise. Another log stairway leads to this level, with has a large 330 sq ft room that is heated, is trimmed out and ready for your additional guest room, or to be used as it has been in the past as a craft room/workshop. This room has an exterior access, so that it could be used as an additional entrance place for friends and family to stay without bothering you in the main level. The garage is at this level as well, and it's roomy, completely finished and ready for your vehicles, toys and other goodies. All this is situated in one of Ouray County's nicest view lots, which is thoughtfully terraced and cleared to provide a mountain, low maintenance lawn, along with towering, healthy Ponderosa pines. Views are of the full Sneffels Range to the south as well as the Cimarrons to the east. Come see this fine home, only used on a part time basis by its original owners, who had it built according to their requirements. Be sure to bring your camera or phone so that you're ready to take great pictures to show your family and friends that you'll be enjoying soon.
