Nestled against BLM and National Forest land, this inviting mountain chalet offers both convenience and outdoor adventure, with access to lakes and over 100 miles of hiking trails. Enjoy breathtaking views, lush woodlands, and frequent wildlife sightings-including a resident herd of bighorn sheep. Inside, custom Beetle Kill Pine walls and vaulted ceilings bring warmth and character to the 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout. The attached 1-car tandem garage adds functionality, while the oversized 30' x 48' detached shop/garage provides abundant space for vehicles, tools, and projects. Conveniently located just off Hwy 96, the home is easily accessible year-round-even during heavy snow-thanks to well-maintained roads from both Westcliffe and Wetmore. The last two owners lived here full-time, commuting easily from Pueblo, Canon City, and Florence. Convienent, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, this property blends comfort with true Colorado mountain living.
