Whether from the kitchen, dining room, den, bedroom, garage or deck, the majestic views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains dominate one's field of vision (if not for the dark of night in our Dark Skies community, you'd never have a chance to miss them!). This delightful four-bedroom home is perched at the end of the road on its own precipice, exposing it to the full beauty of this secluded and beautifully wooded mountain (and the wrap-around deck speaks for itself!). This completely self-contained home runs on a strong solar array with all new batteries installed just last year with automatic generator backup! The detached two-car garage has a roomy up-stairs area that leaves a large unobstructed area for versatile uses. This property is just 15 minutes from the historic town of Westcliffe and points beyond. Shopping, dining, a full range of quality health care and other city amenities are just another 50 miles away in the towns of Salida, Canon City and Pueblo (with Colorado Springs just beyond). Visit the nearby Arkansas River for fishing, rafting and related activities. For skiers, the Monarch ski area is just 90 minutes away from Westcliffe with virtually no traffic!
