Located on a high desert mesa facing the La Plata Mountain range, this stunning adobe home is perched above the confluence of the La Plata River and Cherry Creek. This exceptional 61+ acre property, with custom adobe main home and separate guest home situated to showcase the panoramic views, is a fine example of sustainable living in harmony with the land. You're greeted with circular driveway access (off paved County Road 100) to a welcoming south-facing courtyard with brick walkway, native plants and stones gathered by the owners, to the covered portal and front entrance. As you explore the many features of this unique property, you'll be taken aback by the attention to detail and the immense warmth of this well-constructed home. The intricate doorways and latilla ceilings in the front hallway tastefully showcase the authentic style of the home, and elevated ceilings feature solid wood beams throughout. The kitchen is spacious, with custom cabinetry and granite slab countertops, Viking range and upgraded appliances along with a huge island that is the heart of the home. Adjoining the kitchen is a casual dining area as well as the formal dining room just off the living area, which opens to the covered portal patio in the back of the home, shaded and protected, with fireplace and elevated patio table to experience dramatic views during sunrise and sunset. The living area is open and airy, with a kiva fireplace and big picture windows facing the mountains, and is set up perfectly for entertaining. Down the hall from the main entrance you will find a half bath for guests, and a office space with glass doors and built in shelves and countertops. The primary bedroom suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a sitting area facing the mountain views and the waterways below, kiva fireplace, generous walk-in closet, soaking tub and separate shower, and double vanity. A wide east-facing covered portal is accessed off the primary bedroom hallway and is another spot to take in the sights and sounds of nature all around. The main house also has a guest bedroom that currently serves as a library, with built-in bookshelves, next to a ¾ bath. There is an attached two car garage, mud room, and a versatile laundry/project/fitness space with sink, and storage galore. Additionally, friends and family can enjoy their privacy in the stylish separate 3 bedroom, 2 bath guest house, equipped with a full kitchen and covered carport. The guest house has a small fruit tree orchard area on the south side and the trees have grown large enough to start bearing fruit. Solar systems have been installed on both homes for energy efficiency and low cost utilities. This property also has a dryland farming lease in place, 2 reserved taps for the La Plata West Water Authority, and a large cistern easily accessible from the circular drive.
