0042 blue lakes road

WOW! A truly special piece of Colorado. Enjoy being surrounded by open spaces, trails, high peaks, a perennial headwaters stream, and wildflowers galore. The moose stop by to enjoy the view regularly as well. One of the original of the few properties in this neighborhood, this one has not been available in 30 years. The homes at Monte Cristo Subdivision are now inside the boundaries new Camp Hale National Monument. This means the owners have unique protections from further development. This is an opportunity to buy a rare property in a National Monument. The remodels over the years by owners who've lived there and experienced the lifestyle have brought this home to its peak. Massive window improvements to the South wall have made passive solar gains and the views ever better. Brand new water heater and hot tub. The property is on municipal sewer, and has a new well pump, baseboards, and appliances that have been replaced within the last few years. It has also been well insulated for energy efficiency with a wood stove to compliment the baseboard heat. The outside has a lawn with grass and after years of careful planting - wildflowers to bloom all summer long. Escape to your new mountain paradise, schedule a showing today!
