The views weren't an afterthought. They were the blueprint. Set on 6.9 private acres in the highly sought after Mesa Antero subdivision between Salida and Buena Vista, this one of a kind custom ranch offers Brown's Creek frontage, towering pines, and breathtaking Collegiate Peaks views. At the heart of the home is a striking hexagonal great room where nearly 360 degree windows frame spectacular mountain views. Soaring Aspen tongue and groove ceilings and a spectacular four sided river rock wood burning radiant fireplace anchor the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating an unforgettable gathering space. The kitchen features granite countertops, pecan cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and breakfast bar seating with mountain views. Radiating from the great room are three thoughtfully designed wings. The private primary wing features vaulted ceilings, patio access overlooking Brown's Creek, dual closets, and a spacious five piece bath with a jetted soaking tub and separate shower. The guest wing offers two bedrooms connected by a Jack n Jill bath. The 3rd wing includes a spacious laundry/mudroom, guest 1/2 bath, pantry storage, and an oversized finished two car garage with mechanical room. An unfinished walk out basement is stubbed for a future bath and provides excellent expansion potential. Engineered for comfort and efficiency, the home features radiant in-floor heat, passive solar design, an extensive heat pump system, a 10 kW grid tied solar array, triple pane Marvin windows, spray foam insulation, and a standing seam metal roof. Composite decks and patios provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy Brown's Creek. Mesa Antero features a voluntary HOA, offering added flexibility while helping preserve the character of this highly desirable mountain community. Minutes from Salida, Buena Vista, Monarch Mountain, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, and public lands, this remarkable property offers an exceptional Colorado lifestyle.
