This custom steel-frame home in the Zapata Falls area is back on the market after winter break and routine upkeep, and it is fully ready for showings. The seller is motivated and open to all reasonable offers, including FHA, VA, CHFA, and conventional financing.
Set on just under 11 acres in the Zapata HOA, this property offers something that is rarely available in this community. Most lots here range from 1 to 5 acres, making this one of the larger parcels in the subdivision. It is also one of the largest homes in all of Zapata Falls, positioned in a way that takes full advantage of its surroundings—pine forest, wide-open skies, and uninterrupted views of both the Great Sand Dunes and the full Sangre de Cristo mountain range.
From the property, you can see the entire sweep of the sand dunes and the entire mountain range without obstruction. These are not partial or distant glimpses—this is a full, wide, panoramic view that changes with the light throughout the day. Despite the private mountain setting, the home is only about 10 minutes from the Great Sand Dunes National Park and about 10 minutes from Zapata Falls, giving it a rare balance of seclusion and access.
The home is just under 3,000 sq ft and built with a custom steel frame for strength and longevity. The layout is open with high ceilings and natural wood beams that match the surrounding landscape. Large custom picture windows framed in hardwood are placed throughout the home to capture direct dune and mountain views from nearly every room.
Upstairs features Saltillo tile flooring, while the lower level includes finished concrete floors that can be left as-is or finished further. The kitchen includes solid wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, and open sightlines to the surrounding scenery. Heating is provided by one wood-burning stove and one propane stove, offering dependable warmth through the winter season.
The primary bathroom includes a jetted tub positioned to take in the mountain and dune views, along with custom tile work carried throughout both bathrooms.
Outdoor living includes two balconies positioned to maximize the views of the dunes and mountains. The front yard is fully fenced and includes two large kennels. The property is horse-friendly and sits within a well-established, supportive mountain community.
