Nestled just outside Paonia on 10.8 lush, irrigated acres, this remarkable Western Colorado sanctuary blends sweeping mountain views, exceptional craftsmanship, and true multi-use functionality into a property that feels both timeless and irreplaceable. With 12 shares of Minnesota Creek irrigation water and a highly valued Bone Mesa domestic water tap, the land itself is as impressive as the home—fertile, productive, and beautifully maintained, offering the rare opportunity to cultivate gardens, sustain livestock, or simply enjoy the rich green landscape that surrounds you. The warm and inviting ranch-style residence with a walkout basement features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms thoughtfully arranged for comfort, privacy, and flexibility, including two main-level bedrooms with private ensuite baths ideal for multi-generational living or hosting guests. Inside, vaulted ceilings with rustic wood beams elevate the great room, where natural light pours in and frames the dramatic views of Mount Lamborn and the West Elks. The chef’s kitchen is a true standout, showcasing cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and generous prep and storage space designed for both everyday ease and memorable gatherings. The wraparound deck invites you to slow down and savor the panoramic scenery—from the North Fork Valley to the northern mountain ranges—while downstairs, the fully finished walkout level expands your living space with a complete entertainment area featuring a wet bar, pool table, media lounge, and three additional bedrooms, including one with direct patio access perfect for a dedicated guest suite, office, studio, or private retreat. Equestrians and hobby farmers will appreciate the powered barn with four stalls, tack room, and hay loft, along with irrigated pastures, multiple outbuildings, RV parking, and a fully fenced perimeter designed for animals and security. The attached 2-car garage with an office, laundry area, and plumbing for a future bath adds even more versatility, whether for work, projects, or storage, and the newly carpeted office space offers a comfortable environment for remote work or creative pursuits. A peaceful pond, generous fenced garden, split-rail and cross fencing, cedar siding, metal roof, and thoughtful outdoor living spaces all contribute to the property's serene, self-sufficient lifestyle. Whether you dream of homesteading, building a horse property, creating a family retreat, or simply living immersed in natural beauty, this extraordinary estate offers room to grow, room to breathe, and room to live the Western Colorado life you’ve imagined. More than just a home, it is a haven—private, inspiring, and ready to be the setting for your next chapter. "NEW CARPET in the attached Garage Office.”
