The space
Located across the Wet Mountain Valley from Peak and Needle, your view of the Rockies stretches 130 miles from the Spanish Peaks to Mt Princeton. Watch a sunset over the Sangres and see the stars pop out of the crystal black sky. Ease inside to the comfy sectional by a crackling fire.
7 of the Colorado's 52 "Fourteeners" are visible from the couch! Two large bedrooms in the upstairs loft overlook the custom river-rock fireplace.
Antelope share the 5 acres with mule deer, prairie dogs, coyotes, and a wonderful variety of birds.
The house was designed with an ‘open concept’. Windows surround the home for a nearly 360° view of the mountains and sky from both bedrooms and 180° from the living area. The bedrooms are "loft" spaces with minimum "closed-in" space.
