Description
This custom home sits on heavily timbered acreage just minutes from Trinidad, tucked into a hillside of mature pines and oak brush with expansive views stretching west to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The setting is quiet, protected from the wind, and feels far removed from town despite being only a short drive away.
The current owner designed and built the home with long-term durability and efficiency in mind, incorporating substantial concrete construction, quality materials, and thoughtful design elements throughout. Every room was positioned to take advantage of the surrounding landscape, bringing natural light and mountain views into the living spaces without sacrificing privacy.
The main living area is open and inviting, centered around large windows that frame the valley below and the mountain range beyond. Alder cabinetry and woodwork complement the tile flooring, while the home's layout creates a natural flow between gathering spaces, private bedrooms, and outdoor living areas. A spacious primary suite includes a massive walk-in closet, soaking tub, and oversized tile shower.
Downstairs, the walkout basement offers additional room for family and guests with a bedroom, Murphy bed area, wet bar, recreation space, laundry area, and direct access to the outdoors. A custom poured epoxy floor adds both durability and style.
Outside, the improvements are set up well for horse owners. Three fenced pastures provide room for grazing and rotation, while the horse barn includes stalls, tack room, medicine room, storage space, and corrals. The large metal barn offers substantial room for equipment, trailers, hay storage, and projects. Whether you have a few horses or simply appreciate having quality improvements already in place, the infrastructure is ready to go.
The acreage itself is one of the property's strongest attributes. Open grass pastures blend into timbered hillsides, creating excellent habitat for wildlife and an attractive setting for horses. Deer, elk, and turkey are common visitors. Thousands of acres of public land opportunities are located nearby, and the property sits within Colorado GMU 85 for those who enjoy hunting and outdoor recreation.
For someone looking for mountain views, usable horse acreage, exceptional construction quality, and a setting that offers both privacy and convenience, this property checks a lot of boxes that are difficult to find in one place.
