This is an incredible opportunity to own Arkansas River frontage that is right outside your back door. This unique property is a gem on the river and situated in a stunning setting. It includes over an acre of high-desert natural landscaping which enhances the stunning views of the Collegiate and Buffalo Peak Mountains easily seen from the house. Cottonwood, ponderosa and pinon trees provide privacy on the property. Private river frontage ownership means you have exclusive rights to the river which is accessible by a short easy trail that leads from the back deck to the river. You can fish, relax or launch a kayak from your own property. Enjoy the view from the in-deck Beachcomber hot tub.
The house is built to be low-maintenance and includes stucco exterior and a metal roof; the composite decks with metal railings never need to be stained and are strong and durable. The kitchen/living room are an open-space concept with custom built cherry wood cabinets and floors and Silestone quartz counters. There is a sunroom that provides solar-envelope heating and a Hearthstone wood burning fireplace. This augments the clean and efficient hot water baseboard heating system. The sounds of the river at night will lull you to sleep and the master bedroom and living room each have a private entrance to the back deck and hot tub. On the property is a two car drywalled garage which has a small heated bonus room that could be used as an office or studio and a lovely custom built bathroom with walk-in shower. Another small heated and drywalled building (casita) is on the property. This 2 bedroom/2 bath property has been used as a successful vacation rental for 13 years. Located 1.5 miles from town the property is close to all outdoor activities for all seasons like mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snow shoeing and fishing in the Gold Medal Arkansas River at your doorstep. Furnishings are negotiable.
