Description
Set on 35.76 acres in the Elk Ridge subdivision of Alpine Lakes Ranch, this 2,894 square foot mountain home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a comfortable, functional layout designed for year-round living. Built in 1998, the home features vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and an open main living area anchored by a wood stove. The kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, a large island with a cooktop, and ample space for gathering. Additional highlights include a detached oversized 2-car garage, metal roofing, hardwood and tile flooring, and a covered porch and deck that extend the living space outdoors. Utilities include propane forced-air heat, a wood-stove backup, a septic system, and water provided by Alpine Lakes Water Company through a cistern system. Starlink internet is in place. Since ownership, meaningful improvements have been completed: new carpet, updated lighting, fresh interior paint, new toilets, smoke detectors, a new water pump, crawlspace moisture barrier and ventilation corrections, along with extensive fire mitigation and drainage workenhancing both livability and long-term durability. Beyond the home, the land sets this property apart. There’s a certain kind of place you don’t come across often anymorethe kind that feels like Colorado before it was discovered. This property borders the San Juan National Forest, with BLM land stretching beyond it, offering direct access to a vast expanse of wilderness. A trail from the end of the cul-de-sac leads straight into the timber, connecting to an old Forest Service route climbing to the top of Mesa Cortadowhere wide-open views stretch in every direction, and Square Top Mountain stands in the distance. The 35+ acres carries a natural spring, usable ground for horses or recreation, and room to live at your own pace. Hunting is permitted on the property and into the surrounding public lands, with HOA-managed access limited to property owners and their guests. The neighborhood is quiet and well-spaced, with a healthy mix of full-time and part-time residents. Roads are maintained through the winter by the Alpine Lakes Ranch POA, and a designated emergency access route provides an additional layer of security and connectivity. This is a place to slow down, spread out, and stay awhile. Not a resort. Not a subdivision feel. It's natural expansive land, forest, and a home that fits right into it.
