Just remodeled to include a new metal roof, Anderson windows, new luxury vinyl wood flooring, fresh carpet, fresh paint, stained siding, and a fresh new hot tub. This custom built home, thoughtfully crafted, constructed with quality and longevity in mind, offers timeless curb appeal and beauty in the stunning garden setting. Featuring a well-designed floor plan, at the heart of the main level, a stunning flagstone fireplace anchors the generous living room, setting a warm and inviting tone. Tucked privately to one side of the home, the main-level primary suite offers flexibility as a luxurious owner's retreat or in-law suite. It’s complemented by an adjacent space that can serve as an office, cozy reading room, or second living area, sharing the ambiance of the central fireplace. The kitchen includes a charming breakfast nook, perfect for quiet mornings listening to birdsong or watching the mallards meander through the ditch. A formal dining room opens to the back patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining or enjoying tranquil evenings.

Oversized barn is ready to bring your vision to life—whether it’s a hobbyist work space, housing for 4-H animals, a mechanic’s haven, storage for your toys, or a wood workers creation space. It features custom wood siding in warm natural tones, accented by striking red-trimmed windows that add charm and character. A dedicated space offers the perfect setup for a workshop, while the attached covered back patio provides ample parking for lawn equipment, tools, and more. Thoughtfully designed and full of potential, this barn is both functional and visually stunning. Quite possibly the prettiest yard in the Valley, this vibrant space is a gardener’s dream, featuring a diverse orchard with seven cherry trees (Royal Ann and Bing), a plum tree, pear tree, pie cherry, three apricot trees, two peach trees, five apple trees, and a thriving raspberry patch. Well-maintained garden beds provide ample space for seasonal vegetables or flowers. Framing the space with a burst of patriotic color, red, white, and blue blooms are complemented by a fragrant wall of honeysuckle, lilac, and bridal veil plants—creating both beauty and privacy in this picturesque outdoor setting. This Animas Valley home is like the secret garden, ready for a new owner to create and enjoy.
