Thoughtfully designed mountain home with expansive views over Rico and the San Juans. The floorplan is straightforward and flexible: use it as a primary residence, second home, or pursue short-term rental income (buyer to verify town STR rules). A lower-level bedroom with a full bath can be locked off for guests, a caretaker, or rental. The main level has a vaulted great room with a wood stove and large windows that frame town-and-mountain sightlines. The kitchen is built to work: stainless appliances including a new six-burner range/oven, roughly 17 feet of concrete counter, bar seating, and direct access to a patio for grilling and cool evening air. The great room opens to a brand-new deck with big views of Rico and the surrounding mountains. The primary suite is on the main living level for no-stairs convenience—full bath with soaking tub and oversized shower, plus a walk-in closet sized for real storage. An upstairs loft offers a second living area—media, office, or play space. A guest suite on this floor has its own bath, sitting room, and access to a rear deck. The lower level offers a lock-off/ non-confirming third bedroom with an adjacent full bath; it could be configured as a private guest room, rental, or caretaker's residence—the wooded setting, with mountain exposure and a seasonal spring on the property. The location is the value add: real small-town services and trail/river access, with Telluride’s lifts, festivals, and dining about 45 minutes up CO-145. Regional airports at Montrose and Cortez expand travel options; high-speed internet supports remote work.
