475 Thistle Dr, Montrose, CO 81403

The address may say Montrose, but this is Ouray County at its best. A charming, inviting home nestled at the end of a private road behind a security gate. 35.5 fully fenced acres of pasture for the horses, stands of Pinion and Ponderosa, a beautiful garden and sweeping views of both the Cimarrons and San Juans. The acreage backs up to BLM land on its northwest corner. Absolutely private and protected! The main house features a kitchen equipped with all the necessities and a center island which is the gathering place for friends and family. It has an adjoining sitting area/ nook and a bay window overlooking the view. The formal dining room is close by and easily accessed for entertaining from the kitchen and living room. The fireplace in the living room has an insert but can be quickly changed back to wood burning if you prefer. The view of the mountains from these key rooms is spectacular. There are two bedrooms and a bath down as well as a very large laundry room with a laundry chute from the Master Bedroom. Also downstairs is a great craft/sewing room off the laundry. An oversized two car garage is conveniently close to the kitchen. The master suite is on the second level and offers an absolutely spectacular view to wake up to every morning. The Master Bath has just been redone with granite counters and brand new tiled shower. And the closet is huge! Off the Master Suite you will also find the home office with beautiful views of the grounds. The house is kept warm and toasty in the winter and cool in the summer but it's unique Mini-Split heating/AC system. And it doesnt stop there. There is an A Frame Caretakers Cottage for guests or a caretaker. One bedroom, kitchen, 1 baths and a very large great room with a wood burning fireplace. The view from the bedroom deck is remarkable. For the handyman, the heated shop is perfect. For the equestrian there is a barn, paddock, multiple fenced pastures and a three stall pole barn for all the stuff. Rid
