Come live the quintessential Colorado life-style in this darling remodeled cabin-style home in beautiful Ridgway, the Gateway to the San Juan Mountains. Located in the desirable subdivision of Dallas Meadows just 3 miles north of Ridgway, it sits on 2.79 acres and adjoins the Uncompahgre River to the east for your own private fishing spot. The views of the Cimarron Mountains to the East and the Mt. Sneffels Range to the south from the upstairs balcony are awe-inspiring and every-changing from dawn's early light to the evening's alpenglow. Originally a cozy, one-bedroom home above the garage, it was remodeled in 2006 to include complete separate living quarters downstairs with its own kitchen, bedroom suite, inviting front entry foyer and handy mudroom into the added-on over-sized 2-car garage plus workshop. Both living areas include efficient free-standing wood burning stoves that provide great ambiance along with the warmth of the fire's glow. The upstairs great room makes for a wonderful family or game and party room with access through French doors to the newly refinished, south-facing balcony with trex decking and fabulous views. The kitchen area now serves as an office but could easily be restored to a functioning kitchen or used/converted to a 3rd bedroom. The upstairs great room can also be used as a spacious loft master bedroom, or just keep it as is, officially a 2-bedroom, 2 separate living quarters for multi-family use. The rustic, western finishes and touches abound in this home, including the exterior chinked cedar siding and the interior wide plank pinewood flooring downstairs and light pine and blue pine tongue and groove wall paneling throughout. There is nothing rustic or old, however, with the newer downstairs kitchen with its upscale appliances and working space for the gourmet chef. The woodworker or hobbiest will truly enjoy the attached workshop off the garage with entry doors on all sides. You can bring the horses, too, where they will enjoy life in a huge corral made of post and rail fencing, which carries on around the perimeter of the upper half of this parcel. There is irrigation water for the livestock and to maintain the pasture and lovely landscaping around the house. The house sits alongside the escarpment that divides the lot, which has a gradual slope down to the lower section of the parcel that adjoins the river. Almost completely cleared, this area would be perfect for a gazebo, picnic area, or just a private get-away where you can listen to the gentle murmur of the river or watch the occasional kayak row by. Whether you are looking for a permanent or seasonal residence, a vacation home, investment rental, single family, multi-family or multi-generational home in one of the most beautiful places on earth, this unique and rare gem of a property offers it all.
