This home makes you relax and feel connected to the surrounding nature the moment you arrive. Tucked into a private canyon, twelve minutes from the town of Lyons, Spring Gulch Ranch is where the noise of the world stops and something quieter takes over. Nearly 15 acres of wooded trails and rock outcrops, with open skies surround you on all sides. A beautiful cabin awaits you or your guests. Extraordinary views from every room bring the breathtaking beauty of the mountains into everyday living in a house worthy of its setting. A spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and wall of South windows brings natural light and passive heat in the winter. A Fischer wood stove adds heat and ambiance. The newly remodeled kitchen has gorgeous high end quartzite countertops, a large island, stainless appliances including an induction stove, double oven & modern floor tile. The master suite has a newly remodeled 5 piece bath with marble and quartzite, a soaking tub, and huge attached walk-in closet. This Green Home utilizes 31 (owned) solar roof panels, electric boiler heat, on-demand electric hot water and added attic insulation bringing you low energy bills and carbon footprint. A well and extra 4800 gallon cistern take care of your water needs, and the lovingly developed flower gardens have a sprinkler system and several raised garden beds. An oversized 2 car garage has lots of cabinets and work table with an attached carport for a 3rd vehicle and several storage sheds outside.
