New listing tucked into the quiet of Chalet II in Baca Grande, Crestone, Colorado.
Dwarf alpine forest, big sky, and the kind of quiet you only get at 8,000 feet in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristos. This one sits on its own cul-de-sac, wrapped in trees, with birdsong and wind in the pines for company.
The home itself is small in footprint and big on thoughtfulness: 925 square feet, built in 2021 with structurally insulated panels, it holds heat well and uses little energy doing it. Polished concrete floors carry radiant heat, and big windows let the winter sun do a lot of the work. Walk in through a cozy foyer with a coat closet, and the open living and dining space opens up in front of you, sliding glass doors framing the forest outside.
The kitchen is sleek and ready for real cooking, with stainless appliances and an electric cooktop. Down the hall, a guest bedroom with big windows and its own three quarter bath, then a full laundry room with room to fold and store. The primary bedroom is light filled, with a walk-in closet and a deep soaking tub to end the day in.
Out back, a newly finished 312 square foot building adds a heated office or bonus room plus storage, and a two person hot tub comes with the sale, perfect for soaking under some of the darkest, clearest skies you'll find anywhere. The home already carries a current Air B and B license with the county and POA, and has done well as a short term rental.
2 bed, 2 bath, $349,000, in a golf course community with tennis courts and trails close by. Come see it in person, or take the 3D tour first.
