Property Description

PASSIVE SOLAR HOME ON 14.5 PRIVATE ACRES (3 parcels) IN THORNAPPLE RIDGE: Located just minutes from Margaretville, on a cul-de-sac road with not another house in sight, this property is a great value for the right buyer. With 2,500+- of living space, the main floor includes cathedralceilings throughout, a large, well appointed chef's kitchen w/extensive wood cabinets, granite counters & stainless steel appliances and could accommodate a large work island or kitchen table--it opens into a sun-drenched living room which features a raised hearth fireplacewith space for ample seating for friends and family as well as a formal dining area. One is drawn to the wall of windows, bringing the outside in, while facing due south to aid in lowering your winter heating bills. The oversized primary bedroom is conveniently located on this level, also with abundant southern facing windows, a walk-in closet and ensuite full bath. Completing this level is an enclosed foyer and a half bath upon entering the house. Moving upstairs, there are two generous bedrooms (with southern facing windows) and another full bath. Down the stairs, and then another level down, there is a bonus room, approximately 800 sq ft, perfect for a den or game room, with sliding glass doors leading to a shaded deck on the eastern side of the house. This level also includes an enclosed utility area with a laundry. I mentioned the three lots. The house sits on an elevated clearing on the first lot, with nice mountain views, a path leads to the next lot which is a meadow that has fabulous panoramic views and a potential pond site at the bottom, and the third lot is wooded with mature hardwoods, and has an entry off Miller Rd which abuts it in the back. State land borders all 3 lots along the back boundaryline. The yard includes a useful garden shed, and a firepit off to the side. Add to this picture, the use of the Thornapple community pool (there are also private trails in Thornapple), the convenience to Margaretville and Andes for restaurants and shopping, skiing at Belleayre, boating and fishing nearby on the Pepacton Reservoir, and the excellent hiking opportunities, and you have the perfect getaway.
