This private home, within the Warm Springs Ranch gated community, abuts thousands of acres of National Forest and BLM land. You'll be driving up gravel and dirt roads, higher and higher, for about a mile to reach our comfy home at close to10,000 feet in elevation! Experience breathtaking panoramic mountain and valley views while sitting in the comfort of the living/dining/kitchen combo room, or outside on the wrap around deck, or sitting beside the outdoor fire pit. Finish your day of hiking, fishing or skiing with star gazing from this spectacular property. The solitude is soothing - no highway noise, no airport noise, just quiet.
Our home sits on a one acre lot within the Warm Springs Ranch community. Wild game (deer, elk, and moose mostly, but there have also been reports of bear and mountain lion) regularly roam the Ranch and, because there are no fences dividing the properties, sometimes they roam right onto our lot. Be vigilant of your kiddos! There are designated hiking trails within the Ranch, as well as five private fishing ponds stocked with rainbow trout. Bring your rods and reels!
