Oh My! It was built to be the showplace of the area. A two story English Tudor style on 20+ acres irrigated by Crawford Clipper Ditch Water that is pumped to sprinklers and water guns from the 1/2 acre pond on the property. five bedrooms (with a 3 room master suite) three full bathrooms and a powder room. The current owners' parents lived there since 1989 without changing a thing, so it needs extensive modernization but structurally its sound and the room configuration isn't bad. 3 fireplaces, large kitchen, den with a bar, sun porch in the rear and all the bedrooms are upstairs. Natural gas, hot water heat, attached 3 car garage, asphalt driveway and extensive landscaping (that wants someone to love it like it has been in the past) The grounds have sprinklers that irrigate the landscaping and the yards and water cannons that irrigate the pastures. There's a fenced tennis court that needs work but definitely a great feature, and there's a detached 3 bay shop/garage by the house and a barn with another shop attached on the west end of the property. The pond is so inviting and the West Elk Mountains are so close, you'll feel like you can touch them. Everyone loves it as they drive by, in addition, the property has recreation rights to the 20 acre Baxter Reservoir that adjoins the property to the south, where at one time a Colorado State Record smallmouth bass was caught. The property is set up for livestock, but can be a truck farm, bed and breakfast or Inn. 23 1/3 shares of Clipper Ditch plus three domestic water taps should someone want to build more homes or subdivide. It's located on a knoll far enough off the highway that the noise is minimal. It's not a fixer-upper, but is waiting for the new owner who wants to bring it up to date so once again it will be the showplace between Hotchkiss and Crawford. When you come bring your sketch pad and notebook because you'll be making notes on what you want do with this property!
