Eye Dazzler Ranch is
situated to the north of a
plateau on the highway that
takes people’s breath away
at first sight. It is
located on peaceful rolling
terrain that’s graced with a
most beautiful snapshot of
history and modern bounty. A
century ago, people came
through this land and stayed
a month or a lifetime; to
work a farm or make a
fortune, or perhaps to put
something far behind them.
The 70-acre ranch includes a
dramatic 3144 square foot
stucco home, a 360 square
foot guest house, and a 2578
square foot Old-Colorado
style barn. Architectural
details of the 2 bedroom,
3.5 bath home include arched
doorways, vaulted ceilings,
exposed beams and alder
doors. Stained concrete
heated floors, designer
lighting and warm hues on
hand textured rounded corner
walls compliment the casual
milieu of both the main
house and the guest house.
Outdoor living spaces
surround the main home with
covered patio areas perfect
for 6 o’clock cocktails or
dining by a kiva fireplace.
The focal point of the
vaulted living area is a
large wood burning fireplace
completed by panoramic views
of the Sangre de Cristo
mountain range and western
horizon. European cabinetry
and amenities are featured
in the marvelous, custom
kitchen. Appliances include
a Wolf stove, Sub-Zero
refrigerator, an Asko
dishwasher and trash
compactor.
The master suite includes a
private enclosed patio and
master bath. A spacious,
honey-colored onyx tiled
steam shower includes body
sprays, two shower heads and
an onyx bench seat. This
lovely walk-in shower
separates His and Her copper
sinks, a dressing area and a
very large walk-in closet
complete this perfect master.
The cozy library is warmed
by a corner kiva-style gas
fireplace and features a
surround sound stereo
system. A second bedroom or
office with a private patio
and 3/4 bath is comfortably
and privately located down
the gallery.
The guest house, or casita,
is accessed by a covered
patio. This private guest
house boasts the same
quality and design as the
main home with native pine
beams, stained concrete
flooring, custom tile, and
designer accents. The
kitchenette is equipped with
a wet bar, tiled
countertops, custom
cabinetry, and appliances.
The 908 square foot garage
is accessed from the laundry
room area of the main home.
A surprisingly spacious 566
square foot room and private
bath are located above the
garage. This room is
perfect for a hobbyist,
artist, office work, or
a “little wrangler”. The
laundry room below includes
abundant countertops, a
small refrigerator, a stone
utility sink, and a hidden
ironing board. Details and
décor were not forgotten in
this room, it’s painted with
the same warm hues as the
main living areas.
The hand-hewn post and beam
3072 square foot barn is
truly the most beautiful
barn in the county. It
stands to the west of the
home and is designed in true
Old Colorado style with a
rusted steel roof. The barn
houses a ½ bath,
kitchenette, heated office,
telephone, high speed
internet and satellite TV
service, a 1024 SF hay loft
hayloft, five 16’ box
stalls, a washing stall and
medicine room, two loafing
sheds, and 6’ no climb
fencing. Eye Dazzler Ranch
is zoned both commercial and
residential. There are no
covenants on the property.
Access to the practically
invisible highway is just
minutes from the home, and
it is a convenient 10 minute
drive to the town of
Westcliffe.
Eye Dazzler Ranch offers a
piece of Colorado serenity
that is hard to compare with
any other part of the West
Mountain Valley. This is a
city dweller’s paradise and
mountain retreat, and it’s
offered at an outstanding
real estate value of:
$1,095,000 |
