We're back! Welcome to your mountain retreat, complete with private fishing, hiking trails and close proximity to Buena Vista and Breckenridge. This 1-acre lot is beautiful blanketed in snow and comes to life in summer, with lush aspens, grassy knolls and a fire pit. Warm Springs Ranch is a private, gated neighborhood that sits on a warm spring, and the upper pond is warm to the touch. Five ponds line the backside of the ranch with a larger one in the center that overlooks the protected wetlands. Forest Service lands encircle the ranch with BLM lands to the east, traversed by elk and antelope herds. A community center is home to the annual BBQ, potlucks, parties and Pickle Ball courts. Or if skiing, golf and resorts are more your thing, hop a free bus to Summit County in Fairplay, or Bustang will get you to the hot springs and river rafting in Buena Vista. This inviting home features wood floors, big windows, a pot belly wood stove and thoughtful layout with the primary en-suite bedroom on one end of the home with outdoor access, with the second bedroom also on the main level. An upper en-suite bedroom features a walk-out deck. The kitchen features slate floors, simple appliances and big windows. A side breakfast nook provides ample space for entertaining. The open floor plan extends into a warm and welcoming living room. An attached, heated, 200 sq.ft. office/storage/workshop/craft space has a sink and a separate entrance. Outside, the stained concrete patio is perfect for summer gatherings. A heated workshop/garage holds all the toys and projects. This gated neighborhood sits on a community well where water quality is regulated by the State. Water quality results are published on the website. Nominal dues include water usage, trash, the community center, road maintenance, and stocking the ponds. Short-Term Rentals are permitted. If you've been dreaming of a simpler life in the mountains, this is your opportunity.
