502 Ludwig, Bayfield, CO 81122 - For Sale

Light and bright, with artistic character! This tidy, two-story passive-solar home in Pine River Ranches has a bit of everything for great rural living. The 1812-square-foot 3BR/2BA floor plan is super-efficient, with a large tiled sun room for solar gain in winter and a vaulted ceiling with large clerestory windows to illuminate both levels. 1 bedroom with renovated bath is on the upper level, and two bedrooms and a full bath are on the main level. With beautiful tongue-and-groove wood throughout, this home has been recently and lovingly updated with refinished oak hardwood floors, new wool carpet, fresh paint inside and out, plus granite countertops and new sinks in the kitchen and both bathrooms and lots of other upgrades, major and minor. There is a detached 2-car garage with enclosed workshop, a three-stall barn, a storage shed and a wood shed. (Note: the portable shed and hobby greenhouse are excluded). Enjoy the quiet and open spaces from the large back deck. The property is a lush 2.8 acres, dotted with mature aspen, cottonwood and pines, steps away from the Pine River. For the modern homesteader: chicken coop with new roof and fenced yard; large fenced organic garden; established dwarf fruit trees (apple, cherry, plum); established comfrey patch for liquid fertilizer; and compost area. It also has Pine River irrigation water rights for the entire 2.8 acres. The barn and pasture would be great for a couple of horses or livestock. This wonderful south-facing location, with water and fertile soil, makes this a desirable little oasis. The subdivision cares for the main roads and has a common area with a pond and Pine River access for fishing and fun!
