Property Description

Discover a rare mountain retreat in Wetmore, Colorado, where privacy and natural beauty span 35 secluded acres. This two-story mountain-style home offers 2,338 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Built in 2002, the home features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, ideal for everyday living or entertaining.
The primary suite opens to an elevated wrap-around deck with sweeping views of the Wet Mountains. Inside, a wood-burning stove anchors the living room, creating a warm, inviting cabin feel perfect for quiet evenings or hosting guests.
The partially fenced, forested acreage offers endless outdoor enjoyment, from relaxing on the covered patio to exploring your private shooting range and orchard. Nearby BLM land provides excellent hiking, hunting, and wildlife viewing amid dramatic canyons and rock outcroppings. Additional features include a detached heated entertainment building with electricity and plumbing, plus a renovated playhouse for storage, hobbies, or family fun.
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home includes an island kitchen with high-performance appliances, radiant in-floor heating, solar power, and a 17KW backup generator.
