Once in a lifetime opportunity to own the historic Hopkin's house, the first home built in the area just outside the town limits of Crestone. Situated on .9 acre, with huge front and rear yards, expansive gardens and multiple 100+year old fruiting trees, the property sits less than 250 feet away from Crestone Creek. The original parts of the home date to the 1860's, with significant expansion in the turn of the century. Known as a community gathering place, a blacksmith shop, and a boarding house for miners, this home is a time capsule of life in an era gone by. Spacious rooms with original pine floors and plastered walls throughout the home make it quite versatile. The oldest portion of the house includes a full bath and rough-in electric sauna, which opens up into the laundry area and large kitchen. The primary bedroom on the second floor includes a generous balcony overlooking the creek and back yard. A spacious screened in porch overlooks the exterior gardens, where you can wonder through the 8' tall lilac bushes between buildings. The property includes many functional outbuildings, including a two car garage, a sizable workshop attached to a carport, and a chicken coop. Electrical and water hookups exist on the former site of a mobile home, which could easily be used as a RV site. Beautifully situated within walking distance to the Town of Crestone for all your amenities including groceries, gas, and a hardware store, as well as world class hiking, fishing and hunting, this incredible homesite is a must see.
