21303 Hwy 96

I was built in 1971 on 1.44 acres that back right up to the wild beauty of the San Isabel National Forest. Four bedrooms, two baths, and 1,728 square feet of pure Colorado character run through my walls. Inside, I’ve got a cozy parlor, a living room, and a generous family room — each with its own wood or pellet stove that keeps my heart warm through every mountain season. My bones are rustic, my spaces welcoming, and my story still unfolding. You’ll find comfort here year-round with evaporative cooling and a brand-new septic system, but it’s what waits outside that makes me unforgettable. There’s an old-fashioned root cellar perfect for garden harvests or a stash of homemade wine, a tidy chicken coop ready for fresh eggs, a sturdy woodshed for the stoves, and even a tree house nestled high among the pines — a quiet hideaway for dreamers of any age. Maybe you’ll turn me into a hobby farm, a mountain retreat, or the full-time homestead you’ve always imagined. I’m ready for it all. My detached three-car garage has room for vehicles, gear, or a workshop waiting to take shape. And with the National Forest at my back, adventure starts the moment you step outside — hiking, watching wildlife, or simply listening to the wind in the trees. I sit just off Highway 96, peaceful yet easy to reach in every season. If you’ve been looking for a home that still carries the soul of old Colorado, I’m here — rooted, welcoming, and waiting to share the view. In addition, my location makes it easy to reach either Canon City or Westcliffe, both a mere 30 minutes away, where you will find access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and plenty of restaurants.
