Tucked away at the very end of a long private drive on a dead-end road on sought-after Garvin Mesa, this property is a true hidden gem. Bordering miles of expansive BLM land, it's your personal gateway to scenic trails, untouched wilderness, and breathtaking views across the North Fork Valley. The serene Terror Creek Ditch borders the property and includes 3 shares in the Terror Creek Ditch and Reservoir Company, crossed by charming bridges that effortlessly connect you to the vast public lands beyond. Despite its tranquil, secluded feel, this property is conveniently just minutes from downtown Paonia. Formerly a thriving horse property, it retains its charm with a sturdy 4-stall barn, gently rolling upper and lower pastures dotted with native trees and shrubs, and a spacious pole barn perfect for vehicles or RV storage. The home is cleverly designed with passive solar architecture, featuring clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light and help regulate indoor temperatures with excellent air circulation. Recently updated with contemporary amenities, the home's unique character has been reimagined with a rustic-modern design. Inside, the inviting open floor plan offers two modest bedrooms and bathrooms, and a versatile loft ideal as an office, guest retreat, or creative hideaway. Both the primary suite and the main living area open onto a massive deck, showcasing epic mountain views. Downstairs, a sunlit greenhouse room with built-in garden beds and a separate entrance provides an inviting space for gardening, relaxation, or creative projects. The real magic lies in the land itself—offering unmatched privacy, abundant open space, and immediate access to nature. Whether envisioning your perfect year-round home, a serene getaway, or an exciting new project, this property provides an exceptional setting to make your dreams a reality. Furnishings may be negotiated with the sale.
