Rustler's Rooste. Envision your dream Colorado hideaway, skillfully crafted with massive amounts of John Wayne swagger plus Cowboys and Indians sophistication. Tucked away inside one of the areas most sought after subdivisions, appropriately called Colorado Timber Ridge Ranch, this rugged beauty is the ideal place to launch your best days and most prized memories. A paved road will wind up to the home where you'll be greeted with a hearty two story log and stone covered entry. You'll be smitten with it's stunningly rugged personality and presence. Dwell for a moment outside and listen to the wind in the trees. Kick off your boots at the door and walk in, discovering the warmth that only miles of warm, handcrafted wood beams, native rock and glass can create. Step into the great room and you'll be smitten with the dynamic sense of exposed log beams towering high over the cavernous great room. Before you look around you'll be drawn to the backdrop of the room, which are floor to ceiling windows facing countless tall pine treetops, miles of magnificent valley and meadows below and then the breathtaking panorama of the area's most stunning peaks to the east. Because of the slight hillside topography of the build, you'll feel as though you're in a tree house. Yes, the back deck beckons and a beautiful 12X18 covered structure has been added to expand the entertaining space of the home. Absolutely alluring. The deck spans the entire back side of the home. Now, back inside. A main focal point of the great room is the rock fireplace, distinctive hardwood flooring and the exceptionally inviting character of every inch. The miles of finished wood beam structural supports, artistic timber frame mastery and hand-hewn craftsmanship display the incredible attention to artistry-in-execution the home deserves. It continues through every delicious corner of the home and the feeling it instills is unmistakable. This is THE most tantalizing four-season nest. Pace yourself to actively look for all of the special features and upgrades in this home. The open loft above the living room is incredible. The spacious kitchen, high ceilings, open island and octagonal dining space flow effortlessly into the great room. Entertain dozens of your favorite peeps here and overflow to the deck, open loft above and the attached three car garage. Save the downstairs family room for the littles, guests or that private office/getaway. Wander into the master bedroom and bath to appreciate more timber frame goodness with extraordinary wood craftsmanship, a delightful fireplace, private deck exit and top-tier master bath. Super cozy. Upstairs you'll find added space for friends, family and associates with en suite baths, open loft with more treetop and San Juan Mountain views and woodsy goodness. The lower level of the home also has a bedroom and "opportunity space" off the family room, which is currently used as a bonus storage room. Did I mention the bright and spacious laundry room, between the kitchen and garage? How about the beautiful color palette, slab granite, custom tile, soaking tubs, private lower level access, beautiful landscaping, paved driveway, freshly sealed exterior wood substrates, nearly new roofing plus one of the coolest "three show-car plus lift" garages you can imagine? Wow, the details and premium finishes are endless.
