As you approach this stunning, professionally restored 19th-Century Farmhouse, you're greeted by a vibrant and mature landscape with meticulously irrigated gardens, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere spread across the 1.37-irrigated acres. Prepare to fall in love with this artfully restored home as it offers 2,569 sqft of living space with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a dramatic blend of rustic charm and contemporary enhancements. The original architecture, from the custom hand-carved millwork, ceiling landscapes, hardwood, and stained-glass in the foyer, serves as a backdrop for the modernized touches and updates throughout. Every space tells a story, from the cozy reading nooks to the sun-drenched pergolas. This property is an elegant and functional living space for the discerning buyer who appreciates a curated aesthetic. Electric service and all wiring have been updated along with plumbing and a freshly serviced and inspected septic system. Storage space is abundant throughout the entirety of the property. The second-floor walk-out balcony offers a spectacular view of the property, horses, gardens, and surrounding mountains. Beyond the charm of the home, you will find a restored log cabin with space for garden tools, supplies, etc. Additionally, six 'industrial grade' steel outbuildings (one built in 2015 by Hershberger Construction) for the professional, handyman, hobbyist, or just an abundance of storage. Three (3) steel portable buildings are approximately 300 sqft each and are complete with locking roll-up doors and ramps. The two large (each 2400+ sqft) steel buildings have approx. 16-foot clear span, fully illuminated and equipped with overhead fans, propane unit heater (Reznor), and comprehensive 110V/220V wiring throughout, along with plumbing for pneumatic services. One of the large buildings (older) was used in the past for steel fabrication and large vehicle service, and is equipped with 2 JIB Cranes. The newest large building (Hershberger Construction) is 10 years old and is amazing. These two large buildings are on sound concrete slabs and contain a separate metered electric service (DMEA) from the home, which provides options. There is approximately 8,000 sq ft under roof on this property! No HOA and no covenants to worry about. The property has domestic water, and the main home can be heated via electric baseboard and/or with the beautiful, unique wood-burning stove centrally located. Looking around the home, you'll find roses, trumpet vines, hummingbirds, Rose of Sharon, table grapes, and two shaded pergolas for your relaxation. The brand-new vegetable/flower garden is automatically irrigated and is wrapped in a 8' high fence with dual gates for a total footprint of 40'x 28'. The automatic RainBird irrigation system for the yard is brand new and professionally installed in 2025. The list could go on and on, but the fact is that this Colonial Farmhouse is more than just a home; it's a sanctuary filled with history, character, functionality, and the ability to meet many different needs. A visit to downtown Montrose is a quick 10-minute trip. Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton, and Telluride are all just a short drive away for world-class skiing and mountain adventures. This is a 'one-of-a-kind property,' and when you see it, you will immediately fall in love with everything it has to offer!
