Serene, quiet, secluded, and tucked away, yet only 1.5 miles from downtown Hotchkiss. This essentially new home is bright and sunny with open views to mountains, farm fields, and uncrowded open space.The large multi use room would make an ideal art, photo, or music studio, and features commercial grade carpeting, large windows, and a divided office and storage space at hand. Upstairs in the main living area, the flooring is vinyl planking, there's a modern kitchen and bathroom, and a generously sized bedroom. The North Fork breezes that blow down valley waft through one of three bedroom windows keeping nights cool. The building structure is a modified ‘post and beam’ construction, that features 7-inch thick walls with metal siding. All walls are a combination of closed foam and fiberglass batting insulation. Ceilings are blown in cellulose over the upper kitchen/bedroom space, and fiberglass batting over the larger lower room. This home is easy to heat in winter, and stays wonderfully cool by summer. Water is from a shared well, and the septic system was newly engineered and installed only two years ago. Irrigation water is plentiful, fed by a pressurized 8” line, and 2” tap that feeds into a 1 ½ HP pump. There is a 12 x 16 shed built and installed by Overholt Sheds in Delta. The garden has produced plentiful tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables. There are 10 newly planted trees near the house, including cottonwood, weeping willow, and globe willow. The front and side yards are planted with alfalfa and clover. Wildlife is abundant in the area, with lots of deer, turkey, birds, and more. There is an additional 27 acres which is co-owned by each property owner, and features several hundred feet of river frontage along the North Fork of the Gunnison river. This is the quiet country living you've been looking for.
