18085 Rio Hondo Drive, Buena Vista

Come enjoy this quiet, peaceful spot at the base of the Collegiate peaks and a close 10-minute drive to downtown Buena Vista. The adjacent land to the north and west of this home is wildlife-protected open space and half of the lot to the east is included in the sale. Privacy is increased even more by the natural landscape of mature forest pine trees creating a neighbor buffer and the feeling of space. Relax on the back patio and enjoy the babbling sounds of the seasonal Mercury creek, complete with waterfall feature, and the vast views of the valley. Host a gathering on the large, south facing, sunny deck equipped with a connected gas grill. The interior of the home has plenty of space but if you are needing a 4th bedroom, office or guest room the bonus room is large, has a separate gas fireplace, a view of the open space meadow and french doors opening to the outside. There is also an additional workshop off of the bonus room, perfect for tinkering. The primary bedroom has a private en suite with double sinks and a skylight above the shower highlighting views of the tall pines. If you are needing even more space, a downstairs bedroom has two closets and was two rooms at one time. A wall could be added back to create more rooms. Each room has a separate thermostat to increase everyone's comfort. The living room has a classic wood burning fire place, exposed ceiling beams and sliding glass doors to the newly reinforced and repainted front deck. The detached, insulated 2-car garage has an electric car charging port and oversized interior for all of your toys. Enjoy the vast, open, unobstructed views of Mt Princeton and Mt Yale as you drive into the neighborhood. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a place to enjoy the areas recreation opportunities: hiking 14'ers, skiing at Monarch, rafting the Arkansas River or soaking in the local hot springs, this would make a great home base. There is so much to love about this home. Come check it out today.
