Land

Hidden Aspen Ranch is a place to settle in, take a deep breath, and enjoy the quiet of mountain living. Set on 70 acres among aspens,  firs and evergreens, this 3,491-square-foot Colorado country home offers privacy, beautiful gardens, and sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Spend your mornings walking through the aspen grove and your evenings enjoying the patios, with dining and shopping in historic Westcliffe just 10–15 minutes away. The 70 acres offer a pleasing mix of wooded areas, grazing ground, and open views across the Wet Mountain Valley. From different points on the ranch, you can take in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Pikes Peak, and the town of Westcliffe.
Approximately seven acres are securely fenced for dogs, including a carefully maintained aspen grove where you and your four-legged companions can wander together. The new walkway makes this quiet part of the property even more enjoyable. Listen to the leaves moving in the breeze, find a shaded place to sit, and enjoy having this much room to yourself.
An additional 15–20 acres are fenced for horses or livestock, with remaining acreage offering grazing ground and room to watch wildlife. An appealing site east of the home offers a potential location for an additional building, subject to applicable approvals.
 

Improvements

This architecturally designed home has three spacious bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a home office. The great room is the heart of the home, with 20-foot vaulted ceilings and a substantial Colorado moss rock fireplace with a wood-burning insert. Oversized windows and French doors bring the gardens and trees into view, giving each room its own connection to the outdoors.
The kitchen features cherry cabinets, granite countertops and backsplash, a Wolf gas cooktop, and a new dishwasher. Twenty-three new Champion windows with blinds, including some remote-controlled options, have been installed throughout the home. Additional improvements include updated faucets, a new gutter system, new crawl-space insulation, and a new boiler serving four zones of in-floor heat. Sirius Radio wiring runs throughout the home, and the attic above the garage provides generous storage. This house also has a newly installed whole-house generator.
Outside, natural stone patios on the east and west sides offer comfortable places to enjoy sunshine, shade, and secluded garden views. A new stamped concrete walkway leads through the yard and down into the manicured aspen grove. The newly stained and stamped back deck, complete with a grand stairway, adds another inviting outdoor gathering space. Beautifully landscaped gardens and colorful flowers surround the home, reflecting the care given to this special property.
A detached, heated and insulated 20-by-30-foot building provides room for hobbies, projects, or storage and a detached 10-by-20 storage shed. An alarm system and a solar-powered, remote-controlled entrance gate are installed, along with DirecTV and Hilltop dishes.
