542 Cottonwood Creek Rd Crestone, CO 81131

Unique opportunity to have your own secluded 6 acre slice of Cottonwood Creek. Located in The Grants subdivision of Crestone Colorado, this home is ideally situated on the land, with a winding driveway that takes you through the cottonwood forest, and with the creek separating you from your nearest neighbor. The 2080 square foot house is a lovingly cared-for strawbale and frame home, and a turn-key off-grid dream, with a dependable and updated photovoltaic system. With enough solar panels and battery bank storage to easily handle the household demand, a propane radiant floor system, a large wood stove, and a brand new on-demand hot water heater, this home is the perfect place to cozy up and hide from the world.
The main floor and entrance opens into a large sun drenched and recently updated kitchen, dining area with a large island. The large south-facing windows of the kitchen are the perfect place for indoor plants, or a sunny morning sitting area, with amazing views of the mountains. Beyond that is the showpiece of the house, the round timber-framed living room, capped with a skylight, so you can sit in front of the wood stove and gaze at the stars above. Also on the main floor is a bedroom and a bathroom with a deep soak tub and south facing windows. Climb the stairs to the master suite, the warmest, coziest spot in the house. With south facing windows to capture the sun, and spectacular second-story eastern views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range, and it's own little half bath, you will never want to leave your nest.
The park-like property has been well cared for, with the underbrush cleared and thoughtful landscaping. The fenced in back yard and patio, with an actual lawn, and framed views of the mountains is the perfect place for summer evening grilling, and watching the sunset reflected on the peaks of the Sangres. Lot 543, the lot directly to the south is also included, but they are not consolidated. Could be consolidated, sold, or built on.
