### Agent Description
Discover a rare mountain retreat in Wetmore, Colorado, offering privacy, beauty, and functionality on 35 secluded acres. This two-story mountain-style home features 2,338 square feet of well-designed living space, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Built in 2002, the home includes 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The primary suite opens to an elevated wrap-around deck with sweeping views of the Wet Mountains. Inside, cozy cabin charm shines with a wood-burning stove in the living room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. Whether hosting guests or enjoying quiet evenings, this home offers a peaceful Colorado mountain lifestyle. The partially fenced, forested acreage provides endless outdoor enjoyment with a covered patio, private, professionally designed shooting range, orchard, RV Hookups and nearby BLM land ideal for hiking, hunting, and wildlife viewing. Dramatic canyons, cliffs, and rock outcroppings surround the property. Additional features include a detached heated entertainment building with electricity and plumbing, plus a renovated playhouse for storage, hobbies, or family fun. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property includes an island kitchen with high-performance appliances, radiant in-floor heating, solar power, and a 17KW backup generator. Just minutes from Westcliffe, enjoy access to medical services, a regional airport, and year-round recreation, with the Great Sand Dunes and Arkansas River nearby-offering the best of Southern Colorado living.
