## Description

### Agent Description
Step into a piece of Western history with this truly unique 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colorado ranch home on 10.7 acres, designed and built as a tribute to legendary Western film icon John Wayne. Inspired by conversations between the home's designer and John Wayne during the 1970s, this remarkable residence was created to reflect the character, warmth, and timeless style associated with Wayne and the American West. Perched above gently sloping, fertile acreage in Colorado's historic Wet Mountain Valley, the home captures spectacular panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The property is horse-ready, featuring approximately 7 fenced acres of pasture along with a 3-stall run-in barn and equipment room-an exceptional setting for horses, livestock, or those seeking the Colorado ranch lifestyle. Designed to recreate the elegance of an 1880s Victorian Western ranch home while offering modern conveniences, the residence is rich with authentic character. Handcrafted woodwork and detailed trim are found throughout, complemented by period antique furnishings, electrified antique-style oil chandeliers and lamps, and an impressive collection of John Wayne memorabilia-all included with the sale. At the heart of the home is a dramatic grand mantled fireplace, flanked by soaring, ceiling-height bookcases that create a stately focal point in the main living area. A unique multi-directional main-level floor plan provides convenient access throughout the home, while the banquet-sized dining room showcases breathtaking mountain views and provides an unforgettable setting for entertaining. The home's decor evokes the atmosphere of John Wayne's classic later Western ranch films, creating a property unlike anything else on the market. From the historic-inspired architecture and furnishings to the horse acreage and commanding Sangre de Cristo Mountain views, every element celebrates the spirit of the Old West.
