Description
Discover your own personal paradise at Stonehouse Vineyard in Southwest Colorado! The beautiful main stone house, built in 1899, has been lovingly updated and maintained over the years and is surrounded by large, lush cottonwood trees. As you walk over the bridge to the covered porch and elegant flagstone patio overlooking the 3-acre vineyard, you'll feel as if you've been transported to Southern France. Sitting on nearly 58 acres with 1.525 CFS (122 shares) of irrigation water, this property offers endless possibilities. You can continue nurturing the gorgeous landscaping and flower beds surrounding the home, expand and care for the current vineyard, or grow crops or hay in the multiple hay fields, supported by a convenient side roll irrigation and drip irrigation systems. Various fruit trees, including apple, pear, peach, cherry, and plum, can also be found around the property. The vineyard produces several grape varieties, including Baco Noir, Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, and Traminette. Plus, all the winemaking equipment you'll need to create your own wine is included and stored in the barn or you can also choose to sell your grapes to one of the local wineries or embark on a wine collaboration project. Inside the main stone house, the warm living-dining-kitchen area wraps around the original stone fireplace. The laundry room, a full guest bathroom, and a utility room are located on the main level. Upstairs, you will find a guest bedroom, as well as the primary bedroom and a private bathroom. The large primary bedroom features a romantic balcony overlooking the vineyard, a perfect spot to enjoy stunning sunsets. The house is serviced by a newer boiler system and a Montezuma County water tap, while the land benefits from extensive water rights. Thanks to its large solar panel array, the home's electric bills remain extremely low, powering not only the home but also the irrigation pump for the vineyard and side rolls. An added bonus to this amazing property is the new yurt, providing guests with their own private area during visits. The large yurt is fully set up for long-term living, complete with a private full bathroom, washer, dryer, spacious living room, kitchen, and dining areas. It currently features a full bed downstairs, a futon couch, and two beds in the upstairs balcony room. Two mini-split heating and cooling systems, along with a wood-burning fireplace, ensure the yurt stays cozy and comfortable throughout the year. McElmo Creek winds through the lower level of the property, creating a lovely lazy river atmosphere and attracting a variety of wildlife. A private, flat, usable area is also located near the creek, suitable for numerous business ventures or for developing a fantastic horse property. Currently, the property is set up as a VRBO and has a successful income history. All furnishings and supplies in both the home and yurt are included, allowing you to start generating income immediately by renting out the main house and yurt, or living in one while renting out the other. This property provides an incredible backdrop for weddings and other events, or it could be transformed into a beautiful bed and breakfast. As one of the first homesteads in the canyon, and with favorable weather conditions typical of horticultural zone 7a, you can create a lush oasis for yourself and your guests to enjoy year after year. The location is ideal for travelers, being just down the road from Sand Canyon--the gateway to Canyons of The Ancients--and a short distance from Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and many other incredible sites nearby. With the small, quaint local airport conveniently located just 5 miles away, travelers can easily come and go. Don't miss your chance to see this one-of-a-kind property with limitless potential!
