810 Mustang Road

Description

Prominently located on a Colorado mesa overlooking plains and canyons with grand views of Pikes Peak, Greenhorn Mountain, the Spanish Peaks, and the Sangre de Cristos stands a beautiful custom log home, the centerpiece of Mustang Mesa Retreat. Meticulously maintained, the property is set up for complete independence, with grid-tied solar electric power. The current owners have taken a wonderful home and added acreage and other elements to create a self-sufficient property where they can retreat to a quiet, peaceful lifestyle. Yet, Mustang Mesa is only a 10-minute drive to I-25, 25 minutes to Colorado City, and 45 minutes to Pueblo, Colorado. With no mountain passes to navigate, the ranch enjoys year-round accessibility, though, as with most rural properties, all-wheel drive is sometimes necessary.

A geothermally heated greenhouse, backup generator, large workshop/garage, solar and grid power, good water well with storage, rain catchment system, 1,000-gallon propane tank, and plenty of firewood for the two wood-burning stoves ensure your independence. The home comes turnkey, completely furnished, ready to enjoy spectacular mountain sunsets from one of the two covered porches or from the comfort of the large outdoor hot tub while you enjoy your favorite beverage.

Your neighbors consist mainly of the local wildlife. Whether you shoot a gun or camera, expect to see plenty of mule deer, small mammals, soaring eagles, and an occasional bobcat or black bear. The 70± acre property enjoys a variety of terrain, from geode and fossil-producing rock formations to a pinon pine/juniper forest. You definitely want to bring your ATVs, horses, or hiking boots to Mustang Mesa Retreat.
