Description
Two homes. Forty-three acres. Endless possibilities. Welcome to Windflower Ranch & Retreat--a truly turnkey 43-acre Colorado ranchette featuring two separate, beautifully remodeled residences on desirable Fruitland Mesa in Crawford, Colorado. -- With two separate residences, sweeping mountain views, irrigated acreage, equestrian amenities, mature gardens and fruit trees, ponds, and direct access to adjacent BLM land, this property offers an extraordinary combination of beauty, flexibility, and opportunity. Whether you envision a multigenerational family compound, a private home for an adult child or parent, two separate residences for a couple, an income-producing guest home, a retreat property, or a place to live while building your future dream home, Windflower Ranch & Retreat offers possibilities rarely found in one property. The beautifully remodeled 828-square-foot main residence features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in a warm, inviting open-concept design. Soaring ceilings, a stunning hand-hewn log beam, farmhouse sink, shaker-style cabinetry, kitchen island, newer appliances, custom insulated blinds, water softener, and abundant natural light create a comfortable and thoughtfully designed home. A wraparound deck and covered porch extend the living space outdoors, where mornings begin with coffee and wildlife viewing and evenings end beneath spectacular Colorado sunsets. Privately situated away from the main residence, the charming 800-square-foot guest cottage provides exceptional flexibility. Fully remodeled in 2023, this turnkey home includes a spacious bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, washer and dryer hookups, rustic pine tongue-and-groove interior, soaring ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning stove. Use it for family and guests, a private residence, a studio or workspace, or continue its successful short-term rental use. The 43-acre property is designed for both equestrian living and a self-sufficient rural lifestyle. Features include irrigated pasture with gated pipe, fenced and cross-fenced grazing areas, a 60-foot round pen, 100' x 70' riding arena, hay barn, chicken coop, multiple storage buildings, and a private shooting range. Direct access to adjacent BLM land allows you to ride, hike, hunt, and explore directly from the property. Two picturesque ponds fed by irrigation water attract abundant wildlife and provide peaceful gathering spaces. Overflow from the domestic water tap provides a reliable year-round water source for livestock and wildlife. Mature aspen trees, producing peach, apricot, and pear trees, established perennial gardens, and native pinon-juniper forest create privacy, beauty, and a true sense of place. A two-car garage with concrete floor, built-in cabinetry, and power provides additional storage and workspace. Elevate Fiber Optic Internet serves both residences, making remote work and modern connectivity possible without sacrificing the peace and privacy of rural Colorado living. From nearly every vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the West Elk Mountains, The Raggeds, Grand Mesa, and the surrounding valleys of Western Colorado. The landscape is reminiscent of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting--rugged mesas, expansive skies, vibrant sunsets, and a quiet beauty that changes with every season. This is more than a property. It is a place with room for your people, your animals, your dreams, and your next chapter. Live in one home and rent the other. Bring your family closer while preserving privacy. Create a shared family compound. Build your dream home while living comfortably on the property. Establish a retreat, homestead, or private equestrian sanctuary. Windflower Ranch & Retreat is a rare opportunity to create the life you envision in one of Western Colorado's most beautiful settings.
