This rare property has been lovingly owned by the same family for over 100 years, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and bring a piece of history back to life. Located on a spacious 1.1-acre lot, this timeless farmhouse features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a detached two-car garage, all on a single level. Additionally, the property features an additional remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom mobile home, which was updated in 2020. Whether you use it like the current owners as an income-producing rental unit, or a guesthouse or an office space, it offers flexibility and added value to this already remarkable property. The main house, built in 1907, exudes the rare charm and character that is often hard to find in modern properties, let alone in the mountains of Colorado! It’s a perfect canvas for someone looking to remodel and restore a true farmhouse gem.
The picturesque lot is as captivating as the house itself, boasting absolutely stunning views of Mount Princeton. A seasonal irrigation ditch known as the Prison Ditch runs through the property, providing the soothing sound of running water in the spring and summer months. Old, mature trees provide shade and beauty, while lush grass, fruit trees, and colorful flowers create a tranquil, park-like setting. In the backyard, a charming gazebo invites you to relax, watch the sunset, or host special events in a serene and picturesque environment.
Conveniently located just outside of Buena Vista’s town limits, this property offers the best of both worlds—peace and privacy with easy access to the amenities of town.

Just a mile from downtown Buena Vista, you can easily walk or bike to the farmer’s market, local coffee shops, restaurants, the Arkansas River, pickleball and tennis courts, and mountain bike trails, making this an ideal spot for enjoying the vibrant mountain town lifestyle that Buena Vista is known for.
