Set against the backdrop of the San Juan Mountains and situated on 5.11 acres between South Fork and Del Norte, this Southwest-style hacienda offers character, acreage, views, and tremendous potential for the right buyer willing to bring vision and elbow grease. This unique property captures distant views of the Rio Grande River, mountain vistas, and the peaceful lifestyle Southern Colorado is known for. The parcel runs parallel with County Road 15, with level ground on the western portion of the property where the barn and corral are located, while the home sits on the elevated eastern side of the land. A circular driveway provides easy year-round access. Inside, the home is filled with authentic Southwestern charm. Custom tile floors with stamped buffalo details, reclaimed wood beams from a historic Creede mine, and expansive south-facing windows create warmth, character, and natural light throughout the main living spaces. Outdoor living areas include an east-facing deck, covered rear porch, and multiple patio spaces positioned to capture both sunrise and sunset views. The floor plan offers flexibility with a private-entry office or potential third bedroom featuring its own 3/4 bath, while the walk-out lower level includes two private bedroom suites, spacious living/sunroom area with fireplace, walk-in closets, and laundry room. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the existing barn and corral setup, while investors or creative buyers may see future potential for workshop space, guest quarters, or hobby use. This property does require repair, updating, cleanup, and deferred maintenance work, and it is priced accordingly. The seller is unable to complete repairs, creating an opportunity for buyers looking to build sweat equity and personalize a property with exceptional views, usable acreage, and distinctive architectural character. If you've been searching for a Colorado mountain property with personality, privacy, horse facilities, and long-term upside potential, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
