This home is nestled in a tranquil setting in a Ponderosa pine forest at 8,500 ft. on 5 acres and offers nature at your doorstep. Hiking, climbing, flyfishing, kayaking, ATV, skiing, and snowshoeing are at your fingertips. Just a quick hike to Zapata Falls out your back door. Wake up every morning to endless views of the Great Sand Dunes and 2 surrounding mountain ranges. Evenings bring incredible sunsets and “dark sky” viewing.

Enter the property through the forest and encounter a 3,300 sq. ft. log home with an oversized three-car attached garage plus a 30x20 detached RV garage. A bricked patio with a gas fire pit adds to the entryway, surrounded by several beautiful flower gardens.

The main living area with a 20 ft. ceiling is an open concept, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining with a stacked stone, floor-to-ceiling, and see-through gas fireplace.

The updated kitchen has a new French-door Kitchen Aid refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Blanco sink and faucets. There are multiple pantries to provide additional storage. Most of the lighting throughout the home are updated and modernized.

The north side of the home has a large, covered porch with views of the Great Sand Dunes and Crestone Peaks. The south side abuts BLM public lands and offers a secluded area with a hot tub on a bricked patio up a winding path and provides excellent mountain and sunset views.

A rolling barn door made from beetle-kill pine leads to an oversized 3-car garage. The garage has a south-facing roof set up for the addition of solar panels.

The RV garage has a 12 ft. garage door and 50- and 30-amp outlets. There is plenty of additional storage for RV supplies, camping gear, kayaks, bikes, and other toys.

This home is a one-of-kind property for anyone seeking unique mountain living. Welcome to Zapata.
