1034 Van Fossan Lane

Discover this 2021-built retreat on 1.71 acres in Forbes Park, 2 bed-2 bath where Western Red Cedar trim and custom builder finishes elevate every detail inside and out. The home and property host a fantastic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stretching to the NW, with gorgeous pink and red sunsets and sunrises. Stay cozy year-round at 68-74 with minimal effort, thanks to an oversized Rianni propane heater or a high-end woodstove on a slate-tiled hearth, accented by floor-to-ceiling stacked slate and cedar trim. Enjoy the wildlife-elk herds, mule deer, turkeys, eagles, hawks, and the occasional black bear. Watch them from the dining table or listen to elk bugle from the expansive 40'x8' back patio with a wrap around concrete walkway. A rustic path winds down to a campfire ring surrounded by new-growth aspens. All of it framed by huge 5'x4' double-pane windows and a 7'x4' kitchen window. Forbes Park is a private gated community that borders Trinchera Ranch and the San Isabel National Forest, offering great hiking, snowshoeing, and horseback riding. Forbes Park also offers common land for residents, which this property borders. The 24'x50' detached shop, with a moisture barrier, awaits wiring and insulation to store everything and plenty of room for toys and projects. The home has an oversized one car attached garage, fits a large SUV or Crew Cab truck and storage. Fully furnished, this 2 bed / 2 bath home comfortably hosted a family of four with two toddlers for four years. Included is an additional pull-out sleeper couch downstairs and a queen-sized Murphy Bed in the loft and easily sleeps 8+. With a well, septic, and high-speed fiber optic internet, it's move-in ready. Easy access to US-160 to connect to I-25 and the Front Range. House is 20 minutes from Fort Garland, 45 minutes to Alamosa and La Veta, 1.5 hours from Taos. The home would make an excellent AirBnB, full-time or part-time residence. A perfect blend of luxury and wilderness-see it for yourself!
