Affordable mountain living meets move-in-ready comfort at this thoughtfully updated Conifer home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer, or savvy investor, this property offers practicality, versatility, and the potential to grow equity now—or convert into a rental later. Situated on a county-maintained road with no through traffic, and near the fire department, this home offers both security and connection. The open floor plan flows seamlessly with a wood pellet stove and four-season sun porch—perfect for a home office, hobby area, or private retreat for morning coffee. A generously sized bedroom with ample closet space sits just steps from a full bathroom with extra storage and a tub. Recent updates make life easier: luxury vinyl and tile flooring, newer gas water heater (2022), cozy hot-water baseboard heat, and freshly painted exteriors on the home and outbuildings (2025). The roof was replaced in 2019, and an electrical upgrade in 2017 brought a 200 Amp panel, breakers, and new circuits to the 100 Amp service. A generator pad with hook-up supports an 8-circuit panel, providing peace of mind in all seasons. The laundry room connects directly to 2 spacious, fully insulated garages with 50 Amp service—ideal for vehicles, projects, or workshop. Multiple storage sheds add more flexibility, including one large enough to house an ATV with a plow. Additional upgrades include a newer well drilled in 2013, certified septic, a fenced area for pets or small animals, and a dedicated RV pad. A calibrated telescope platform offers a rare chance to take in Colorado’s starry skies right from your backyard. With usable outdoor space, thoughtful updates, high-speed internet via a nearby tower, and a range of modern conveniences, this home blends comfort, versatility, and connectivity. Ready to move in and full of potential, 11948 Apache Trail is the perfect mountain retreat for buyers, investors, or those simplifying their lifestyle.
