The Seller reserves the right to accept an offer prior to deadline, reject any and all offers, or negotiate with one or more buyers. Nestled in the heart of scenic McElmo Canyon, this exceptional historic rock homestead offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Southwest Colorado history. Originally constructed in 1915, the home has been thoughtfully updated throughout the years while preserving the timeless craftsmanship, character, and durability of its native stone construction. The main residence features three bedrooms and two bathrooms with comfortable living spaces, unique architectural details, and the enduring beauty that only a historic stone home can provide. A private second-level apartment adds flexibility and value, offering a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and guest accommodations. Property improvements include a detached two-car garage, an original stone outbuilding dating back to the property's early history, a historic root cellar, and additional spaces with potential for studio, workshop, hobby, storage, or office use. Mature trees, established landscaping, a historic irrigation ditch, and fencing contribute to the property's appeal while reflecting its rich agricultural heritage. Convenient paved access directly from Road G provides year-round accessibility. Surrounded by the stunning red rock cliffs, working farms, vineyards, orchards, and archaeological treasures that make McElmo Canyon so highly sought after, this one-of-a-kind property embodies the beauty and character of Southwest Colorado living. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, private retreat, artist's haven, or legacy homestead, this remarkable offering combines historic charm, functional improvements, privacy, and rural lifestyle in an extraordinary setting. Rarely does a property with this level of history, character, and versatility become available in one of the region's most treasured locations.
