Rancho Tranquilo is an exceptional 61.73-acre horse property with water and thoughtfully planned infrastructure perfect for horse training, boarding, or a "horse hotel." Offered as-is or with available add-ons to increase your return on investment, this property combines rustic charm with modern functionality. The Residence The refurbished 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a soft, treed lawn with well-placed shrubs that offer privacy and sensory delight. The residence retains a nod to its 1909 heritage while offering all the conveniences of modern living, with views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and Great Sand Dunes National Park from both bedrooms. In the spring, you can expect to witness an owl chick or two hatching in your trees. Kitchen & Living Spaces: Light streams into the kitchen and adjacent back sunroom/laundry area, where you can watch your horses in the paddock. The space flows effortlessly for entertaining, featuring fun retro cabinetry, “barnboard” style laminate floors, and a separate dining area that steps down into a sunken living room. Outdoor Living: A sliding glass door opens to a sheltered, private lawn sitting area, perfect for grilling and dining outdoors. The yard features a quaint vintage feel, complete with an old-fashioned, well-constructed clothesline for hanging laundry in the Colorado sunshine. A portion of the yard offers excellent space for raising chickens and/or rabbits. Just on the other side of the ADU sits a well-maintained traditional root cellar/larder with thick stucco walls and a dirt roof, providing the ideal cool storage for produce. Guest Potential: A 228 sq. ft. Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) sits just across the back lawn. You enter this flexible space through a covered porch and patio with a door on either side. To the left is a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, while the right side of the patio opens to a versatile living area or potential second bedroom. Beyond short-term rentals, this layout serves perfectly as a "teen" apartment, offering both proximity to family and independence. Equestrian & Water Features Water & Utilities: The property is served by three domestic wells. Two irrigation wells are also included with a combined 60 acre feet per year allowed. An additional 50 shares of Rio Grande ditch can also be purchased. The Barn: Equipped with electric and water, the barn features four paddocks with ten 12x12 stalls constructed from 5-inch thick "Antonito" pumice walls designed to prevent wood chewing, complemented with sturdy wooden gates. Barn Office/Flex Space: The barn includes a beautiful, light-filled office or overflow bedroom with two sinks and a private toilet. It features a cozy Ashley stove and tall windows looking out to the paddocks. Outbuildings & Infrastructure: Includes a 2-car detached garage, pasture, and multi-use zoning. The infrastructure is ideal for livestock, multi-use, and single-family living.
