Rhonda and Dennis purchased this house in 2018
Why Rhonda and Dennis chose Mancos
We bought our property with the emphasis to find the perfect retirement home with large acreage, beautiful views and easy travel distances for our family and friends to enjoy staying with us and create special memories for everyone! Our sons & daughter-in-law are brokers with R1 Realty/Your Home League and certainly found our dream home! We wanted a unique southwest style home with unique healthful sustainable attributes. Our contemporary Steel Post and Beam Adobe Straw-bale home with thick earthen walls and floors, stained concrete and fine Cherry Wood floors, fine Teak built in library and gorgeous marble and granite everywhere is sunny and bright, while gifting us with grand forever views! Our dream is to share our special home and joy of where we live with all who visit us!
What makes this house unique

Wildlife and birds are abundant on this private secluded property which is just 5 minutes from the Mesa Verde National Park Visitor Center Entrance! Consider taking a day to Plein Air Paint with Award Winning Artist owner Rhonda, as your private guide and instructor with prior arrival arrangements and separate fees. Enjoy the grand views while swinging in our large veranda swing or soaking in the luxury Hot Tub. The dark sky starry nights and luminous moons are amazing! Grab a star and make your wish!!
