About the host
Hosted by Peter Bartos
The owner, Peter, is the son of the nationally renowned artist, Joan Hanley, who built and decorated this grand villa. Sadly, Joan passed away in 2019, but her museum-quality artwork is preserved at the Villa. Her life-sized bronze statues adorn La Veta's public spaces, and some of her largest paintings are on display in the La Veta Library and Bachman & Associates Realty office.
Why they chose this property
Unquestionably the best views - the surrounding lots were purchased in order to preserve the 360-degree views and the unique natural setting. It's no wonder why artist Joan Hanley selected this spot to work to build her dream home and to create some of her greatest artworks. We decided to keep the house and artwork intact for future generations to enjoy this slice of paradise. It is a fantastic place to relax and unwind in all four seasons!
The lovely town of La Veta boasts fine art, fine dining, friendly locals, mellow mule deer, and great outdoor adventures (hiking, fishing, golfing, skiing, riding, touring).
Joan Hanley's gravesite is in the nearby cemetery and features a seated rabbit sculpture, and a stunning bas-relief of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
