Backstory & Property Details:

My love affair with the Cuchara Valley began in 2022 during a camping expedition to scale the Spanish Peaks. A pit stop in the charming town of Cuchara for a meal at the Yacht Club was all it took for me to fall head over heels for the community and the breathtaking landscape. So smitten in fact that I decided to establish a second home in the valley, a decision I've relished ever since.

Having poured my heart into creating a warm and inviting space, I'm thrilled to open the doors of my snug mountain hideaway to you! I'm confident you'll be as enamored with it, and the surrounding area, as I am.

The condo is a charming, practical space adorned with captivating artwork from local artists, sourced from the neighboring towns of La Veta and Cuchara. This modernized 1 bed, 1 bath lower level unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen and can accommodate up to 4 guests. The bedroom houses a sturdy, adult-sized log bunk bed, each fitted with a Full/Double size premium mattress and can comfortably sleep 2 adults per bed (the top bunk can support up to 500 pounds). An additional fold-out couch in the bedroom can be used as an extra bed. For those working remotely, there's a built-in workstation in the living room and robust wi-fi.

Nestled on the Eastern slopes of the Culebra Range, a subset of the vast Sangre De Cristo mountain range, our location sits 1,000 feet above the valley floor, providing sweeping panoramic views of the Spanish Peaks. While our remote setting offers excellent WiFi, be aware that cell phone reception can be sporadic. To ensure seamless access to the unit, consider taking a screenshot or printing out your arrival instructions beforehand.

The nearest grocery store, Charlie's Market in La Veta, is a 20-25 minute drive away, so please plan ahead and bring food and snacks. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials you'll need to whip up your meals, including pots, pans, microwave, toaster oven, standard utensils, wine opener, Keurig, regular drip coffee maker, coffee, creamer, tea, flour, oil, sugar, seasonings, pancake mix & syrup. We've got you covered!

The dirt road leading to the condo from the main highway is well-kept and plowed in the winter. Under normal conditions, 2WD vehicles with low clearance should have no trouble reaching the condo. However, during inclement weather and winter conditions, we recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle with decent clearance.

Please note that reaching our bottom floor unit requires navigating 2 short flights of stairs, totaling around 10-12 steps. The path is lit at night by solar-powered motion sensor lights. In winter, the path may be covered in snow as the HOA only clears the roads and parking areas, so come prepared.
