1390 Mountain Valley Road, Other, CO, 81055

The Mountain View is a beautifully finished 4,780± square-foot log home perched high on 35± acres just minutes from La Veta, Colorado, and is accessible year-round via POA-maintained roads. Featuring stunning views of the Spanish Peaks and prominent dike walls, the quality workmanship of this home has made it locally known as a special property. The Mountain View lies in the gated Raspberry Mountain Ranch subdivision off Colorado Highway 12, the state-designated Scenic Highway of Legends. The elevation of 7,900± feet tends to have a great mix of milder winters and cooler summers. Views from almost every room in the house are dramatic and offer an angle of view seen by only a few lucky souls. The spacious home has four bedrooms but could be expanded to five or six. There are three bathrooms, including the well-appointed primary ensuite bath that, with the bedroom, enjoys its own floor of the house. A central gathering room gas fireplace complements the study’s wood-burning kiva-style fireplace. The log exterior has recently been restored and re-chinked. The deck has been replaced with a maintenance-free synthetic surface. Previous owners have had horses. For equestrian enthusiasts, there is a corral and hay shed, adding practical infrastructure for horse use. Elk, mule deer, and various wildlife are frequent visitors to the property. One of the most outstanding features of the area is its breathtaking scenery, with expansive mountain vistas, Cucharas River creeks, and abundant wildlife. The setting supports a wide range of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing, appealing to both recreational users and those drawn to an active mountain lifestyle. Just a short drive up the road, Cuchara Mountain Park offers limited skiing opportunities during the winter months.
