Property Description

Discover a charming Wetmore mountain retreat on 0.39 acre—an inviting full-time residence, weekend getaway, second home, or potential short-term rental investment. Enjoy cooler summers, crisp mountain evenings, beautiful views, and year-round access from a county-maintained road. Just minutes from San Isabel National Forest, hiking, fishing, camping, ATV trails, horseback riding, and snowshoeing are within easy reach. Natural wood walls, ceilings, and floors create a warm Colorado cabin atmosphere. The kitchen features a GE stainless-steel gas range, refrigerator, reverse-osmosis drinking-water system, and an open connection to the living and dining area. Both full bathrooms have updated toilets, vanities, and tub or shower surrounds. The secondary bedroom is near the guest bathroom, while the spacious primary bedroom connects to the primary bathroom and laundry area and opens to a private deck. Ceiling fans, modern lighting, and updated interior doors and hardware complete the home. A wall-mounted, thermostat-controlled furnace provides dependable warmth. The primary bedroom’s supplemental gas heater operates without electricity, offering backup heat during a power outage. The fully fenced yard has a gated entrance and room for RVs, trailers, pets, and outdoor toys. Do it for the dogs—they deserve a yard! Relax, dine, birdwatch, or entertain on the expansive back deck overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Additional features include a private well, septic system, leased 500-gallon propane tank, San Isabel Electric service, one-car garage, attached carport, covered parking, and exterior storage. Approximately 15 minutes from Florence; 30 minutes from Cañon City, Pueblo, and Westcliffe; and 50 minutes from Colorado Springs. This versatile Wetmore home offers an appealing blend of comfort, recreation, and mountain character.
