About 668 County Road 202

A true diamond in the woods and arguably the best-kept secret in the Animas Valley. Tucked into a private hillside setting on 3.75 acres (2 acres of irrigation water) adjacent to the National Forest, this meticulously maintained home offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience, with everything the valley has to offer just moments away. To reach the property, Orchard Bluff, you’ll pass through the gate, cross the charming Hermosa Creek, which you can hear from the home itself, and continue through a neighboring orchard before arriving at the residence. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 offices, and a bonus room, all within a thoughtfully designed, light-filled floor plan. Anderson windows throughout the home bring in abundant natural light, highlighting the beautiful wood finishes. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry with built-in wine storage, a chef's kitchen with Viking appliances, granite countertops, and a formal dining area that seamlessly flows to a large wrap-around deck perfect for morning coffee or sunset entertaining while taking in breathtaking cliff views. On the main level, a bedroom, office, and full bathroom provide flexible living options, while the expansive laundry room includes generous storage and a utility sink. From here, step outside to an amazing outdoor shower that overlooks the cliffs and national forest, offering an unparalleled connection to nature. The upper level is home to the primary suite, complete with its own private deck plumped for a hot tub, large walk-in closet, and desk/vanity space.
