  Watson Land Company ~ Westcliffe Colorado  istorical charm, 19th century ambiance and 21st century comfort provide food for the soul in "The Cabin." Enjoy a view of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains that is timeless and close. These two historic pioneer cabins, one from Ohio (1850) and one from West Virginia (1860) have been meticulously revitalized to create the ultimate turn-key home. The rustic feeling of yesteryear is found throughout this 2320sf home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and an additional 518sf office or recreational room over the garage. The outside of "The Cabin" has been finished with old board-and-batten style barn boards from Vermont.

Enter "The Cabin" through a dogtrot connecting the original cabins, which serves as the dining room. The soft richness of the wood throughout provides a comforting ambiance. The West Virginia cabin, graced with handhewn Chestnut logs, was transformed into the living room which has a vaulted ceiling. The focal point of this room is a fireplace of local Colorado moss rock. The floors are all a rich red oak. Beyond the dining room is the country kitchen, created from the Ohio cabin. A period reproduction Heartland propane range/oven heightens the pioneer feeling. Varnished wood counter tops provide work space in the kitchen as well as the baths. Relaxing in the airy Master bedroom, with full bath, you can imagine that you are living in the mid 1800's. The mudroom has an old-fashioned pass-through wood box and laundry room with utility sink and a half bath.

Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings connected by a study/computer area where you can gaze at the Sangres while you work. Modern computer and electronic equipment are right at home in this pioneer setting. Another full bath serves the second story. Throughout the home there are storage areas, including a wine closet, something one would not expect in a log cabin.

Relax and enjoy the outdoors from the 12' x 18' Trex deck. A short distance away is a unique garage with an attached workshop and animal run plus a second story office/recreational room above. The shop and second story are heated and wired for computers and electronics, and there is ample storage here as well. A charming old outhouse building serves as a garden shed. There is plenty of room to garden and play on the 3.3 acres on the floor of the Wet Mountain Valley. "The Cabin" is located just a short distance from the quaint town of Westcliffe. Offered at $435,000.
