17266 Wild Horse Drive San Luis, CO 81152
It's just what you've always wanted, a LOG CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS! This treasure is set atop the Wild Horse Mesa in the Southern San Luis Valley. This cabin retreat has a new tankless water heater, which provides a huge savings on propane usage. The home's power currently comes from the use of batteries, charged by a generator. The new owner will most likely want to invest in new batteries and solar panels if they decide to go the solar route. However, there is POWER AT THE LOT LINE! Water is from an inground cistern with water being hauled from the Community Center (about 3 min down the road.) The sellers are leaving the water hauling tank; it fits nicely in the back of a pickup. The septic tank was pumped on 2/26/2022. The home was recently updated with propane and a new propane wall heater. The stove, small refrigerator, antique stove and some furnishings will stay. There is a circle drive in front of the house and an extra pull off area off the driveway to the west as well. The San Luis Valley is the largest alpine valley in the world, and the history is rich here. Several wildlife areas and reservoirs grace the lower valley and add to the sense of the wild west atmosphere. This area is even more special though, as wild horses travel through and eat a little grass as they head down to the Sanchez Reservoir for water. It's easy to feel at home here, soaking up a little warmth in the sun on the front porch or the shade of the covered back porch... listening to the birds sing... when the wind blows gently, it's like the perfect combination to instill that sense of peace.
