7708 Sunset Ridge Drive

This stunning 40-acre property features a custom-designed, true-adobe Southwestern home, in a tranquil setting offering privacy, mountain views & abundant wildlife: deer, elk, antelope, hawks & more. Located southeast of Pueblo, the property is wooded with cedars & oaks, and crossed by scenic arroyos that get occasional streams. To the south, the landscape opens dramatically to high prairie, leading to the iconic Spanish Peaks & the Wet Mountains. Fronted by a tranquil courtyard (55' across) with a central fountain, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features timber-beam ceilings, abundant natural light & porcelain-tile flooring throughout the main level. The home is heated by a solar-powered hot-water radiant in-floor system, controlled by new wireless thermostats. (The home has on-grid electrical service, as well as propane & fiber optic.) The home is surrounded by patio space (14x80), so each room (other than bathrooms) leads to comfortable outdoor living space, offering views in every direction. The gourmet kitchen has a 6-burner gas cooktop, a double oven, an island, glass-front cabinets, a new reverse-osmosis system, a walk-in pantry & numerous other amenities. An adjacent wet bar offers wine storage. Countertops throughout the home are granite. A custom staircase leads to a private upstairs studio with inspiring mountain & prairie views. The home also features a new water softener & a new radon-mitigation system. Adding to the home's ambience: a wood fireplace in the living room & an elegant 2-way gas fireplace serving both a family room & the master suite. The vast master suite opens to a patio (with hot tub pad & new fencing) facing the Wet Mountains, and includes a walk-in closet & luxurious 5-piece master bath with an antique claw-foot tub & walk-in spa shower. An attached 2-car garage offers additional storage. A detached 32x40 shop has room for 3 vehicles, as well as storage & workshop space. The property has a domestic well on record at an impressive 15 gpm.
