43 N Crestone Ol Crestone, CO 81131

Rare garden property within minutes walking distance to the Town of Crestone! Backing a huge greenbelt, this was one of the original homes built in the early days of the development, and sits nestled in a fairy-like pine forest. This 2 bed, 1 bath log cabin house was lovingly cared for over 40 years by the same original owners, who during that time established prolific gardens on the site, as well as created thousands of one of a kind sculptures and jewelry made of crystals and minerals from around the world. The remnants of their work is scattered throughout the grounds, lining walkways and garden beds. Entering into the cabin through the living room, a large wood burning hearth is perfect for warming the structure on cold nights, as a back up to the electric baseboard heat throughout the home. A modest kitchen adjoins the living room, with ample storage and counter space for cooking, and a serving window into the living room. The L-Shape in this room creates a perfect nook for a dining room table. Continuing on through the hallway, to the right is a vintage 1980's bathroom, complete with glass pendant lamps and original tile. The first bedroom features a sizable closet and a custom wooden shelf, while the second features both of the above as well as a large sliding door for access to the large porch. Outside, an ample wood stove heated workshop with electricity was once where the owner created his stonework, and is designed for lapidary equipment, but may be used for any application. Once through the garden gate, a once well-tended garden awaits. Large garden beds, a hammock canopy, and a cedar wood sauna are all awaiting the next owners of this unique property. Crestone is home to dozens of religious organizations from around the world along with exceptional hiking, rock climbing, and three hot springs within an hour's drive. This must-see property is ready for its new stewards!
