It also opens directly to a spacious balcony showcasing spectacular, unobstructed views of the Hermosa Cliffs. The surrounding landscape is framed by sweeping views of the Hermosa Cliffs and the tip of Grayrock, the majestic northwest peak of Graysill Mountain. On quiet afternoons, you may even hear the faint whistle of the historic narrow-gauge train echoing through the valley. For those ready to explore, the Animas River and historic railroad tracks are accessible by a scenic hike from the property boundary, putting even more wilderness adventure within reach. Turnkey and fully furnished, the property also includes a detached garage, making it exceptionally functional for storing a vehicle, ATVs, hunting equipment, skis, and outdoor gear.
