Property Description:
Originally the site of an historic hotel, this 9 room bed and breakfast has been in operation since 1997. Once crossing the threshhold visitors are enveloped with a sense of well being. Soaring ceilings, light-filled rooms, and heaven sent music delight the senses.

Lovingly restored, and situated on a one acre lot, the property maintains much of its historic character. Stately and graciously proportioned, its original hotel rooms have not been chopped up with today's trappings. A large 300 sq. ft. covered front porch frames stunning mountain and valley views, inviting all to relax and unwind. The threshold opens to a large living room and stately Fir post staircase and to the side, a roomy parlor and under-stairs powder room. Downstairs is also the ample dining room with its wide doorway. Off of the dining room through double swinging “waiter” doors is a large country kitchen with a commercial gas six-burner stove, two refrigerators, dishwasher, sink, and the refinished hotel lobby serving as a decorative and functional large island. A sitting room / office, bedroom, two closets, large full bath with claw foot tub, and laundry room / pantry complete the downstairs. Antique light fixtures, wood molding, and wallpaper borders throughout, add grace and old world charm. Heating is forced air gas with 2 furnaces, one upstairs, one downstairs.

Upstairs are 9 guestrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ceilings are high, the rooms feel cool, the mood is serene. Each room has a sink and mirror and either a double bed, king size bed, or two twin beds. At each end of the hall are bathrooms with showers. The rooms are wonderfully decorated with wallpaper borders, museum quality American antique furnishing, and tasteful linens, quilts and comforters. Also upstairs is a large utility room with ample storage. Windows and views abound.

Consisting of 9 town lots, totaling almost an acre, 10 huge willows on the west and south provide shade and wind screen. A deep, naturally flowing registered 500’ deep artesian well feeds the house. Overflow from the constantly flowing well feeds the water lily and koi ponds and a vegetable garden. Additional structures include a decorative well house, the original wood large outhouse now used for storage, and a new metal 22’ x 24’ building with propane forced air heating and electricity, a deck, large panoramic windows, a side entrance and 10’ garage door. One half is fully finished and serves as an art studio, meditation / retreat area, meeting place, or office. The other half has been a wood and metalworking shop and art studio.

Enjoy this fabulous historic setting as a family home or turnkey B&B. The sale price includes the real estate, water rights, fixtures, appliances, bedding and linen, and functional cooking and serving requirements for a turnkey operation.

About the Area

Known throughout Colorado as an holistic healing center, one only needs to peruse it's event calendar (see below) to catch a glimpse of what it would be like to live in this tiny little paradise. Located in the shadow of Colorado's majestic San Juan mountain range, it is home to a plethora of spiritual centers, ashrams and the like.

Activities in the San Luis Valley
The San Luis Valley is one of the largest high desert valleys in the world, lying at an altitude of over 7,000 feet. Surrounded by the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east and the San Juan range to the west, the valley is the size of Connecticut.
Hiking
Opportunities abound for novice, intermediate, and advanced hikers. The Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Area contains some of the most dramatic and challenging hikes in the valley. With 225 miles of trails and ascents gaining as much as 6,000 vertical feet, even the most advanced hikers and climbers will breathe a little hard by the time they reach the top. Many lakes pool at the bases of these peaks and cirques, offering some great high altitude angling. At the foot of the Sangres is the Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, which is open to hiking, dune walking, and early summer wading in Medano Creek. The La Garita Wilderness spans both the Rio Grande and Gunnison National Forests, covering a total area of 129,626 acres. Located to the west of the San Luis Valley, its more gentle terrain opens to most of the usual back country pursuits. The Rio Grande National Forest features over 1,350 miles of trails.
Biking
There are several established mountain biking trails around the valley. Because of the steepness of the terrain, mountain biking is limited in the Sangres. Additionally, mountain bikers can venture out along the thousands of miles of Forest Service and B.L.M. roads and jeep trails that snake their way all through public lands.
River Activities
Visitors seeking river adventures need to look no further than the Conejos, Rio Grande, or Arkansas rivers, where a variety of waters awaits for tubing, canoeing, rafting or kayaking. Fishing in most rivers and tributaries around the valley ranges from good to excellent; all that is needed is a pole and a license.
Horseback Riding
Exploring the San Luis Valley on horseback is one of the area’s oldest forms of tourism. From the days of the early Spanish and Anglo expeditions, folks have been mounting up and heading out across the great frontier.
Wintertime Activities
Winter in the valley and surrounding areas brings with it the pastimes of snowshoeing, sledding, snowmobiling and both alpine and cross-country skiing.
