Mountain Home on 5 Forested Acres

If you have been looking for a place where the setting does some of the work for you, this is it. In the Eastcliffe subdivision of Westcliffe, tucked among towering Ponderosa pines, this 5.44-acre property offers the kind of Colorado landscape that feels both grounded and expansive: forested pockets for shade and privacy, open meadow space that lets the sky feel bigger, and the steady, calming presence of the Wet Mountain Valley all around.

This turnkey 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home is built around a simple idea: life is better when the house supports the way you want to spend your days. Outside, the generous covered deck is the centerpiece. With its warm wood ceiling overhead and plenty of room for seating and dining, it becomes your everyday gathering place. It is where mornings begin slowly, where you catch the scent of pine after a summer rain, and where evenings have space to breathe without needing a plan. Just below, the ground-level patio sits outside sliding doors, offering an easy step-out connection to the yard and the trees. Whether you are carrying out a drink, stepping into the sunshine, or taking a quiet moment before turning in, the indoor-outdoor flow feels natural here.

The fenced yard adds a practical layer many mountain properties do not offer, creating a defined space right near the home, while the detached ShelterLogic garage provides protected storage for a vehicle and the gear that comes with Colorado seasons.

Inside, the home feels open, bright, and comfortable across all three levels. The living room sets the tone with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, and a Quadra-Fire wood pellet stove that anchors the space and makes winter evenings feel cozy and unhurried. Updated flooring and fresh finishes keep the main level clean and inviting, while the layout stays connected without feeling crowded.

The kitchen is beautifully renovated and updated...designed for everyday cooking and entertaining. Brand-new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a crisp tile backsplash, and generous cabinetry offer both function and style. The wide picture window over the sink is a daily favorite, framing the pines and bringing the outdoors into the room in every season. The kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, so conversation stays easy whether you are cooking, relaxing, or hosting.

The home offers two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an updated bath with a tiled tub surround and a modern vanity. A dedicated laundry area adds practical convenience, along with additional storage for seasonal equipment, tools, and everyday essentials.

For comfort year-round, the property includes a propane furnace and electric heat, with natural cooling from the breezes through the pines. The location places you near the community pond and gazebo and close to the outdoor recreation Custer County is known for, while still offering access to town amenities in Westcliffe for shopping, dining, and local services.

This is a home that makes it easy to unplug, spread out, and enjoy the setting without sacrificing comfort.
