RIVER-FRONT  HOUSE  & GUEST HOUSE

5 Bedrooms 5+ bathrooms  3,954SF main home    1,852SF guest home  5-car garage    property taxes $2,595  Price $1,685,000

This property is the reward to yourself for all the hard work you have done.  It has all of the features that top end buyers are looking to have in their properties.    Situated on a gorgeous 3 plus acres right on the Animas River, the grounds include a producing apple orchard, your own private grassy beach on the river and beautiful landscaping.  Just 3 miles north of Florida Road in the prestigious east Animas Valley, this property certainly has a location that compliments the balance of the home's qualities.  The main home (approximately 3,954 square feet) has two master suites one of which opens directly out onto the large deck overlooking the river.  There is in-floor hydronic heat both upstairs and down.  The kitchen is truly gourmet with center island maple chopping block top and an expanse of windows above the sink looking out over the wooden-fenced south yard.  The great room is multistoried and is warmed with a meticulously laid river rock fireplace.  That room opens onto the large multi-level deck suitable for entertaining.  There are kids or guest quarters on the second floor of the main house.......but if you really want to provide privacy for your guests, then you will want them in the guest house (approximately 1,854 square feet).  This home has three bedroom and 2 bathrooms along with a 3 car attached garage.  Cathedral ceilings an in-floor hydronic heat add to the character  of the guest house.  This home has a deck that was erected in such a way as  to overlook the apple orchard.
