El Cacino (A Country Home) ~ Colorado Western Ranch Comes Alive

As I am known to do when a unique special property comes along I always like to write about and share it with others.   There is just something about the West that calls to some people.  This house on 2.5 acres is so unique because it not only offers a taste of the Colorado West but history lives on here as this was the home on a former larger ranch where award winning Stallions were raised.   If you listen carefully you can almost hear the horses galloping in the fields with plenty of room to roam.

Colorado Country Home for Sale or Trade

Along with all the history is the custom floor plan and built in touches, quality craftmanship and green living (solar) in place and active. 

This unusual and hard to find square home with a center courtyard accessed by double french doors on every side make it ideal for entertaining.  Tucked into the rolling hillside, with views in every direction yet tremendous privacy. Multiple outdoor patios, western greenhouse and over 2 acres outdoor fun. Hard to describe floorplan ideal for entertaining. The sun streams in on all sides providing unlimited sunshine and passive solar.
