A special find! Gracious and inviting home in Carbondale's popular River Valley Ranch community. Tucked within a quiet and private corner of the neighborhood, meticulously maintained and upgraded. This gently occupied part-time residence is in excellent condition and offered tastefully furnished. The main level conveys a warm western ''post and beam'' ambiance with soaring vaulted ceiling in the living room and floor to ceiling windows showcasing pastoral golf course and ranch land views. The public areas are comfortably sized for everyday living and special gatherings alike. Plenty of room for guests with an open floorplan, terrific kitchen with pantry and wine bar, and generous dining area opening to the ''cooking porch'' and patios for fair weather entertaining. Nearby is a fire pit and hot tub, sheltered by large trees and a whimsical ''Mariachi Band'' art installation. A large irrigation canal flows past the back yard all season long, attracting birds and providing the soothing backdrop sounds of flowing water. Two en-suite bedrooms are perfect for guests or family members on the main floor, with a private door to the patio and hot tub. Leading upstairs is an open stairwell highlighted with beautiful one-of-a-kind custom metal railings continuing across the front of the loft area overlooking the living/dining area which creates an ideal reading nook, office or overflow sleeping area for guests. The remainder of the second floor is comprised of a luxurious primary suite with plenty of windows to bring in the view, including Mt. Sopris. Two walk-in closets make for happy ''roommates'', and a spa like bath includes slate flooring, double vanities, extra-large shower and jacuzzi tub. Manicured, mature landscaping surrounds the home, with a sprinkler system fed by a separate untreated irrigation water source for outdoor use. World class River Valley Ranch public golf course, a restaurant with arguably the best patio in the valley, miles of walking paths and access to the Crystal River are within the neighborhood. HOA amenities include a swimming pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, work out facilities, classes and clubhouse, all situated within Carbondale city limits. So convenient!
