Aspen Rose Ranch  

From its glorious location overlooking the legendary Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this architect designed stone and cedar mountain hideaway will delight and surprise you. Starting with its hand-carved door from Barcelona, Spain, you enter into the hallway and realize there is an enclosed courtyard with a pond inside the house! What a lovely spot for star-gazing (it has an open roof) or a delightful dinner listening to the enchanting fountain. So much thought has gone into this property - the owner did not want to settle for all square doorframes, so persevered until he found the right craftsman to make the carved doorways in the guest wing. The floor plan is ideal with the master bedroom and bath on the opposite side of the living area than the guest quarters. Other surprises include a wall of windows overlooking the mountains where you can even see the tip of Taos Mountain off in the distance. There is a cozy built in cushioned bench in the corner of the living area with great mountain views and plenty of sunshine. Other special touches include top of the line kitchen appointments with a soapstone countertop, hardwood floors made from ancient salvaged wood, three full baths with granite and tile walk-in showers, Douglas Fir beams from British Columbia, clay finished walls in the guest wing, three large bedrooms with huge mountain vistas.
