This Gorgeous Victorian Home is located in the beautiful valley just north of Ouray. Surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains, this historic gem is listed on the National Historic Registry. Construction began in 1886 and was completed in 1888 by George Andrew Jackson, who is credited with discovering the first commercial gold deposits in Colorado and was the nephew of Kit Carson. The property underwent many changes over the years, eventually falling into disrepair and sitting vacant for some time. In 2000, a local judge and builder purchased the home and began an incredible 10-year restoration project. Updates included all-new plumbing and electrical systems, foam-insulated interior walls, a copper roof, new subfloors, central heating and cooling, and new doors and windows. The next owners, who purchased the home in 2011, completed the restoration by 2013. The level of care and craftsmanship throughout is truly something you must see to appreciate. Custom walnut millwork, crafted by a local artisan, adds elegance to the interior doors, windows, baseboards, and cabinetry. Much of the original gingerbread detailing still graces the exterior, along with original elements of the staircase that leads from the foyer to the second level. Marble and wood floors are featured throughout the home. The kitchen features reproduction Heartland appliances"”including two ovens, a broiler, warming drawer, refrigerator, and dishwasher"”creating a charming vintage ambiance with modern functionality. The finished third-story attic offers an office space and two bonus rooms. There are three beautifully restored bedrooms, including an elegant primary suite, and three full bathrooms. The lawn irrigation system is fed by a 100-gallons-per-minute water well. Priority water rights on the Hosner Brownyard Ditch feed the pond and over an acre of agricultural land. The house itself is supplied by Tri-County Water. The three-car garage includes in-floor heating, a fourth full bathroom, and a parking pad with a 30-amp plug for your RV. The private, expansive patio features an outdoor kitchen"”perfect for entertaining. The home is ideally located near a gravel road, perfect for biking to Ouray or Ridgway, and it's only 30 minutes from world-class backcountry skiing on Red Mountain Pass. Call today for a showing!
