Welcome to Windflower Ranch & Retreat, a truly inspiring 43-acre Turn Key Colorado ranchette nestled on desirable Fruitland Mesa in Crawford, Colorado. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the North Fork Valley, this private sanctuary evokes the spirit of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting, where rugged mesas, vibrant sunsets, and endless skies create a landscape unlike any other. From nearly every vantage point, enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the West Elk Mountains, The Raggeds, Grand Mesa, and the surrounding valleys of Western Colorado. The beautifully remodeled main residence offers 828 square feet of warm, inviting living space with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Designed for comfort and simplicity, the open-concept floor plan features soaring ceilings, a stunning hand-hewn log beam, farmhouse sink, shaker-style cabinetry, kitchen island, newer appliances, custom insulated blinds, water softener, and abundant natural light. A wraparound deck and covered porch extend the living space outdoors, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, wildlife viewing, and unforgettable Colorado sunsets. Privately situated away from the main home, the charming 800-square-foot guest cottage offers exceptional versatility. Fully remodeled in 2023 with new flooring, paint, and window coverings, this turnkey retreat features a spacious bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, washer and dryer hookups, rustic pine tongue-and-groove interior, soaring ceilings, and a cozy wood-burning stove. Whether hosting family and friends, generating income as a successful short-term rental, or creating a private studio or workspace, this guest home offers endless possibilities. Designed with both equestrian enthusiasts and homesteaders in mind, the property includes irrigated pasture with gated pipe, fenced and cross-fenced grazing areas, a 60-foot round pen, 100' x 70' riding arena, hay barn, chicken coop, multiple storage buildings, and a private shooting range. Two picturesque ponds fed by irrigation water attract abundant wildlife while creating peaceful outdoor gathering spaces. Overflow from the domestic water tap provides a reliable year-round water source for livestock and wildlife. The property also features a two-car garage with concrete floor, built-in cabinetry, and power, mature aspen trees, producing peach, apricot, and pear trees, established perennial gardens, and native piñon-juniper forest that enhances privacy and natural beauty. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with direct access to adjacent BLM land for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and exploring. Modern conveniences are not overlooked, with Elevate Fiber Optic Internet serving both residences, making remote work and streaming effortless while maintaining a peaceful rural lifestyle.
