Nestled in a prime location, this 2-story home offers breathtaking mountain views and a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect retreat. Located in a highly desirable area with a perfect year-round climate, this property combines the best of both worlds—comfort and natural beauty. Set on a spacious lot, there's plenty of room for outdoor living, gardening, or future expansion. The property was thoughtfully designed, starting with the exterior where the lot was leveled and special silt added so that almost anything will grow here. In the corners of the lot you will notice the drainage that was placed as well as the underground canal so that any excess rainwater will be directed away from the home. For the home's foundation, several meters of river stone were placed to provide a solid base. The structure is brick, and there are steel reinforcements on the second level. There is a wrap-around porch encompassing the entire home. Outside there is a connection for a laundry area. For the interior, as you pass through the main entrance, you walk into an enormous open concept space with plenty of windows to allow for ample natural light. There is a living area off to the right, and a kitchen/dining area off to the left. Here the ceilings are high and you can see up the staircase to the mezzanine level. Here is a small juliette balcony from where you can see the mountains on both sides. This level is huge and runs the width of the house and can easily be converted into a master bedroom suite or divided into separate areas. There is one room up here which can be a smaller bedroom or an office or a yoga studio. The floors and wainscoting upstairs are made of knotty pine. There is a full bathroom upstairs as well. Downstairs there are 2 bedrooms each with closets and mountain views. There is one huge bathroom with jacuzzi-style tub. There is a back door which leads outside and the views from the back side of the home are even better than the front. The property is located on a small private road, shared by one neighbor in the front and one neighbor in the back. You can walk into the town of Paute where there are many restaurants, shops, stores, banks, pharmacies and the like. In town there is plenty of public transportation. The main square of Paute is very quaint, featuring a large church and nice central park. Whether you're relaxing in the private backyard, exploring the surrounding area, or simply enjoying the views from your balcony or wrap-around porch, this property offers the best of both comfort and tranquility. With its ideal location and breathtaking surroundings, this property is a rare find that you will want to see. Don't miss the chance to make this mountain-view haven your own!
