Sit back and relax with this serene rural classic. This property is approximately 8 miles east of
Las Animas and boasts 2 homes sitting on approximately 20 acres. The property is set up for
all types of animals, especially horses and chickens with corrals, fences, and barns.
The main 1592 sf., house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a large kitchen, designated
dining room containing a newer pellet stove, and wrap-around porch. The main floor has a living
room with a timeless wood stove to keep you warm. The downstairs bathroom has new floors,
new vanity and laundry hookups. New PEX water piping has a heat switch for the pipes in
colder months will help ensure your water delivery. The 600 sf second floor was used as the
master suite with room for any size bed, desk, furniture, entertainment center, you name it, two
closets and a bathroom with a glass door shower. The main house is equipped with central air,
tankless water heater, and propane range.
The self-contained second home is 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The kitchen
has new cabinets and appliances. The bathroom has been updated with a new linen cabinet,
vanity and toilet. A new PTAC unit was installed for heating and cooling. There is also a new
pellet stove.
The two homes share a beautiful front courtyard with small trees, mature bushes, and flower
gardens. The property also has white mulberry, purple mulberry, peach and mini plum trees.
Both homes are plumbed to one domestic well with an additional livestock well by the workshop
and corrals.
The 3 bay barn was used for storage and 2 bays for raising chickens. The chicken bays are
equipped solar automatic chicken doors. The main bay has electricity and lighting. The second
outbuilding (the ‘shop’) has 3 rooms. 1 room was used as a tack room. The other 2 rooms have
power and insulation. The main room has a ceiling mounted powerful heater as well as a wood
stove for cold work times. There is a fully fenced arena for horse training and riding.
The city of Las Animas offers great benefits to the property: school bus pickup at back driveway,
and free city resident use trash receptacles. The property is a 10-minute drive to John Martin
Reservoir to satisfy your outdoor water recreation needs. You will have the company of blue
jays, owls, hawks, and in the winter months, the majestic bald eagles usually pop by to say
hello. Come enjoy country life at its finest.
