95 Hubbards Trail,

South Fork, Colorado 81154

5 bedroom 3 bath home BORDERS PUBLIC LANDS

Beautifully maintained, with gorgeous, perennial landscaping.

Welcome Home!

This bright, spacious home sits on just over 1/2 acre bordering public lands in the town of South Fork, Colorado.  Located on a seldom-traveled county road, 95 Hubbards Trail is peaceful and private - yet it has the most amazing mountain views you can imagine!  South facing to take advantage of the winter sunlight, the home at 95 Hubbards Trail is cozy year-round.  The home was built in 2003 and sits on a permanent foundation. 

The Alpine neighborhood has no covenants, which means you can have chickens or horses.  You could also use the home as an Air B&B or VRBO without the restrictions and fees you will find inside the city limits of South Fork.  County building codes apply, but currently there are no County restrictions on type of use as far as short-term or long-term rentals like you find in many neighborhoods or within the city limits.  An application is required, however, please see this link.

This home has two spacious, furnished living areas.  The first, as you walk in the main door, faces South and has incredible views of Del Norte Peak.  This room has a propane fireplace and comfortable furnishings.  

Off this room, to the right, you'll find the master bedroom with an ensuite bath including a full-size garden-style bathtub, two sinks, a stand-alone shower, and a toilet.  Connecting to the master bedroom is an office - which I have referred to as a fifth bedroom.  This room does have a window, but not a closet.  It is large enough to be a library, a nursery, an office, a sewing/craft room, or a dog room.  Currently, there is a gun safe next to the desk which will convey with the home as it is affixed to the floor.  This can be removed if you prefer, but the sellers would like to leave it.

Back in the main living area, you'll find a bright, spacious kitchen with a new propane range/oven and a new dishwasher.  The kitchen window looks out into the public lands bordering the back of the house.  Deer are common, elk wander through occasionally.  Flanking the kitchen you'll find a formal dining room on one side and an informal eating area/nook on the other.  

On your left, as you leave the kitchen you'll come to three incredibly spacious, south-facing bedrooms.   The first two share a Jack-and-Jill-style bathroom between them.  The third bedroom on the end nearest the large two-car garage has a private bathroom next door.   Another large living area faces North and looks out at the mountain behind the house.  This living area has an incredibly efficient Blaze King wood-burning stove that heats the entire house if needed.  At the back of the home, on your way out to the garage, you'll find the laundry room.

The garage is large enough for two full-sized vehicles plus a few ATV's, but you don't need to store your ATVs in the garage!  A new, completely rodent, and dust-proof shipping container sits near the back of the property.  It is wired for electricity and easily fits four full-sized ATVs.  The sellers have historically plugged in battery minders and left their four-wheelers locked in this container over the winter.    Speaking of ATVs, Jeeps, and such, there's no need to trailer up if you want to hit the trails.  There is access to the trail system off of Elk Ridge Trail approximately 1/2 mile to the East of this property.  You can hike directly out from your property, though.  Please see Dee's hike video where she walks through the BLM lands to the Forest Service lands beyond.

If this wasn't enough space for your outdoor toys, there are three metal carports specifically engineered for this site to handle the snow load and wind speeds of our area.  The first is large enough for 3 full-sized RV's by itself and features a 50 Amp RV electrical hookup in the back.  It also has lights and outlets and overhead lighting.  The second carport sits back near the shipping container, and the third is in front of the garage for additional coverage and storage.  It would be feasible (and profitable) to store RVs in these carports over the winter and charge a monthly rent, as many people do not like to haul their campers home at the end of each season.  

The largest engineered carport measures 52'x30' with a 14' ceiling in the largest section (on the right-hand side where the 5th wheel is parked in the photos.)  The section to the left measures 12'x40'. The carport shown in the photo with the white car is a pull-through unit in front of the garage.

The outside of the home is beautifully landscaped with perennial flowers which the sellers typically water from their rain barrels and 1,000-gallon underground cistern.  The brand-new metal roof (April of 2023) has a gutter system that flows into these large collection containers and is perfect for watering outdoor plants.  A Simply Save security system AND a Ring Doorbell keep you connected to your home even when you are away.

Well permit # 246314 serves the home with plenty of fresh, clean, Rocky Mountain water.  (The well is not connected to the underground cistern, only the gutter system is. The well provides enough water for the seller's needs without the cistern which is used only for exterior watering.)  A septic system sits at the East end of the property and the home is heated by both propane (fireplace, wall heaters & forced air furnace) and a wood-stove.  There is also a small wood stove in the attached, insulated garage for your comfort and convenience.  The front of the home has new windows and a new well pump was installed in 2021.

Whether you're looking for a permanent residence or a vacation home, this property has the privacy you are looking for with easy convenience to town.  Good cell reception and excellent high-speed, wired fiber internet make this the perfect place to work from home .  While fully connected to the grid, excellent Southern exposure would also lend itself well to solar if you wanted to add a back-up power system.
