A View You Won’t Find Twice

From the moment you step onto the deck, the setting speaks for itself. Positioned high above the Rio Grande, the home captures sweeping views of the river as it winds through the valley below, framed by the surrounding Colorado mountains.

With three levels and three river-facing decks, there’s no shortage of places to take it all in. Morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply watching the light change across the landscape—this is where time slows down.

Interior Features & Layout


Inside, the cabin has a classic Colorado mountain feel, with warm tongue-and-groove woodwork and vaulted ceilings. Expansive new windows bring in natural light and keep the river in view throughout the main living spaces.

The open layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a natural flow for gathering and entertaining.

The eat-in kitchen features:

  • Center island seating
  • Breakfast bar
  • Dedicated dining area

With the ability to sleep up to 19, the home offers flexibility for a wide range of uses.


Upstairs Sleeping Layout

The upper level is designed to comfortably accommodate larger groups.

Each of the two upstairs bedrooms includes:

  • A queen-sized bed
  • A set of bunk beds

A shared bathroom connects the two rooms, creating an efficient and functional layout.


Walk-Out Basement & Additional Living Space

The finished basement adds valuable living space and flexibility.

This level includes:

  • Game room / TV area
  • One bedroom
  • Laundry and utility room

The basement opens onto a stone patio, creating a natural extension of the living space and a perfect spot for evening gatherings, with the sound of the river below.
