161 Gurley Drive Norwood, CO 81423

Overlooking a small working farm on the Uncompahgre Plateau on 35.56 acres lies this gorgeous custom home with incredible views of the San Juan and La Sal Mountains. Close to amazing skiing and minutes away for hunting and fishing. You feel as if you are part of everything and yet far from everything. The world is still close however with 50 Mbps for video conferencing and web networking (if you really must). It is a magical place that stills your mind, brings instant joy and reminds us to be grateful in the present. This home was built with high environmental ethics so all materials are reclaimed or locally sourced. Designed by Thielsen Architects who design with a holistic approach to environmentally sustainable architecture. The home is designed to passively cool and heat and also has in floor heat and two wood burning stoves. Solar panels provide electricity to the home. After a spellbinding Colorado stereotypical sunset, the house enjoys evening stories in a great room with hand-hewn beams that cannot get enough tall tales. Mornings, where quiet defines quiet, come slowly to being with sunrises that rival anything your heart has space to hold. Indoor and outdoor spaces are intentionally set to allow connection with the environment. The well appointed kitchen is the heart of the home with a large butcher block island that rolls with any occasion. Commercial grade appliances. Flooring is reclaimed oak. Siding, interior trim and trusses are reclaimed Douglas Fir. In floor heat throughout, motorized shades and so many wonderful touches throughout. This amazing property also has a large commercial kitchen building with it's own driveway and private from the main home with it's own living space. All this on a working ranch with 12 shares of Gurley water and numerous outbuildings, shop, and greenhouse included. Limited showing hours. Call for details.
