About this property

Dog Friendly • Pond • Private

  • Star Mesa is on 5 private acres that stretch like a thousand. This is what wide-open mountain living feels like.
    Wake up to the Sangre de Cristo peaks dominating your view. Step outside to your *private pond*—where the only sounds are wildlife moving through and the kind of silence most people forgot exists.
    The stars here? Unreal. Zero light pollution, infinite sky. This is what people mean when they say "dark sky country."
    A massive fenced yard means pups can run, explore, and be *fully* off-leash without you worrying. This isn't just dog-friendly—it's dog heaven.
    Star Mesa isn't a place you visit once. It's the place you come back to, again and again, because nowhere else compares.

    This beautiful log home includes:
    ~ two bedrooms, each with a queen size bed
    ~ a kitchen built for entertaining with a large entertainment bar and an open living/dining area
    ~ new gas stove/oven
    ~ front deck with a porch swing and amazing views of the 'Twin Sisters' peaks, and a large covered back deck with views of the pond and hills beyond.
    ~ 2 well behaved dogs are welcomed
