Surrounded by untouched public land you will experience the true gift of Colorado. From the house’s mountain perch the views of the big sky can be enjoyed from sunrise to sunset and beyond for magical star gazing. We planned for this home to be ours, every detail of this home was built with intent and love. The feeling here is truly special. We hope you enjoy it. Sincerely, The Busch’s The space This is a brand new house. Two main bedrooms and a bunk room. The bathroom has a beautiful large shower. There is a great patio that overlooks thousands of acres of untouched mountain. It’s all yours. Guest access All yours. Other things to note The driveway can be an adventure for some. It is a mountain road - a real Colorado experience. Any reasonable vehicle will make it up and down just fine but some folks may want to bring a change of underwear 😅. If that 1950s truck in the photo didn’t have a problem then your vehicle won’t either. It’s not required, but if you have 4x4 please use it and also go slow to keep the road in good shape. \*\*\*During the winter months the road may become impassable and you may have to hike up the road to get to the house. This will be our first winter with the property and we are still sorting out the snow/snow removal situation.\*\*\* ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95030000/95027800/95027718/w1017h683x3y0-2a2f4639.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Palisade's sweetest little place.
