Improvements

In 2024 the owner has meticulously remodeled this home, which has completely transformed it! The exterior of the home was painted including the outbuildings. New windows, roofing, exterior trim and doors. Inside you’ll find newer appliances, new floors, trim, counter tops throughout, new paint throughout, new bath tub, new shower and tile, new book shelves, new sheetrock in the living room, new light fixtures, and hardware. The list is so lengthy that it can not be adequately described here. There are two outbuildings that are older but still standing and functional. A two car garage/carriage, and loafing shed/hay storage building. A newer chicken coop was built in 2019 with fencing to keep predators out. There is a small pasture on the West end of the property that is almost completely fenced off and ready for horses. There is also a small pen for poultry.

Region & Climate

Canon City, CO is known as Colorado’s very own banana belt! It is not uncommon to see the mercury rise to 70 degrees in January. It is located pretty far from your typical snow covered mountain alpine terrain. Yet not that far, because you can be at Monarch ski resort within 1 hour and 37 minutes (approximately 81 miles away) for a morning of skiing. Or you can be at the airport in Colorado Springs in approximately 1 hour (48 miles) to catch a flight. Canon City offers most every luxury a big city offers without traffic jams and congested roads. A great place for those seeking a warmer climate with the beautiful hardscrabble mountains literally in your backyard. The Royal Gorge is too whitewater rafters as Mount Everest is too mountain climbers, located 10 miles up the road. The Arkansas river is just minutes away and is the life blood of Colorado’s Southern front range. If you want to setup a showing please call Will Norholm! CO-Brokers welcome!
