Adorable 2-Bed Home on 5 Acres with Sweeping Mountain Views – Glen Vista Gem!  This well-built 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on 5 acres checks all the boxes for comfort, durability, and postcard-worthy views. Constructed in 2018 with quality 2x6 framing, wood siding, and a solid block foundation, it was designed for efficient, year-round living and has been lovingly maintained by its original owner. From nearly every window—and especially from the covered deck—you’ll take in breathtaking panoramas of the Sangre de Cristo Range, as well as Deer Mountain and Lookout Mountain. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a fiery sunset, the setting is unforgettable.  The property is just as thoughtfully improved outside. A storage shed, covered wood storage, and a fenced dog run give you practical space for hobbies, pets, and gear, while the open, usable acreage offers plenty of room to garden, explore, or expand. A covered carport adds convenience and protection from the elements. Located only 0.2 miles from the paved road, the home has easy year-round access and is just minutes from the Deer Mountain fire station with EMS services. This property is part of the highly desirable Glen Vista community, with minimal POA dues and light covenants—giving you the freedom to enjoy the land without restrictive oversight.  Set in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley of Southern Colorado, this location is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy gold medal trout fishing, whitewater rafting, epic hiking, and rugged ATV terrain all close by. You’re within easy reach of thousands of acres of BLM land, the Royal Gorge, and Texas Creek OHV Park. When it’s time to enjoy town amenities, Cañon City, Westcliffe, and Salida offer shopping, dining, art, and small-town charm—all within an hour’s drive.
