1115 Eagles Gate Rd

At 9,200 feet in elevation, this mountain home rests above the Wet Mountain Valley, where seasons roll through in quiet rhythm and sunsets ignite the Sangre de Cristo range with color. Purposely-built for high-altitude living, the home was constructed with solid 2x6 framing, spray-foam insulation throughout, and a 95/5 high-efficiency furnace designed to keep the interior warm and comfortable when winter settles in. In-floor plumbing helps protect against freezing temperatures, while a high-producing well paired with a 1,000-gallon cistern provides dependable water through changing conditions. Inside, sunlight moves across tongue-and-groove vaulted pine ceilings and pours through expansive windows that frame ever-changing mountain views. The kitchen anchors the living space with epoxy-finished counters, custom cabinetry, and an open layout well suited for everyday living or gathering with family and friends. In the great room, a Hearthstone wood stove adds warmth and ambiance, creating a natural place to slow down and reconnect. Just beyond, the Trex deck extends the living space outdoors, offering a front-row seat to morning coffee, starlit evenings, and the quiet presence of wildlife moving across the land. The main level includes four bedrooms and two baths, each offering a peaceful place to rest after a day spent outdoors. Below, a spacious lower level provides room to grow, complete with a partially finished bath and flexibility for future use. A 900-square-foot garage offers practical space for vehicles, tools, or a workshop. Set on 35 acres, the land is open and usable, welcoming horses and domestic pets. A grazing lease helps keep property taxes manageable. Here, the value isn’t measured in flash or excess, but in peace, self-reliance, and the rare luxury of space and perspective. This is a home that stands steady, designed for its setting, and ready for those who seek a quieter, more grounded way of living in the mountains. Call today to schedule a showing.
