This unique and historic 57 acre property is located 15 minutes north of the western town of Westcliffe and directly across from the exclusive Maytag Mountain Ranch. This prime location gives you great access to the Arkansas River, Salida, Monarch Ski Area and Canon City not to mention Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Winding your way thru the secluded driveway you come to a country style, 3 story, 2,100 sq ft wood framed home that was built in 1980 that is perfectly situated in a tall stand of junipers with an excellent southern exposure. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths this home is quite comfortable and has plenty of room for your family and guests. The home is heated with a wood stove insert with supplemented electric heat. Also enjoy the wood burning fireplace in the master bedroom. In the kitchen you will find a built-in antique wood cook stove, electric stove and ample kitchen cabinets. The third floor consists of a large open room with full bathroom and would be excellent for a kids bedroom or a large office. Located on the premises is an oversized 2 car detached garage with a fenced in dog kennel between the house and garage. The gently rolling acreage offers mature stands of juniper and pinion pines along with a year round spring. The sub-irrigated pasture located in the northwest part of the property offers excellent summer grazing for your horses or a small herd of cattle. Tremendous views of the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains are waiting for you as well. In the past Juniper Ridge was known as the Hayden Place and was part of the historic Hook-Balman (T7) Ranch. The original house and out buildings which are still standing are part of the original homestead built by Lyman Hayden. Relatives of the Hayden family are buried in the nearby Hillside Cemetery and photos of the original homestead are published in historical books about the area.
