About this property

Black Lake Mountain Retreat. The rural setting welcomes birds and bird watchers.

Attached two story house in a quiet rural area situated between forest and meadow which teems with birds and hawks, and is visited by deer and elk and the occasional coyote. I garden with native plants and encourage visits from a variety of birds. Which use the 40 foot spruce as their own apartment. A pair of red tail hawks hunt in the back pasture. You can catch them on camera while having coffee on the back porch.

Centrally located in the Moreno Valley/Black Lake area at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains it is an easy drive to a variety of interesting day trips. See Charley's Hideaway Guest House (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550969463137) for more details and seasonal updates.

The main floor is an open plan with large living area with wood burning stove. It opens into a gourmet kitchen and family dining. Meals can be prepared without leaving the discussion of the day's adventures.

Driveway ample for two vehicles but not motorhomes.
