Positioned a short and scenic drive north of Canon City, via the awe-inspiring Garden Park Road, you’ll find the Red Rock Retreat. This property is located on what could be the most unique and private lot in the larger Dilley Ranch gated development. The Southwestern style home is ideally placed on a 37.45-acre tract that contains distinctive red rock formations surrounded by pine covered rolling hills, two seasonal flow creeks and native grass meadows. Elk, Mule Deer, White Tail Deer and Turkey are recurring visitors to the parcel. Hiking or ATVing the property is likely to become a daily occurrence for a new owner and there are over 600,000- acres of public lands nearby for further exploration.

The impeccably maintained home totals for approximately 3,100-square feet and is of a ranch-style design with a walk-out basement (fully finished). The floor plan consists of a master bedroom suite with five-piece bathroom on the main level with (2) additional bedrooms and full bathroom on the lower level. Note that the lower-level bedrooms are considered non-conforming due to the absence of dedicated closet space. The main level features an open design kitchen and living room with rustic pine ceilings, log beams, hand-built cabinetry and doors, stone hearth and wood burning fireplace, powder room/half bathroom off the main entrance and a laundry room adjoining the kitchen. From the living room or master bedroom, you can access the large deck that provides sweeping mountain views to the south and east. The lower level also contains an office and sizable open living area that accesses a covered patio and open parking area. Other home features include a low maintenance stucco exterior and metal roof, xeriscape/natural landscaping, attached (3) car garage, large stone patio with outdoor fireplace off-of the kitchen, hot tub, stainless steel appliances, blue granite wood burning cook stove and fixtures and details that complement the architectural style throughout. Water service to the property is provided by a strong producing domestic well (10 gpm) and complimented by (2) in-ground water storage cisterns for ready storage and fire protection purposes.

In addition to the home, there is a (2) stall lean-to structure that can be utilized for either livestock stalls or equipment storage, a large chicken coop and garden plot. There is an approximate 1.0-acre fenced area adjacent to the lean-to that can serve as a livestock holding pen or turnout. The combination of the lean-to, fenced areas and dedicated water make this a “horse ready” property. Additional possible uses would include a small horse rescue, monthly boarding operation and/or training facility. For the avid horseman, there are numerous public land trails within easy trailering distance along Garden Park Road.
