Cozy log cabin on a working farm. Incredible views from the center of Paonia`s wine country. Within a mile are 4 premier wineries. Perfect hub for day trips to Crested Butte, Black Canyon, Grand Mesa, Historic Marble, Aspen, Ouray, Gateway and Telluride. Hiking, fishing, biking, climbing, SUP trips, rafting, and art galleries are but a few of the activities our valley has to offer. Get cozy and settle into this rustic space. Tim and PJ the farm dog will make you feel at home.
Vineyards and small farms are all around my place. Being on the highway provides very easy access and the 10ft noise wall blocks highway noise and view.
