13 E Red Sky Ranch

Description

There is a place where time no longer hurries where mornings break slow and golden over endless fields, and the mountains on the horizon wear their snowy crowns like kings of old. It is here, on 41.65 acres of sun-warmed earth and whispering grasses, that master craftsman Alan Bain of Colorado spent a lifetime building not just a home, but a dream one lovingly hewn beam at a time, over twenty-five patient years. At the heart of this sanctuary stands a two-story country home, unassuming yet quietly magnificent, as if it simply grew from the land itself. Weathered wood and hand-finished stone frame a house that feels alive, steeped in the spirit of the old West. Inside, every detail speaks of devotion: the hand-carved railings, the rich textures of aged timber, the ironwork catching the light like glints of old treasure. Powered silently by solar energy with a generator on standby for backup, this is a home that embraces you as if it's been waiting for you all along. Climb the worn stairs and step out onto one of two second-story balconies, each a private portal to the world beyond. Here, the land unfurls in a 65-mile panorama of the White Mountain Range, a view so vast and untamed it stirs something ancient in the soul. At sunset, the peaks blush pink and gold, and the air turns sweet with the scent of earth and pine. It is a view that steals your breath and never gives it back. Across the yard, the barn stands proud, its silhouette etched against the sky. At 28 by 43 feet, it offers more than shelter, it offers stories. Three large covered stalls open into a broad aisle, built wide enough for the heart of a blacksmith's forge. Above, tucked under the sloping eaves, the barn houses a rustic bunkhouse: a refuge with a bedroom, a kitchen, a shower, and a common space where boots line up by the door and laughter drifts into the rafters. Step out onto the barn's grand second-story balcony, and the mountains reveal themselves once again, regal, majestic, alive with wind and song. A short stroll away, a charming 8x16 tool shed and workshop nestles beneath the trees, complete with a covered veranda perfect for quiet mornings or tinkering as the day unfolds. A sturdy roof extension shelters your tractor, keeping the heart of your land ready to work in every season. In the backyard, a warm cowboy barbecue stands as a reminder of a bygone time, where the scent of sizzling meats mingles with the evening breeze, evoking memories of campfires, laughter, and long summer nights spent with friends and family. The land cradles it all, two shimmering ponds, their surfaces kissed by the overflow of a high-yield water well; a sun-bleached round corral, ready for the dance of horse and rider; wide pastures rolling soft and green, fully fenced and whispering promises of freedom. This is not merely a home. It is a living poem, a place where the past and the future meet under a sky so wide it could hold all your dreams. Here, the only clock is the rhythm of the land. Here, every sunset is a benediction. Here, you do not simply live..... you belong.
