Lamborn and Landsend Peak, here every moment feels connected to nature. The expansive country lawn overlooks hundreds of acres of open farmland, offering peaceful, panoramic views of the surrounding agricultural landscape. Mature trees shade the property, while historic elements—like the original barn once used for student horses, add to the storybook setting. The home itself features spacious and inviting interiors, including two large bedrooms, a sunlit farmhouse-style dining room that seats twelve, a cozy family room open to the kitchen and casual dining area, and a charming historic office library perfect for work or to unwind. The home is being sold fully furnished and move-in ready. With two shares of Stewart Mesa Canal water, the property offers both beauty and utility. The massive walk-out basement spans nearly 2,400 square feet and provides an exceptional opportunity for expanded living—whether you envision a second residence, guest suite, studio, or short-term rental unit. A rare and remarkable opportunity to own a true piece of Paonia's history. Its story, setting, and soul make it a legacy property. Whether you're dreaming of a boutique short-term rental, a wellness or artist retreat, an event venue, or simply a peaceful mountain getaway, the Stewart Mesa Schoolhouse offers an unmatched, one-of-a-kind canvas for your vision.
