Tarryall Historic Home Tour - I need Your Advice!
Hey everyone, Sunday I went on an historical home tour - and I found a fantastic home! I want to share all the fabulous features of this property with you, and see what you think before I put in an offer. Of all the homes I saw, this one really caught my eye! Until now, although I love historical properties, I've always thought of them as 'money pits', and have been afraid to buy one, but this one doesn't look so bad.
Like most historical properties, it will need a little work here and there, but I think I'm up to the task. Please let me know what your thoughts are on this - purchasing real estate is SUCH an emotional process, wouldn't you agree?
;)
Ammenities are as follows:
Light, open and airy
100+ year roof, and a lovely sun porch
Jack and Jill master bath
Architechtural details
2 Car garage
Outbuildings
Amazing 360 mountain views
Excellent school nearby!
The owner is even willing to leave some of the furnishings! WhooHaa!
So. What do you think? Should I take the plunge? LOL
This is actually the old Tarryall Post Office and General Store built in 1895, and was once the hub of a thriving community of lumberjacks, miners and their families. The old school house, originally built in 1898, was replaced by this larger building using the original bell and belfry in 1921. It still stands today, and is used for church services, weddings and funerals. These buildings are privately owned, and to my knowledge, not for sale.
Tarryall is gorgeous country - an amazing valley that stretches for miles at the base of the Tarryall Mountain Range. Everywhere I went, I saw free range cattle and horses all over this prime ranch land. Oh, how I love the west, and Colorado in particular!
This area is one of 11 National Natural Landmarks in the State of Colorado
The ranch house in the foreground is an old homestead. Amazingly built and preserved, it is two stories. Look how small it is in comparison to it's surroundings. These are SERIOUS mountains!
