Luxury Villa with unobstructed Rocky Mountain & nature views in every direction

This unique Spanish-style villa was originally custom built as an artist's retreat for painting the stunning unobstructed landscapes that surround it in every direction. Situated on top of a rocky outcrop and surrounded by 10+ acres of undeveloped land, this perfectly positioned home features 3 porches and a huge stone patio with chairs and tables. Enjoy the spectacular sunrises, sunsets, Colorado wildlife views, distant storm clouds, and nighttime stargazing at the Milky Way without background light pollution. Only 1 mile from the charming town of La Veta, Colorado with skiing, golf, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, art, festivals, and more nearby. Your Highway of Legends National Scenic Byway journey starts here!
3 huge bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, two large sitting areas including a Great Room with 85" smart TV, fiberoptic GB internet, a stage area, an office with amazing 270-degree views, a chef's kitchen with premier appliances, an elegant dining room and table that seats 10, and featuring museum-quality custom art by acclaimed artist Joan Hanley. Heated floors throughout, and air conditioning in master bedroom.

Nice stay with excellent views and privacy. Plenty of mule deer. Lots of birds. Saw a red fox. And could view Prong horns in the distance. Some nice restaurants a little over a mile away from the house.

Beautiful Property

This home is exactly as pictured on VRBO. The home is absolutely beautiful and spacious. The home was built by a talented artist. You will find her art throughout the property. The view of the mountains at this property are incredible. Peter was easy to contact and communicate with. You won't be sorry when you stay at this fabulous home.

Perfect wonderful and just right for us!!!

What a wonderful place for us to all come together for my nephews wedding, beautiful spacious home. This was my first rental on VRBO so didn't really know what to expect. We pulled up and it felt like home. Joan was there to greet us and show us the place. The patios were wonderful and comfortable. The views just beautiful. It was everything that listing said would be and more. The home was filed with art work and just stunning. I would stay here again. We have a very large family and we gathered for meals, games and just to hang and talk.

Unbelievable Views from Every Room

Our family of four rented this house for Thanksgiving to get away somewhere secluded and pretty, and we were absolutely blown away. There are gorgeous, unobstructed views of the mountains in every direction and the house has plenty of space around it for privacy. We absolutely loved our stay and even experienced visits from deer and a fox while we were there. The heated floors kept everything nice and warm even though it snowed mid-week, and there's plenty of sun exposure during the day to keep the living spaces heated. The house is very well appointed and we were able to cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner without difficulty. There's plenty of space to spread out and lots of art throughout the property to enjoy. The property owner was very responsive and kind, and accommodated all of our requests for health and safety with regards to COVID-19. We would gladly stay there again in the future, and highly recommend it.

Phenomenal home in beautiful mountain setting

This property is hands down the loveliest vacation home we have rented over the years. The setting is immaculate.. There really are 360 degrees of breathtaking views.. The photos are great but don't do it justice. The host (Peter Bartos and family) was responsive & very helpful, but otherwise left us to ourselves. Joan Hanley's art graces the home and exterior. The architecture is open, with lots of light, yet plenty of private spaces, and no shortage of restrooms. We came with two grandparents, and three young children in tow. Everyone had a wonderful time and would come back in a heartbeat. There's lots of hiking, art, and other outdoors activities in the La Veda / Cuchara area. Overall, this place is just a hidden gem for anyone who is seeking a bit of clean mountain air and a break from the hustle and bustle. I sincerely hope other visitors treat this place with respect so that the Bartos family will continue to offer it as a vacation rental.

Beautiful Property!

Lovely home in a small, peaceful town in Colorado. Large and spacious for our family of five. Seeing the deer and wildlife was a highlight of our trip. It is hard to come up with "dislikes" about this home. At times the internet was slow, didn't bother me, it made the kids read more. The home for the most part does not have Any window shades or blinds. This means bright sunlight streaming through the windows, and little privacy, although honestly privacy is not needed with the location of this home. I suspect this was done on purpose, as the home has breathtaking views from most windows. As a side note the downstairs part of the home (separate entrance) is occupied by the manager / caretaker? of the home. Didn't bother us at all, but maybe it would some....Lovely, lovely time, and definitely recommend to anyone wanting to reconnect with family, and be in a peaceful, quiet, residence, surrounded by nature.

Our Villa stay @ La Veta

The property exceeded all our expectations. It was referred to as a Villa and it lived up to everything this name exudes. The property is beautiful and the views of the Spanish Peaks and surrounding area from the vantage point it is situated on are gorgeous. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this property without hesitation.

This house was amazing! The views of the lakes and wildlife were stunning, and the inside, artistic design was quite inspirational! We ventured out in a different direction each day to explore the nearby trails in different parks and enjoyed eating at the local restaurants. We will definitely be back!
