About this 4 bedroom 2 bath house

Steeped in the early history of Rye and surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines, this beautifully restored home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Southern Colorado heritage. Originally built in the early 1900s by Hamilton & Nellie Ashley for their family, the home has remained closely connected to Rye’s history for generations. Rich with character and craftsmanship, this is far more than a home, it is a meaningful piece of Rye’s story. Situated on a spacious one-third acre corner lot, the property blends timeless mountain charm with thoughtful modern updates. Much of the original hardwood flooring has been restored, preserving the warmth and authenticity of the home’s early craftsmanship, while original wood wainscoting throughout portions of the home was created using locally grown and milled lumber by the Ashley family, offering character rarely found today. Inside, bright natural light, warm wood finishes, and inviting living spaces create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and welcoming. The flexible floorplan offers room for entertaining, relaxing, working remotely, or hosting guests. The remodeled kitchen features updated appliances and workspace, while updated electrical and a high-efficiency furnace provide modern comfort and peace of mind. Upper-level bedrooms capture the mountain atmosphere and views, while mature trees, natural boulders, and the peaceful setting create a true Colorado retreat. Located in the heart of Rye, with the post office and school nearby, the home also offers convenient access to Rye Mountain Park, San Isabel National Forest, Bishop Castle, Lake Isabel, and Lake Beckwith, with endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, horseback riding, camping, and mountain adventure. A detached two-car garage adds flexibility for storage, hobbies, or gear. Whether seeking a full-time residence or mountain getaway, this extraordinary property combines history, setting, and lifestyle in one unforgettable Rye home
