Rare five-acre gem in Emma! Emmadale Farm takes its name from the railroad-era townsite of Emma, and the old word for a valley. Five flat, irrigated acres of horse property, a four-bedroom home, a heated barn/shop and two greenhouses give a grower, a maker, an artist, an equestrian or anyone with plans to grow, everything they need to begin, five minutes from Basalt and Willits, 25 from Aspen, Snowmass and Glenwood Springs, with the Rio Grande Trail at the edge of the pasture. The home, completely remodeled in 2011, with new windows in 2020 and later bath, deck and patio remodels, spans three split levels, with windows in every room and views of the valley east to west and Crown and Basalt Mountains south to north. The kitchen, dining and living room flow together on the main level around a gas fireplace faced in the stone the original family gathered by hand at the foot of Crown Mountain. Two en-suite bedrooms each have vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and a deck. On the upper level, the primary bath is appointed with a jetted soaking tub, a tiled steam shower and a double vanity; on the main level, the second was rebuilt with a double marble vanity, a tiled shower and floor, radiant underfoot, and its own laundry. A second living room on the level below opens to the newly tiled patio and its built-in outdoor fireplace. At garden level, two more bedrooms and a bath with their own kitchen and laundry welcome guests. Out back, the insulated, gas-heated 1,440-square-foot barn/shop has a garage bay for your farm equipment or hay storage, and a bathroom. A 2,100-square-foot greenhouse with a 12-foot door offers a myriad of uses; the 1,150-square-foot heated and cooled greenhouse is ready to grow. More than 50 mature trees, among them bearing apple, pear and plum, a 50-tree pine nursery for harvest in 2029 and a hay meadow sit on deep topsoil, watered by 0.2 cfs of senior Home Supply Ditch rights, a 20-gpm well and automated sprinklers. Keep your horses, paint, grow and arrange flowers, raise food and wash, pack and cool the harvest, or build furniture: the options are endless. The nearest neighbor is at least an acre away, and the stars are incredible. No HOA, an accessory dwelling unit allowed by right, and every structure sits on the Eagle County side, free of Pitkin County's square-footage cap on new construction and remodels. The next chapter is yours to write.
