Their rugged beauty adds a unique touch, as do the custom stained-glass windows, brick herringbone floors and artwork. A rough plank walkway connects the main home with the 2 bed, 1 bath guest house with workshop, which meanders into a light-filled studio/bonus room, library, and your very own chapel.
Seeking to "communicate the infinite thrill and rapture of God's creation," in his paintings, renowned western artist and photographer R. Brownell McGrew selected the location of the 38 Bar Ranch to inspire his work. The serenity of the desert southwest and the rugged beauty of the region influenced his vivid depictions of everyday life in the region. In 1972, McGrew purchased this property because of its exceptional beauty and unrivaled privacy. At an elevation of 7,000 feet, the land produces native grasses, pinon pine, juniper and solitude - an artist's dream. 4 working wells serve the humans and animals well, and original settlers' cabins dot the landscape. Only one other family has owned this property since 1993, enjoying the main house with office and a library, as well as the west wing guest house, featuring a workshop, library, studio and chapel.
Pads and utilities for two mobile home sites. is fenced and cross fenced and includes RV garage and carport. Appraised at $2.2M Dec. 2019.
