RE/MAX Cimarron

At Cimarron Realty we are very proud of our listings. From time to time we’ll be highlighting properties that have special characteristics and features we think the world should know more about. The craftsmanship and care that went into the following property is worth taking a close look. The owners did a remarkable job with this property and it shows through in every detail.

This 13,000 + square foot home is on 27 acres of the most beautiful land this area has to offer. Compared to similar homes in the region this is a remarkable value. The listing broker is Adam Trujillo if you’re interested in getting a first hand account of the listing.

Craftsmanship

When I first had a chance to visit this property I was impressed with the way the rugged features tied together so cohesively through this large estate. The hand hewn timbers and stone look like they’ve been there forever yet they compliment the modern features very nicely. This house isn’t a cheesy adaptation of someone’s idea of what a mountain estate should be - it is a mountain estate through and through!

Another thing that impressed me was the timelessness of the home. Sometimes when we evaluate properties you catch a glimpse of how it’s going to look in ten years to a new owner or visitor - perhaps a little outdated and out of touch. Not the case with this property! The materials, layout, and details have been expertly chosen and implemented throughout the property.

Remarkable Features

To start with I’d be remiss if I didn’t once again point out the incredible materials used throughout the estate: Rock gathered from the property used on the interior and exterior, massive timbers used as structural components, distressed walnut flooring, custom poured concrete countertops, it goes on and on. Overall I get the impression that I’m in a very warm and inviting home despite its spacious layout. I think this has to do with the amount of natural materials used throughout the house.

It also has some amazing modern touches. It has complete home automation. You can actually monitor the house while on vacation via the internet. All the appliances are highend stainless steel and the house has an incredible whole home entertainment system. Here’s a different one: Both of the master bedroom suites actually have a kitchen (kitchenette) in them!

There is a lot to say about this home in regards to its features. If you’re not going to read any further please skip to the bottom to request a very informative and colorful brochure that has a ton of pictures and all the features.

Views

Everything about this property is phenomenal but what really takes the cake is the view!

Here in Ridgway, Colorado and the surrounding areas the most precious commodity we have is the views. When people get together to talk about their homes or land they just bought you’ll often hear, “How are the views?” Well, in this case….AMAZING!

The views from this house are 180 degrees of pure San Juan Mountain majesty! The vista also includes striking views of the valley and the varigated hills and textures that make this area such a gorgeous place to live. This is why people come from far and wide to live and play in this area - the view, views, views!

“In the case of RE/MAX International, the franchise company gleaned information from Google Analytics* about consumer behavior at the site that aided a major redesign. And analytics have continually guided further refinements in site design and functionality.

One of the many benefits of being associated with the RE/MAX International brand is the cutting edge technology the company features. One example of this is the recent news story Inman News ran showcasing RE/MAX using google analytics to totally revamp their online real estate search engine portal www.remax.com.

At our local office we have done something similar. We hired Lead Equity, a web site marketing consulting firm, to totally revamp our office website www.cimarronrealty.com. Many companies, in particular sales companies, think a few flashy photos and a virtual tour are what make web sites great. The firm at Lead Equity educated us on the importance of intuitive sites, analytics to track visitor activity, and original fresh content. Taking these things into consideration greatly enhance our ranking in all the major search engines.

We are very excited about the innovations at the RE/MAX International site, as well as our own local company site. It’s just one way we can assure our clients that we are doing everything possible to get their properties the highest exposure possible. If you’d like to know more about our revamped internet marketing strategy please contact me with questions.

*Google Analytics is a simple piece of software that reports anonymously on visitor behaviour while visiting our site. This allows for the fine tuning of website content and internet visibility.

Unfortunately True Grit Days, Ridgway’s newest summer time festival, has been cancelled this year. I’m not sure how John Wayne would feel about this but I know we here at the RE/MAX Cimarron office would really love to see it happen next year! Here’s a quote from the Telluride Watch about what happened…

“The chamber is disappointed that we cannot further promote the Town of Ridgway through this event,” the chamber announced in a press release. Organizers had hoped to build on the success of last year’s event, which drew an estimated 3,500 people to Ridgway.

Chamber representatives said that funds sufficient to hold the event have not been obtained thus far. They said that the chamber would like to thank those who did provide financial support for this year’s event. Plans for the 2009 True Grit Days are pending.
