Property Description
Welcome to 1163 Morning Star Drive, an amazing, secluded & peaceful property within the Morning Star Ranch community. Paved roads bring you to the property line of the home, set on 38.12 acres with panoramic mountain views, birding, hiking & e-biking from your home. This beautiful 2,699 sq. ft. home has view windows & doors throughout, with a balance of privacy, comfort & space, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and many updates throughout the home. Since Morning Star is a ranch, you are only taxed on 5 of your 38.12 acres, with grazing rights for cattle 1/3 of the year. An auxiliary 30' x 40' steel building with roll-up & walk-in doors at each end, plus a 10' x 40' lean-to, provides endless flexibility as a workshop, extra storage, RV parking and/or hay storage/tack room--all with great views. The property also boasts a riparian area with cottonwoods, dramatic rocks, and most often surface water, making it a bird & wildlife magnet. Morning Star Ranch is on Liberty Water Co., plus 3 community back-up wells.
