Welcome to a rare opportunity in the heart of Capitol Reef Country-an extraordinary Torrey retreat with an approved short-term-rental permit already in place. Set on 1.03 private acres near the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park, this thoughtfully upgraded home captures panoramic red-rock views, unforgettable sunsets, cool 7,000-foot mountain air, and some of North America's darkest star-filled skies. Offering 4,047 square feet, the home features a primary bedroom and bathroom, half bathroom and a guest bedroom underway on the main floor with generous gathering spaces which provide comfort and flexibility for a primary residence, peaceful second home, or income-producing vacation retreat. The open floor plan showcases a beautifully appointed granite kitchen with abundant cabinetry, a large island, double ovens, an expansive dining area, and a sunroom with incredible views. Additional highlights include a cozy fireplace, spacious primary suite, main-floor laundry, and oversized 2-plus-car garage with a built-in workbench. The lower level offers a generous family room, large full bathroom, along with four additional secured rooms providing access to the furnace and hot water heaters with abundant space for a pantry, hobbies, recreation, and climate-controlled storage. Outside, expansive covered patios frame glowing sandstone cliffs and spectacular starlit evenings. Raised garden beds, mature landscaping, and over an acre of beautifully maintained property provide space for outdoor living, entertaining, trailers, and recreational vehicles. Adventure begins just beyond your front door, with nearby trails toward Thousand Lake Mountain and easy access to Boulder Mountain, Scenic Byway 12, and the hiking, fishing, mountain biking, photography, and sightseeing of Capitol Reef National Park. Return home to Torrey's welcoming restaurants, galleries, cafs, and community. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, luxury retreat, or permitted short-term-rental investment, opportunities like this are increasingly rare.
