    Western Colorado Log Hill Dream! Ever think about sustainable living or efficiency living compared to just your average stick built home? If so this home may be the answer to your sustainable living dreams! This 2 bedroom, with additional non-conforming bedroom or office may be your perfect fit. The home blends a passive solar front, 520 sq ft, that heats the home along with a wood stove and a back up forced air heater. This earth berm home sits on just shy of 37 acres on Log Hill in Colorado. Living in a berm home offers a unique blend of comfort, sustainability, and efficiency that many homeowners find deeply rewarding. One of the primary advantages is energy efficiency—thanks to the natural insulation provided by the earth, berm homes stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which significantly reduces heating and cooling costs. The surrounding soil also provides excellent soundproofing and protection from extreme weather, such as high winds or hail. Many people appreciate the privacy and sense of seclusion berm homes offer, as they often blend harmoniously into the landscape. The design also appeals to those who value eco-friendly living, as berm homes tend to have a lower environmental footprint. With their earthy, grounded feel and cozy interiors, berm homes provide a tranquil and safe retreat, making them a highly enjoyable and practical living choice. Now add in the ability to live without covenants and you have a win win combo. But wait….. here are the extra exciting additions to this property. 1 huge shop/garage combo and another large garage gives the buyer of this property a place to park any toy or work on any type of car or motor. Large shop has heater with runs by propane that allows year round area to work or tinker in. No covenants allow you to use the property with your own personal desires. Also huge carport to fit motor home or several other types of cars or tractors. Other outbuildings such as storage and wood shed balance out the outbuildings close to the home.
