Discover the sustainability and tranquility of this 8.18-acre mountain retreat, nestled among mature trees, rock outcroppings and mountain views. The straw-bale construction helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, reducing energy consumption. The home's durable stucco exterior and newer metal roof provide long-lasting quality and low-maintenance ownership. Inside, the bright open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light from large windows and skylights. Beautiful Saltillo tile flooring adds timeless charm throughout. A bonus room offers flexibility for a home office or guest space. The bathroom features a relaxing jetted tub, while the stamped concrete patio provides the perfect place to entertain and take in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Featuring a newly upgraded solar system, a well with a 300-gallon water storage cistern and 1,000-gallon septic tank, this unique property offers the perfect blend of efficiency and comfort. Enjoy the crackle of the wood stove or the propane heat on cold snowy nights. Recent excavation work expanded parking and improved accessibility, while a new shed/workshop offers valuable space for tools or hobbies.
