Back on the market! No fault of the Seller. Discover the perfect blend of sustainability, privacy, and charm with this truly unique 4-bedroom, 2-bath Davis Caves earth-sheltered home. Thoughtfully built into the hillside, this energy-efficient residence offers year-round comfort and lower utility costs while blending harmoniously with the natural landscape. Nestled on a generous 1.46-acre lot directly across from scenic Meadow Valley Park, this spacious home boasts a warm and inviting layout. The conversation-style family room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace—ideal for gathering with loved ones. An oversized garage provides ample storage and workspace, and an additional large shed is perfect for housing lawn equipment and tools. Enjoy the self-sufficiency of a private well and septic system, and relish the peaceful, tucked-away setting with the convenience of nearby park access. Homes like this rarely come to market—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of architectural innovation and sustainable living. Central AC is there but currently not working. Home tends to stay pretty cool being mostly underground. Not your traditional financing options. Talk to your agent about your options.
