Property Description
Colorado. This 1.5-story, 1,437 sq. ft. straw bale and adobe home combines sustainability with comfort, all set on a
sprawling 18.7-acre lot. Featuring 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, it's the perfect haven for those seeking privacy, natural
beauty, and a smarter way of living. Step inside to a warm and inviting interior highlighted by Mexican-style Saltillo tile
floors-valued for both their character and excellent thermal conductivity-paired with rich pine accents throughout. A
wood-burning stove anchors the living space, capable of heating the entire home through winter with just a single cord of
wood. Designed with sustainability at its core, the home features straw bale construction with 18" exterior walls and
passive solar heating via a beautiful solarium, ideal for year-round indoor gardening. Additional amenities include a dog run
off the back door, plus a 24x30 oversized 1-car detached garage/shop complete with its own wood-burning stove. Fire
mitigation was recently completed, ensuring peace of mind. Unique to this property are rare spring-fed, absolute decreed water rights, which feed an underground cistern connected to the garage. Here, you'll enjoy the tranquility of rural living with the
convenience of year-round access via county-maintained roads. Located just 7 miles from town, you're never far from a
coffee shop, grocery store, or dinner at a local restaurant. With ample acreage, the property is well-suited for horse
enthusiasts, remote workers seeking a quiet home office, or anyone dreaming of a sustainable retreat in the Colorado
mountains. This home isn't just a property-it's an opportunity to live more intentionally, blending comfort, privacy, and
energy efficiency in a truly remarkable setting.
