Description
Think you have to live in spartan surroundings to live off-grid? Think again. This hand-crafted, solidly built home is well-appointed with tongue and groove ceilings, custom-milled knotty pine walls, ceramic tile floors that look out a 20' tall wall of windows to unbelievable views. A quintessential, hilltop setting on 35 acres with boundless views is frequently sought after, yet rarely found. 360-degree views take in Pikes Peak, Buffalo Peaks, The Collegiate Peaks and Sawatch Range, the 10-mile range, and even parts of the Sangre de Cristos. Add to that, this completely hybrid off-grid, energy-self-sufficient compound includes plenty of solar generation to support normal household activities. Don't worry, it even has a backup propane generator tied to the main electric panel, just in case. 2025 updates include an updated basement bathroom complete with tile surround, and exterior paint. The attached greenhouse at the basement level regulates the home's temperature. Want to grow tomatoes year-round? You can do it here. Hot water baseboard heat moderates the greenhouse temperature, and hot air collected from the greenhouse can be circulated under the planting beds, making year-round horticulture possible. Water stored in a dozen of 55-gallon drums creates a thermal mass to maintain desirable temperatures in the greenhouse. An outside, wood-fired boiler can deliver hot water to a heat exchanger in the conventional forced-air furnace in the home to reduce dependence on propane. You can cook on a propane-fired range in the spacious kitchen, or kick it up a notch and try your hand at preparing biscuits and gravy on a Baker's Choice, wood-fired cookstove. High-speed, broadband internet makes working from here possible. This home is turn-key and move-in ready. Don't miss the 3D virtual tour coming soon!Show Description
