Prepare to be impressed by the craftsmanship on this custom built off grid home, conveniently located halfway between Villa Grove and Saguache in the beautiful San Luis Valley. Finished in 2016, the house runs on an Outback solar system, two 100 gallon propane tanks (there is a propane refrigerator, gas range, and Rheem on demand hot water system, and the home is plumbed for the addition of gas wall heaters), and a 550 gallon cistern with pressure tank and whole house filter. The cozy interior is finished with rustic wood trim, large windows and a vaulted ceiling, with a spacious loft bedroom above that includes a private balcony facing east to the stunning Sangre de Cristo range - a great morning coffee spot! A unique catwalk (hung from 400-lb rated cables) leads to a smaller loft area perfect for a workspace, reading nook or storage. The finished addition off the main living area is great for lounging with friends. Covered decks wrap around 3 sides of the home, adding lots of outdoor living space for stargazing or taking in the many views. The kitchen features tile counters and solid oak cabinets, and a small but charming full bath and bedroom /office space complete the main level. A stackable washer/dryer hookup is located under the loft stairs. This home is built to withstand the San Luis Valley seasons with 2x6 construction, R21 insulation (plus 1.5" styro board and house wrap) and R30 insulated floors. The exterior is clad with reclaimed metal siding from a barn in Missouri. Two outbuildings house the solar system, a large tool shed and storage area, and a dog run. The included well permit allows for additional dwellings, a garden area, and/or livestock - and the trench is dug to connect a well line to the pressure tank, filter and cistern under the house. All this sits on a rolling 35 acres, fenced on 3 sides, with NO COVENANTS or HOA. Enjoy the freedom to keep building the homestead of your dreams or just soak in the peaceful quiet of this special valley.
