A truly unique, lovingly-built, off-grid home privately located on 7.62 acres just outside of Paonia on Back River Rd. The owner spent five years building this adobe, earth bag home forming it into a masterpiece, with many creative touches. The home is solidly constructed with 17 inch thick earthen plastered walls. You will be amazed at how quiet the house is inside! Beautiful 360 degree views and a lovely, heavily treed ravine with wildlife and year around running water especially noticeable during the summer months. Nothing like the sound of a stream! The home comes with a 2kW solar system... which includes 12 BP 170W solar panels, 24V HUB Solar One battery bank, an Outback 24V inverter, all meticulously maintained, and a Briggs and Stratton Elite Series 7000W back up generator for those cloudy winter days in a row. The owner has never regretted living off-grid! The property has a developed spring (well permitted for 3 homes and outdoor use) which provides ample water all year long for both the house and any outdoor irrigating. This green home was built using as much local material and natural products as possible, even milk paints. The floors vary from adobe, to bamboo, cork and cottonwood. Theres a Quadra-Fire wood stove which sufficiently heats the main living area, with lots of wood available on the property for future use, and back up in-floor heat or full time in-floor heat. Take your pick. This house has meticulous attention to detail, making it one of a kind, which will be evident when visiting the home. The property is clean, uncluttered and well-taken care of. All-in-all, a work of art!
