Living off the grid is wonderful in this beautiful unique Idaho Springs home. With a local view topped by the Squaw pass area peaks, and nothing but peace and quiet, it hard to believe that I-70 is just 5 minutes away on county maintained roads. While huge passive solar rock walls help keep this home warm when it's cold & cool when it's warm they are the pillars of strength in this structure. Combining Japanese design inspiration makes this home architecturally interesting with sunken living room & elevated kitchen. There are 7 levels here from the 500 sq. ft. walk-out basement to the loft office with private deck which is accessed through a fantastic master suite. The slate, marble, and Brazilian cherry floors are radiantly heated, although the three wood stoves keep the house toasty all winter long. The property is 4.6 acres of which half is across the road and a completely different environment with a seasonal stream, pond and a meadow which would be a great place for horses.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
