Located on a quiet ridge with gorgeous views of the Wind River Range, this unique property offers incomparable privacy. The home sits at the end of the road on 4+ acres of land, and is surrounded on three sides by the Taylor irrigation ditch making this ideal for self-sustained gardening and the ability to have large or small agriculture animals (if the 22 acres is purchased with it). This custom straw bale home was originally built with off-grid capabilities and offers a simpler lifestyle. Stained concrete floors, radiant floor heating, timber framing, a small wood stove, and south-facing windows keep this house cozy in the winter. The bale-width walls and solar-designed windows keep it cool in the summer. Built with a temperature-efficient design, the home has on-demand hot water heaters, 3 bedrooms (one as an optional office), and two full bathrooms. In the master suite, you'll find a slipper tub room with cedar flooring and a wall shower. This little room has views of the mountains beyond and the pastures below. In the middle of the home, you'll find the elegant spiral staircase that leads through the timber beams up to the 2nd floor. The 3rd bedroom/office is accommodated with a private deck and has a 360 degree view of the mountains, sunsets, and Lander's world famous Fourth of July fireworks. Running along the south side of the house is another deck, built of trex, and sporting a timber-framed pergola. In good weather this deck can seem like another room of the house. The detached two-car garage is constructed of insulated panels and steel siding, and has a large built-in storage loft above it to keep the area below clear and open for cars or hobbies. You won't find a custom home like this, one that makes you feel like you have your own little private retreat just 15 minutes out of town and outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and camping. This is a must-see property that can accommodate a family or couple that would like a place to call home for many years to come. **There is also an option to purchase the surrounding 22 acres of pasture that surround this property below the ditch that would give the new owner water rights).
