This is it! You've found it! Tucked into mature Pinon and Juniper trees on 28 acres of quiet mountain land bordering National Forest, this unique Santa Fe-style home offers the kind of solitude that’s hard to find—yet it’s fully connected with grid-tied electricity, Starlink internet, and year-round county road maintenance. Roughly 40 minutes from town, it’s a true getaway without the off-grid complications. Built with intention and character, the home features salvaged architectural elements from Santa Fe, including historic columns and solid wood doors that bring warmth and authenticity to the space. The passive solar design—anchored by a wall of south-facing windows—naturally heats the home, while quality insulation and efficient construction help keep it comfortable year-round. Each room has its own electric heat source, with additional propane heaters in the living room and main floor bedroom. The layout is flexible and inviting, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Choose your primary suite: either the spacious main-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath, or the upper-level suite featuring a private ¾ bath and panoramic views in every direction. All windows offer a front-row seat to the surrounding wilderness—and the views are simply breathtaking. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. A stacked washer and dryer sits just off the kitchen for easy access. Downstairs, a naturally cooled pantry stays a steady 50 degrees all year—perfect for food storage and preservation. Outside, the year-round greenhouse is a major bonus, complete with power, water, a fan, and supplemental heat—ready for your gardening projects in any season. There’s also a fire pit for quiet evenings under the stars, with deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and the occasional bobcat often passing through the property or nearby meadow. The ground floor/basement garage includes a well-equipped workshop, extra storage, and an additional freezer. The home has been designed for durability and ease of maintenance, with 2x6 framing, 14" wood I-beam rafters, 5/8” drywall, and both blown-in and foam board insulation. Winterizing is simple if you plan to be away for part of the year. Most of the furniture is included, making it easy to move right in and start enjoying your own private mountain escape—where every window frames nature, and every detail supports a life of peaceful, low-maintenance living. Property is occupied. 24 hours notice required for all showings. Buyer's agents must accompany buyers on all showings and appointments.
