Welcome to my beloved home, a true labor of love that I’ve spent seven years transforming into a warm and inviting space. I purchased this property in 2017 when it was mostly unfinished, and it’s been an incredible journey bringing it to life. Eco-Friendly Living: This home is completely powered by solar energy, with 12 deep-cycle batteries that keep everything running smoothly. It’s a wonderful feeling to live off the grid while still enjoying modern comforts. The well is 200 feet deep with excellent water rights, providing water for three residential properties and irrigation for an acre of land. Spacious and Bright: With 14-16 foot ceilings and thick straw bale walls, the house feels open and welcoming. The 25-foot wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room fills the space with light and offers stunning views, especially magical in the summer when the Milky Way shines overhead. Enjoy 360-degree mountain views with stunning sunrises and sunsets. Inside the Home: Kitchen: I’ve crafted a cozy kitchen with custom Ikea cabinets, a new SMEG gas oven with six burners (2022), a propane fridge (2023), and a double basin sink. A utility room nearby provides additional storage space. Living Room: The heart of the home, perfect for cozy winter nights with the wood-burning stove. There are three cords of firewood on the property to get you started. Bedrooms: The main bedroom fits a queen-sized bed (easily accommodates a king), has a wood-burning stove, and hanging closet storage. The upstairs loft features a full bed, built-in shelving, and a picture window with a view of Ute Mountain. Bathroom: The bathroom offers a relaxing clawfoot tub, a shower with an extender, and an on-demand hot water heater. Copper accents on the vanity add a special touch. Nature Lover’s Dream: Just 5 miles from the Rio Grande Gorge, enjoy fly fishing, floating, or ice skating in winter. Nearby BLM land offers excellent hiking and exploration. It’s a 45-minute drive to Taos and 1 hour 15 minutes to Taos Ski Valley. Red River Ski Area is about 45 minutes away. Alamosa is 1 hour away. There's a gas station 15 minutes from the property. Practical Details: I’m selling the house partially furnished, making it easy to move in. Property taxes are approximately $500/year, and home insurance is with American Modern. Wifi is provided by Jade Communications; I had their basic plan ($60/month), which supports streaming on two devices. Higher-speed plans are available. Cell service is good with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and First Net. The dirt roads leading to the house are regularly graded, ensuring easy access. However, I recommend having an AWD or 4x4 vehicle. BEFORE CONTACTING ME, PLEASE BE AWARE: The house is shown only to serious buyers—those who can make a cash offer or have approved financing through a bank that specializes in off-grid properties. Traditional banks typically don’t finance off-grid homes as they are "non-conforming". Please note: appraisal and/or inspection costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I am using a real estate attorney and would prefer that you do too. I would prefer to NOT work with a real estate agent. As a final note, this area qualifies as a "healthcare desert." EMS services are over 25 minutes away, and the nearest hospital is about an hour away. Please consider this when factoring in your health and age. This home has been a sanctuary for me, and I hope it brings the same peace to the next owner. If you’re looking for a unique, serene place to call home, I’d love to show you around! Please do not call or text. Email me with your interest and any questions.
