Description
Think you have to live in spartan surroundings to live off-grid? Think again. This hand-crafted, solidly built home is well-appointed with tongue and groove ceilings, custom-milled knotty pine walls, ceramic tile floors that look out a 20' tall wall of windows to unbelievable views. A quintessential, hilltop setting on 35 acres with boundless views is frequently sought after, yet rarely found. 360 degree views take in Pikes Peak, Buffalo Peaks, The Collegiate Peaks and Sawatch Range, the 10-mile range, and even parts of the Sangre de Cristos. Add to that, this completely hybrid off-grid, energy-self-sufficient compound includes plenty of solar and wind generation to support normal household activities. Don't worry, it even has a back-up, propane generator tied to the main electric panel, just in case. The current owner only starts it up to lubricate the engine a couple of times per year. The attached greenhouse at the basement level regulates the home's temperature. This combined with the passive solar design ensures the home never freezes in winter, if maintained correctly. Want to grow tomatoes year round? You can do it here. Hot water baseboard heat moderates the greenhouse temperature, and hot air collected from the greenhouse can be circulated under the planting beds making year-round horticulture possible. Water stored in dozens of 55 gallon drums create a thermal mass to maintain desirable temperatures in the greenhouse. An outside, wood-fired boiler can deliver hot water to a heat exchanger in the conventional forced air-furnace in the home to reduce dependence on propane. You can cook on a propane-fire range in the spacious kitchen, or kick it up a notch and try your hand preparing biscuits and gravy on a Baker's Choice, wood-fired cookstove. High-speed, broadband internet makes working from here possible. This home is turn-key and move-in ready. Buy now and get your greenhouse ready for Spring planting. Don't miss the 3D, virtual tour!
