Description

Natural living YOUR way! Escape the ordinary with this custom-built, Earthship-style home designed for self-reliance and sustainable living. Nestled on 35 acres with well-maintained dirt road access, this 2,600 sq ft home blends off-grid functionality with modern comfort. Powered by 20 owned solar panels and a 9kWh battery system, the home can meet up to 100% of your electricity needs-with grid backup for added peace of mind. Water independence is yours with a 12,000-gallon rainwater collection system sourced from both the home and the adjacent 2,400 sq ft garage/shop. Just one inch of rain or snowmelt can yield nearly 2,000 gallons! An 800 sq ft attached greenhouse not only provides passive heating and cooling, but also gives you the ability to grow fresh fruits and vegetables year-round. Enjoy the freedom to explore and hunt deer, elk, and turkey on your own property-or venture directly into the San Isabel National Forest, which borders the west side of the lot. Soak in panoramic views of Pikes Peak, Lake Pueblo, and the twinkling night lights of Pueblo, Pueblo West, Canon City, and Penrose. Modern conveniences include fiber internet (installation expected by late April 2025), CAT5e wiring throughout the home and garage, and a gated community with private National Forest access for unmatched peace and quiet. Property taxes remain low thanks to a community cattle grazing lease. The expansive garage/shop fits 6+ vehicles, plus your boat, ATVs, and other toys. There's also level RV/camper parking right beside it. The property is in a gated community and has its own canyon running through it. Backing up to BLM land (with private access)... no one will ever be able to build behind you! Everything you need-self-reliance, big skies, wide-open space, modern connectivity, and ultra-low utility bills-all can be yours with traditional mortgage financing. This is the homestead you've been waiting for. Live consciously!
