Energy efficient and cozy, well maintained home with all open floor plan in Sangre de Cristo Ranches. It sits on just over five acres, with mature pinon trees. Inside 1178 sf, outside 1395 sf. The many double pane Pella windows offer ever changing, front seat VIEWS of the high peaks in every direction, so beautiful. Radiant floor heat is in place, but it is not connected to the Rheem on demand propane water heater. The Morso wood stove keeps the house more than warm enough. The lovely and spacious sun room with a wall of windows and two doors, to the east and west decks, may be your favorite place in the house! The 2 sets of sliding doors from the dining area and the living area into the sun room provide privacy if needed. You will find cozy nooks with storage off the kitchen, in study, bedroom and living room; one nook is 3' deep and could provide extra sleeping. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances; cooking range, fridge, dishwasher and a small microwave in the mudroom. Lots of storage. The bedroom, with a wall of closets, is open to the study area. The king bed and 14" memory foam mattress will stay at no cost to the buyer. The north and west walls have straw bales for extraordinary insulation. There is a large amount of fire wood and a nice log splitter. Buyers can buy these items if someone else has not bought it before them. This lovely home is completely off grid with a 24 KW solar setup, outback inverter, 4 L16 batteries and a 3 KW Honda generator. No bills! There is 'line of site' Internet, and fiber optic Internet is also available. There are 2 cisterns of 1200 gallons each, 2400 gallons total and a pump. Trinchera Ranch, just down the road, delivers potable water at 10 cents per gallon plus added mileage. The metal roof is built extra sturdy, with twice the number of straps on the beams, ice shield under the roof and insulated with 8" rock-wool.
