Description
Sustainable Living in the Rockies. Remarkable off-the-grid custom build with majestic views. Only 3 miles to I-70, and less than an hour commute to Denver; this three bed one bath home is sitting on 5 acres of pristine mountain terrain, and was built with efficiency and longevity in mind. You will love the incredible panoramic and un-obstructed views of Mt. Evans and the Continental Divide from every window. This is a super unique home and is completely self sufficient, eco friendly, off-the-grid Earthship. Earthships are unique in that they heat and cool themselves, collect and use rooftop water 4 times, grow food, and use largely recycled and upcycled materials for construction. The foundation is constructed from old tires, compacted with sand then has concrete on top of it. The foundation is built into the side the earth about 4-6 feet in width, making it like bomb shelter. The home is designed to live off the land; meaning you can recycle rain water, which gets cleaned and used in the faucets, then drains to the gardens. Currently this home uses a well for the water source, but has the potential to utilize rain water. Surrounded by Arapahoe National Forest this home offers the serenity of living in a mountain retreat. Enjoy the spectacular views and sounds of nature from the large patio with a covered pergola. Designed by renowned architect Michael Reynolds, there are only 4 of these homes in this area. Recreational opportunities are abundant with close access to skiing, hiking, fishing / hunting and 4 wheeling. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a stunning and completely self sufficient mountain retreat, with all of the convenience and amenities of Denver within reach.
