Looking for a quiet, peaceful, environmentally friendly, retreat nestled among the trees where you can hear the creek from your windows? This meticulously crafted, beautifully furnished, custom residence by straw bale home contractor Paul Koppana is worth a look! Sitting on 1.67 treed acres, the parcel backs to an enormous green belt where Willow Creek runs (and has soaking pools). That green belt then connects to the Rio Grande National Forest, giving you an enormous "backyard". Here the sun provides energy for the in-floor radiant heat and domestic use through an active solar system with backup electric tie-in. The south facing windows (2 years new) allow natural light, warmth, and nature to flow in. The primary suite is located on the west side of the home. It includes dual closets, an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and privacy from bedrooms 2 and 3 (located on the east side of the home). Chefs will enjoy preparing meals in the spacious kitchen. It features a walk-in pantry, beautiful concrete countertops, soapstone island, and counter seating for visitors. Those delicious meals can be served on the generously sized dining table (the home is being offered fully furnished). Then relax on the couch in front of the wood burning stove with your choice of history, philosophy, or English literature books from the extensive collection on-site. Four rooms are accented with hand sculptured nichos. The home is stair free and low maintenance with metal roof, adobe exterior, and natural landscaping. It is truly turn-key. Short and long term rentals are allowed. This home is not for those looking for a generic cookie cutter home. The ideal buyer will appreciate quality construction, tasteful furnishings, and a peaceful environment along a quiet road that is maintained year round. Did we mention the home comes fully furnished including Stickley furniture and oriental rugs? Be sure to check out the 3D tour and drone video for a complete look!
