In the Wild Horse Mesa Canyon, only a small handful of homes exist, and all properties here are larger 35+ acres. At this home, you can sit on your 8' x 40' back porch like you never before dreamed to do, overlooking the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the vast valley below as you sip your beverage and just breathe. The windows and doors in this home are set across from one another to allow the cooler summer breezes to waft through the house for that peaceful mountain living feel. This is a one owner home, utilizing off-grid features such as a solar energy system, septic system and buried cistern. A 12KW generator will ensure the batteries can still receive a charge when the sun has a less than accommodating. An RV pad exists at the NE edge of the property with its own drive way. Winter nights can get chilly, in addition to the forced air furnace, the wood burning stove in the living room can generate enough heat to keep you toasty and a Rinnai heater in the primary bathroom can utilized there as well. This home shares the acreage with two other homes as tenants in common, meaning your property tax on the acreage is only 33% of the norm. Being at the northern edge of the property, it is considered that there are about 10 acres attributed to this home. Though it is rare to actually see them, larger animals in the area include mule deer, elk and black bear. The seller is offering a $5k carpet allowance to have the carpets stretched or replaced.

REMOTE, TUCKED AWAY, OFF-THE-GRID and abundant tranquility. This 37 acre property is both a corner lot and on a cul-de-sac! Watch for mule deer on the long meandering driveway. The seller had planned to build from the hilltop, overlooking the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. The area is still pretty much cleared. There are 3 structures on the property. A greenhouse turned into a bunk house, a 1.5 story round strawbale structure at about 8ft wide and a shed. There is an above ground cistern where water can drain from the bunkhouse into the cistern and then is brought into the sink via a bilge pump. The bunkhouse has multiple vents for fresh air and if it should feel too hot, you can just step into the strawbale building and soak up the coolness within. A nice fire circle and several raised garden beds are in place.
