Description

Set on 36 acres in the Colorado high country, this distinctive off-grid Earthship-style home offers privacy, self-sufficiency, year-round water, and the infrastructure for a true mountain homestead. Located in the Thousand Peaks subdivision between Hartsel and Fairplay, the property combines sustainable design, expansive views, agricultural zoning, multiple outbuildings, and approximately 600 feet of year-round Fourmile Creek. Designed for passive solar living, the home features tire-bale construction, south-facing windows, stone floors and walls that absorb and radiate warmth, and a wood-burning stove in the main living area. Aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings, natural stone finishes, and an open floor plan create a warm, rustic interior. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and a large island and flows into the dining area and indoor growing space. A 100-square-foot planter allows for year-round gardening. Generously sized bedrooms, a 12x15 loft, root cellar, utility space, and storage add flexibility. The property includes a private well feeding a 600-gallon indoor cistern and an upgraded solar system with solar arrays, a wind turbine, 16 batteries, two new charge controllers, a new inverter, additional solar panels, and a new generator. Welded steel structures include a garage, chicken coop, sheds, and livestock shelters, with fencing in place. Agricultural zoning supports animals, gardening, ranch use, or a self-sufficient homestead. Fourmile Creek adds a peaceful natural feature to the acreage, which also offers mountain and valley views, room to roam, and exceptional privacy. A professional survey with markers every 100 feet supports future planning. Conveniently located near Hartsel, Fairplay, Buena Vista, and Breckenridge, this Central Colorado property offers access to abundant outdoor recreation while maintaining the seclusion of rural mountain living. Ideal as a full-time residence, high-country retreat, working homestead, or off-grid getaway.
