Discover this extraordinary, ultra efficient Earthship-style home nestled on 35 acres. The full west side of the property borders BLM, the northwest side looks over Owl Canyon with breathtaking, panoramic views of Pike’s peak, Canon city, Penrose, Pueblo West, Pueblo and beyond. This home was built with self-reliance in mind. 20 owned solar panels and a Tesla Wall provide up to 100% of your energy needs, with grid back up for peace of mind. Grow your own produce in an 800 sq foot attached greenhouse, hunt for deer, elk, wild turkey and more, fish in close-by Lake Pueblo. Never worry about heating or cooling! Earthships naturally regulate indoor temperature, using the principles of passive solar heating in winter and cooling tubes through the back wall for summer cooling. Never pay for propane delivery, the home is all electric! Never haul water or worry about well mishaps! 12 thousand gallons of water storage is fed by fully legal and permitted rooftop rainwater collection. This is enough water for more than 9 months (at current owner’s usage). Plus, 1 inch of rainwater or snowmelt yields close to 2000 gallons of fresh water. The huge 2400 sq foot garage can accommodate 4 or more vehicles, plus your boat, camper, ATV, workshop, and more! Level RV parking adjacent to the garage for your big rig. Only a short 35-minute drive to Pueblo and a 40-minute drive to Canon City. Super fast fiber optic internet is already installed. All this and it qualifies for a traditional home loan. This is the home you’ve been looking for, ultra-low (or no) utility bills, low, low taxes (due to a neighborhood cattle grazing lease), super clean abundant water, indoor space to garden and lots of room to roam, hunt, or just enjoy the view! Welcome home! This is Natural Living --YOUR way!
