Property Description

Escape the ordinary and discover a life where supreme energy efficiency meets mountain luxury! This custom-built, energy efficient straw bale home is poised on 5 private acres just outside of historic Fairplay, bordering Public Land for immediate access to the outdoors! The location of this quiet sanctuary is unbeatable, placing you minutes from world-class fishing on the South Platte River and hiking/biking trails in the National Forest, with easy drives to Breckenridge for skiing and to Buena Vista/Salida for white water river rafting and soaking in natural hot springs. Inside this beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence, you`ll find elegant porcelain Spanish tile floors kept perfectly warm by radiant in-floor heating, leading to an open living room and kitchen featuring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is a chef`s dream with a stunning subway tile backsplash, ample counter space including an XL peninsula, and unique frosted glass cabinet doors with interior lighting. Luxury defines the bathrooms: the primary en suite includes a relaxing steam shower, and the secondary bathroom boasts a custom jacuzzi bathtub designed to comfortably accommodate someone up to 6`4! Practicality meets possibilities in the oversized attached 2-car garage / workshop / flex area, which features a high ceiling and in-floor radiant heat. The garage is even tall enough for you to add a lift if that`s on your wishlist! Outside, the gentle, wooded acreage is located on a very private and quiet cul-de-sac and includes a large greenhouse where you can try your green thumb at gardening or extend your storage or living space, completing this rare offering of sustainable living, luxurious appointments, and unparalleled access to Colorado`s best recreation. This is no cookie cutter home! You`ll be amazed at how quiet, warm and comfortable this amazing character-filled abode is!
