Escape to your very own off-grid paradise overlooking the Pike National Forest in the mountains above the town of Bailey, Colorado. Nestled amidst 8.5 acres featuring rock outcroppings, aspen groves and fragrant pines, this one-of-a-kind straw bale cabin with its natural insulation and earthy aesthetic seamlessly merges with the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape. It feels like it is a million miles away, yet high speed internet is available through Starlink and restaurants, shopping and groceries are only a 15 minute drive away. The straw bale construction insures a cool interior on hot summer days and cozy warmth on chilly nights. The wood stove creates the feeling of a classic cabin situated in front of live edge burnished wood mantle, while the radiant floor heat powered by its own solar array guarantees luxurious comfort. The extra tall windows welcome sunshine and breathtaking vistas. The open-concept design and well thought out pantry and extra storage means that you can stock up and enjoy your time however you choose. Don’t miss the sunset sending long shadows across the valley as you relax on the covered patio watching the stars pop out of a deepening blue sky. Hiking, biking, fishing, disk golf and more, are mere minutes away. Make it your mountain get-away or year round residence. Please do not drive up the driveway without an appointment and accompanied by a licensed real estate agent.
