Escape to the Woods! Rustic vintage meets updated modern on 1.6 fully usable acreage walking distance to the Bear River. Lovingly restored and enhanced from top to bottom, this serene and private nature-infused homestead offers the perfect blend of wild beauty, modern amenities, artistic inspiration, and sustainable living. Located just 5 minutes from I-80, Colfax, and both schools (yet worlds away when home), the property features a 4 bedroom/2.5 bath main home with storage/workshop, guest cottage with full bath and kitchenette, wood-fired sauna, greenhouse/artist studio, and tuff shed. The secure perimeter is gated and deer fenced to protect the permaculture designed farm, complete with mature producing fruit and nut trees. Level parking provides space for a variety of vehicles including RVs. Golf cart and walking paths traverse the property, passing pollinator-friendly gardens and a forested zen area. High speed fiber optic internet and undergrounded electricity power the home, complete with Kasa smart switches. A 100% EPA compliant woodstove provides the winter heat while the home's intentional design allows passive cooling in the summer. You'll enjoy the splendor of all 4 seasons at 2,200 elevation with stunning canyon ridge views. Unique, rare opportunity. Move in ready!
