Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a unique, modified Earthship home on 36 acres in the desirable Thousand Peaks subdivision. Designed for sustainable, off-grid living, this one-of-a-kind property features tire bale construction that naturally absorbs solar heat through south-facing windows. That warmth radiates through thick stone walls and floors, efficiently heating the home. A wood-burning stove with a decorative stone anchors the living room, and two additional stove hookups provide added flexibility. Inside, the open floor plan is warm and functional, with beautiful aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings and striking stone floors. The spacious kitchen offers a large island and flows into a dedicated dining room—perfect for entertaining. A 100-sq-ft indoor planter supports year-round gardening. The bedrooms are generously sized, and a 12x15 loft adds flexible space. A large utility room houses a 600-gallon cistern fed by the private well. The bathroom includes overhead storage, and an indoor root cellar offers extra space. The solar system—housed in its own utility room with shelving and a deep freezer—features two solar arrays, a wind turbine, and new AGM gel batteries. Outside, enjoy a patio, garden area, and multiple heavy-duty welded steel outbuildings: a garage, chicken coop, two sheds, and two livestock shelters. The land is zoned agricultural and has supported a working ranch. Fourmile Creek runs year-round through 600 feet of the property, adding both beauty and function. A professional survey with markers every 100 feet supports future planning. Ideally located between Hartsel and Fairplay, this home is under an hour to Breckenridge and Buena Vista, and about two hours to Denver. Whether you're seeking a high-country retreat, productive homestead, or full-time off-grid lifestyle, this property offers self-sufficiency, space, and unbeatable central Colorado access.
