Nestled in the Datil Mountains of New Mexico is this private & peaceful property. You drive up the winding driveway, unable to see the residence. Peering around the last bend you see the 16 foot tall solar deck housing the PV solar array above the trees. Next to the solar deck is the cabin, all 402 square feet of tininess. 9.35 acres of Pinyon-Juniper woodland, ~7600 ft. The property is 1 lot from the BLM. The property is heavily treed, providing a huge wind & weather block. A short hike to the plateau of the property = 30+ mile views. This property needs to be finished. The cabin is 3 rooms = 402 square feet. 3 outside walls have been sided in pine board and batten. The kitchen remodel is almost complete. The fridge, a 19cuft E-Z Freeze propane = $2700 new. The Premier propane stove is new ($600). The 30" sink & fixtures are new & built in soap dispenser. The plumbing is new PEX tubing. The floor is engineered hickory hardwood, also new. The drywall was redone and a beautiful texture added, paint is new. The ceiling fan and light is new. The kitchen cabinets are all custom hand made by me from re-purposed solid pine that we had in storage. The windows are 4'x6' thermo-pane glass, large views and still efficient. The front door is a new steel door, with twin panes of glass & a sliding blind on the interior of the glass, another Energy Star feature. Door is new. Kitchen needs trim out, ceiling (we were thinking T&G pine or metal), and counter tops. Lighting in the kitchen is both 12V & 110V LED, huge power saver for the off grid system. The living room houses the battery bank, controller and inverter. T-111 walls, floors are plywood with 2-1/2" thick DOW foam insulation topped with 1" thick OSB tongue & groove (as all floors are) and unfinished ceiling. The bedroom is the same minus the 3 walls with just insulation, no T-111. DSL & land line available. The PV array is perched 16' in the air utilizing a 9' tall cedar trunk, great attention-getter! The array is 720 watts, (8) 90 watt panels wired using 0 gauge, all lines run underground to cabin. The charge controller is a 60 amp Xantrex unit. There are (7) 100 ah AGM sealed batteries all in excellent condition. The Inverter/Charger is a Xantrex 4000w max, 2000w Sinewave unit. The house is wired so the generator charges the batteries whenever it is run via the 100 amp charger built into the Xantrex inverter, perfect for running high power items and keeping the batteries at their peak. There is an 8'x8'x10' tall shed. Inside are shelves - floor to ceiling on 1 wall, a workbench & storage cabinets. There is a 90w solar panel with an Optima battery & charge controller for LED lights. A 12'x24'x11' tall garage is framed, not completed. The tree house was constructed using all reclaimed supplies wherever available. It is pie-shaped and very unusual. There is a radio control (RC) rock crawler truck course, see photos! There is an outhouse. A compost toilet & sink included in sale. The shower is outdoors, but don't let that scare ya', we just used it in Feb! It can get very warm during the days in the winter. What our plans were; (2) 3,000 gallon water tanks & set up for catchment, the precipitation is usually enough to keep you going most of the year. (water delivery available locally) Add bathroom -- COMPOST TOILET AND SINK INCLUDED!!! Add utility room to house all batteries, inverter and equipment Finish workshop We are not interested in owner financing, full amount due at settlement. $10,000 down for earnest money held in escrow with title company of our choosing with full payment due in 28 days following closing. This property is $57,500. We pay title transfer. This is a For Sale by owner listing. No realtor involvement unless buyer chooses to pay commission to agent on top of the selling price to seller. Thanks for looking!
