Off-Grid potential with Water Rights! Set on 5.63 acres in a remarkably private setting, this Colorado retreat is surrounded by acres of protected, undevelopable land, offering rare seclusion while remaining just 10 minutes from town. The adjacent Kindred Reserve provides 80 acres of wildlife habitat, trails, and open space and the 30 acres of 500 year flood plain allow for privacy. This unique property presents an opportunity for self-sufficient living, with the potential to operate as a fully OFF GRID, all-electric home using hydroelectric, solar, or wind power. Agricultural possibilities include approximately 1.5 acres of irrigated nutrient rich land for gardening, 81 fruit trees (pears, various apples, pie cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, and plumcots), potential for a commercial sized fish lake, and a root cellar for long-term food storage. Water is supplied by a 508-foot artesian well producing 29 pounds of pressure, delivering naturally soft water free of iron or sulfur. Private lakes on the property benefit from a first-share Colorado Division of Water right (DD# 7200989) from Lime Kiln Gulch. A 3 HP pump services the system. An enclosed porch features a passive-solar hot tub room designed to reduce electricity use by 40 percent! The detached six-car garage and the 40 x 16 workshop includes heat, water, electricity, and floor drains. Included with the property is a 30-ton dragline, CAT 5 dozer, double-axle dump truck, a 25 HP articulated tractor, along with some lawn equipment. Inside, the residence features warm rustic character highlighted by a dramatic two-sided wood-burning stone fireplace with a forced air heat exchanger that provides a consistent out flow of heat. The main level showcases a distinctive octagonal design with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and abundant natural light. The kitchen includes generous cabinetry, bar seating, and a double wall oven, well suited for preparing meals from the property’s harvest. The main level offers a primary suite with ensuite bath, along with two other bedrooms and a full bathroom. The walk out basement adds over 800 square feet of living space ideal for anything that you can imagine! Additional features include a surround sound system, a hot tub, multiple patios, breathtaking views, and a private access hidden from the main road. The adjacent 59.60-acre parcel directly to the north is also owned by the seller and offered for $3.9 million. Buyer to verify all information.
