Imagine living off grid, in the mountains amongst nature and all of her glory. Within the Christmas Mountains, nestled against the red iron oxide rocks, is this beautiful Sante Fe style home. The home is made with rostra block construction, and the studio and detached carport are made with papercrete. The insulation capabilities of these green materials is amazing. The buildings are a sand color stucco and blend into the mountain scenery. There is a 7KW PV producing 35kW a day solar system that powers every imaginable electric unit including A/C. The solar system sits above the carport with extensive battery power that support much more than the property includes. The property also includes two water wells that produce all of the water anyone in the desert could need, with a water filter and tankless water heater. There is also 18,000 gallons of water storage that can in itself be used for drinking and bathing as well as watering plants. Wildlife here is plentiful too, including mule tail deer, road runners, warblers, quail, hummingbirds, cardinals, javelina, and many others. Another beauty to this property is the aerobic septic system, called a hoot system that turns black water to grey water. Nothing is wasted here on this property.

The main house includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bath with a main community room, loads of bookshelves, and a kitchen/dining area. Each room is well thought out with plenty of storage space, french doors, solid doors, slate tile floors, high ceilings, tons of windows with natural light, full pantry and full length basement. Every part of this house has a purpose and can be used in so many different ways.

The wraparound porches on the artist studio/guest house and the main house are ideal places to grab a cup of coffee and look out over the scenic vistas or to the gorgeous Christmas Mountains.

The guest house has heat, water hookups, and office with saltillo tile floors, double doors and plenty of light. This property offers a perfect spot for writers retreat, artist retreat, hunting, second home, hiking, horseback riding, retirement home, or family compound. Christmas Mountains, close by, offers hunting and hiking as well.

Big Bend National Park is also within minutes where river rafting and more hiking and horseback riding is available. Collect fossils, view pictographs or Native America camp sites.

The home is appraised at 25% more than the asking price so it's a real bargain and a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys nature and scenic beauty.
