Straight out of a fairytale, this one-of-a-kind straw bale home is a masterpiece of architecture and design. Completely off-grid and built with sustainability in mind, it offers a rare sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. A charming truth window showcases the craftsmanship behind its construction, while every corner inside holds a treasure curated from local antique shops and adventures abroad. Tucked away with only 3 other homes on the street, privacy is unparalleled. Home chefs will delight in harvesting fresh fruits and veggies from mature plants and collecting eggs from the chicken coop. Meander through French doors from the kitchen onto a deck draped in wisteria, the perfect spot for dining al fresco. The entire second floor is dedicated to the serene bedroom, complete with custom built-ins and windows that frame breathtaking mountain views. The home features artistic nods to the moonrise, from perfectly positioned windows to a mosaic on the staircase leading up to the entrance. Behind the scenes amenities include owned solar, new lithium batteries & detached storage sheds. Access is easy with a fully paved road and turnouts. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embrace off-grid living with majestic mountain views that sustainability blends beautifully with nature.
