Escape to serenity on 9.2 acres of breathtaking high-desert beauty, nestled in the foothills of the Mule Mountains. This one-of-a-kind off-grid property offers 360-degree views, abundant privacy, and sustainable living without compromising comfort or charm. At the heart of the property is a thoughtfully built 306 sq ft mud adobe casita, reinforced with rebar and steel mesh. Warm and welcoming, it features 14-inch-thick adobe walls for exceptional insulation, along with dual-pane, custom-crafted Alder wood windows and doors. Slate countertops,reclaimed from a historic church roof add character to the kitchen, while traditional adobe floors provide timeless charm. The roof is insulated with perlite for year-round efficiency. Just steps across the patio sits a spacious 76 sq ft bathroom bathroom, constructed with 8-inch adobe blocks and also insulated with rock wool. It includes a washing machine (which conveys), and an on-demand propane water heater ensures comfort and convenience. Heating is provided by passive solar through large south-facing windows, supported by two 9-gallon propane tanks that supply the casita and bathroom. A 165 sq ft workshop, also insulated with rock wool, houses the well pump and solar batteries, making this property truly self-sustaining. Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully considered: enjoy peaceful mornings and starlit evenings from the patio complete with a BBQ grill (included). For those with a vision to expand, the property features a 1700 sq ft adobe slab, partially wired and plumbed, with a central trench originally designed for a vacuum system. There's also a separate slab ideal for a battery house or additional outbuilding. Surrounded by wildlife, big skies, and complete quietude, this unique retreat offers the perfect blend of off-grid living and natural luxury. Whether you're looking for a peaceful hideaway or a foundation to build your dream homestead, this property invites you to unwind, explore, and be inspired.
