Incredible opportunity to own an epically private mountaintop retreat surrounded by BLM land on 3 sides with views that must be seen to be believed. Wall to wall windows outline the southeastern face of this solidly built home, overlooking the Walker Basin and Twin Oaks valleys of Caliente. The construction of the home honors and highlights the land's plentiful rock outcroppings, bringing character and nature to the interior. Uniquely earthy and unconventional, this house will pleasantly surprise you at every turn. Sit for hours in the swing in the sunroom and contemplate life while watching wildlife roam your property. Anchored by a large circular great room with tongue and groove and beam ceiling, and surrounding a large fireplace, there's plenty of room for entertaining. Keep the hearth fire burning with a genuine wood burning cook stove in the kitchen, in addition to a traditional oven for the less adventurous. Both bedrooms feature their own propane heaters to keep you toasty in winter, and large windows for cool breezes in summer. Also includes an attached 2 car garage, oversized laundry room, attached generator room, and even a lift from ground to second floor. Outside you'll find a separate workshop, large storage shed, and countless spots to enjoy morning coffee or to exercise your green thumb. House is powered by newer solar panels (2016) and a beast of a propane Onan generator, and had a new roof installed in 2017. Only a few hours from Los Angeles, come to the Piute Mountains to unplug or disappear altogether.
