In the shadow of Needle Rock. Off-the grid home tucked into the base of the West Elk Mountains. The property has a feeling of utter remoteness, no neighbors visible though only ten minutes from town. Abutting public lands (BLM), the backyard is the flank of Needle Rock, a spectacular rock tower. Peregrines, golden eagles, and ravens nest there every spring and Sandhill Cranes use it as a navigation point. The house is a unique design, full of light. Throughout the year it feels both cozy and open. Winter is comfy with both in-floor heating and a gas wood stove. A rock-walled indoor sunroom lends itself to growing fresh greens all winter. The kitchen has a built-in dining island and a separate breakfast bar under a large bank of south-facing windows looking out onto a garden nook. There are several lean-to sheds on the property, along with a large greenhouse designed to be additionally an office or playhouse space. Being one of only 40 water taps on the Mad Dog Spring, water is abundant and exceptionally clean.
