28540 S Beaver Ridge Rd, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487
About this home
This totally self-sufficient, off-grid, unique, pueblo-style abode sits on 10 acres just 20 minutes west of downtown Steamboat Springs. The home was built South facing on the hillside to maximize the views of the valley below and Flat Tops Wilderness in the distance. This exceptional farmstead property is powered by 2400 watts of rotating solar panels, an 800 watt wind generator onto a 50ft mast and a 1,000 gallon buried propane tank. Water is supplied by an abundant well and there is a 1,500 gallon storage tank located within the greenhouse. Home was specially designed with a flat roof for rain and snow catchment for irrigation, and has heavy duty trusses and reinforced sheer walls to withstand snow load. Stucco was chosen for the exterior to trap and retain heat through the cooler winter nights. The 10 acres of land features a myriad of foliage including aspen groves, mature oak and pine forests, and even has wild raspberries, serviceberries and mushrooms for seasonal harvesting. The main level has an open floor plan with a kitchen designed for functionality with dual sinks, loads of counter space, a breakfast bar and an highly efficient Sun Frost refrigerator. The dining area is the ideal place to gather for a meal and showcases some of the best views in the home. Upstairs is the spacious primary bedroom with expansive valley views, oversized walk-in closets and a bathroom complete with a soaking tub and steam shower. On the main level is a second bedroom and bathroom and the lower level flex space and bathroom could be configured to fit any need as a family room, shop, studio or could be reconfigured to add additional bedrooms. Property is within the Steamboat Springs School District and is just a mile away from the backside of Emerald Mountain and BLM recreation area providing over 4,600 acres for outdoor adventures including hiking, biking, and seasonal hunting. If you have been looking for a true mountain oasis with privacy and acreage near town this is it!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
