77 North Rd, Carson, NM 87517

Cozy two story straw bale home on a very private, heavily wooded 20 acre lot. The property is off-grid, with a newly upgraded solar power system, a private well, and septic. The front yard is surrounded with a short "rabbit" wall to protect the garden. Vaulted ceilings give the home a spacious feeling inside, and the updated kitchen and other remodeling touches make this a home to "live in". The owners have relocated, and the home has been fully cleaned, and ready for a move-in. Views are spectacular, and the Rio Grande Gorge is nearby. If an off-grid life is not for you, power and telephone connections are nearby. A fiber optic internet connection is also available a half mile down North Road, if a satellite service is not adequate. Cell service is good to the property.
