About this home

Welcome to this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2 ½ bath home on a secluded 10-acre lot, completely OFF-GRID and powered by solar and propane. Enjoy spectacular views from above the city in every direction. The property includes a 4-stall horse barn with a workshop, a shed, and various heating options like pellet stove, wood and propane fireplaces. Stay comfortable year-round with a solar system, backup generator, and swamp cooler. , This eco-friendly retreat is a true gem! Presenting a remarkable opportunity, this property has been meticulously upgraded with over $125k in investments since its acquisition in 2021. The 2022 kitchen remodel showcases tasteful shaker cabinets, soft close drawers, striking granite countertops, and a new gas cooktop. A true haven of relaxation, the master bath boasts a rejuvenating soaking tub and an expansive walk-in, sit-down, dual-head shower. A parallel transformation extends to the powder room. The lower level introduces a fresh wet bar complemented by a sleek granite countertop. Modern comforts abound, including a tankless water heater, a Pure water filtration system, and Anderson windows. Hardwood floors and plantation shutters radiate timeless elegance throughout. The meticulous care transcends to the outdoors, with breathtaking sunsets visible from both the house and the back deck, accompanied by a captivating panorama of city lights and stars. The natural terrain hosts wild horses, birds, and the occasional fox, enhancing the allure of this retreat. Additional highlights include a live water stream, composite deck with a picnic table at the vista overlook, and a predator-proof dog run. New solar batteries, a serviced generator, and well-stocked shed enhance functionality, while septic maintenance, chimney sweeping, and pipe insulation underscore the meticulous upkeep. Appliances are inclusive, and the HOA plans to level dirt roads this summer. An optional purchase outside of the contract offers a K9 Koiti 4x4 Diesel UTV with snowplow attachment and snow blower for all-season utility.
