About This Home

As of June 2020

VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS!
***PRICE REDUCED!*** This very relaxed desert retreat features panoramic views of the surrounding open spaces and distant snow-capped mountains. The expansive site consists of 2, 2.5 acre parcels, but feels much larger do to the adjacent BLM lands on the east and west sides. The additional parcel allows for the construction of a second residence. The home has been completely rebuilt with eco-friendly materials and makes for a great vacation home with large indoor and outdoor living spaces. The kitchen and bathroom are enlarged and modernized with beautiful concrete and tile work. The views from the sleeping loft are incredible!
