The views stop you in your tracks. But then inside? This truly one-of-a-kind space makes sure the feeling doesn’t fade. From the road, this home is unassuming, even modest. But trust me: once you step inside this one-of-a-kind jewel, you won’t forget her. Built in the late '70s by the School of Mines, this thoughtfully designed earth home was ahead of its time, created to work with the landscape and deliver then–state-of-the-art energy efficiency. Tucked quietly into its setting, it offers something that’s becoming harder to find — privacy, efficiency, and views that stop you mid-sentence. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus an additional room currently used as an office — flexible space that adapts to real life. The primary suite opens directly outdoors and features a wood-burning fireplace; step outside and the hot tub is waiting, positioned to take in a view you’ll never get tired of. From this walkout, in-ground solar panels are visible, with operational status unknown. While the design is grounded and intentional, the comfort systems are anything but basic. Heating options include baseboard heat, cove heat, a pellet stove on the main level, and a wood-burning fireplace in the primary bedroom, paired with mini-split cooling for warmer months. The main level brings the space—think game nights, a workshop, a home gym, or whatever your lifestyle’s been hinting at. Set on 1.14 usable wooded acres (yes, usable), this property backs up the vibe with a dog run, attached two-car garage, PLUS 20×20 carport, and two storage sheds. Add in a brand-new EV charging station and no covenants, and suddenly the possibilities get very interesting. Dream big. The land can handle it. This isn’t a house that announces itself. It’s a home you discover — and once you do, the value is unmistakable.
