Do you value privacy, self-sufficiency, tall pines and prime pastureland with an abundance of water and wildlife? This custom totally self-sufficient off-grid, 3 level log home is adjacent to the San Juan National Forest, and situated on 20 acres of partially fenced property. The vegetation consists of 15 acres of mature Ponderosa Pine/Gambel Oak forest, and 5 acres of sub-irrigated meadow/pasture lands (brome, timothy, wheatgrass, alfalfa, red clover). This unique property not only has tall pines and meadows, but also offers plentiful water - with Beaver Creek, Citizen’s Irrigation Ditch, 1 spring fed pond, and 1 seasonal pond all located in the meadow/pastures. This property also offers amazing views of the HD mountains, with the home located on a ridge that overlooks the pastures and barns. This off-grid self-sufficient home has updated state of the art solar photovoltaic panel arrays, AGM battery storage system, charge controllers, inverter/battery chargers, and a propane backup generator for those cloudy/snowy days.

The home has unique appliances designed for off-grid solar living, and includes a 12V solar refrigerator, 12V solar freezer chest, gas range/oven, gas water heater, washer, gas dryer, and microwave.
