CLOSE TO NET ZERO ENERGY EFFICIENCY

This home was built with energy efficiency in mind. The walls are super insulated with “ice block” Styrofoam concrete walls. The home is heated and cooled by a forced-air geothermal system, and the home is powered by an active solar panel that provides most of the home’s electricity while still drawing power off the grid when necessary. Do the math—if you would normally spend $200-$300 a month for heating and cooling bills, what if your energy bill is only $30 a month? Let’s see…that’s roughly another $2,500 a year for an investment account, a vacation, a college education—EVERY YEAR!

PRICED TO SELL

Built in 2008, this energy-efficient home is priced to sell. With 2,600 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, irrigation water, acreage, and great views, this is one of the best deals on the market. This is a well-built home with nice finishes—hickory cabinets, bamboo floors, geothermal heat, tile, and nice lighting.

EXCELLENT HUNTING AND FISHING IN COLORADO GMU 63 AND 53 

Crawford Reservoir is only a few miles away, offering great boating and fishing for trout, pike, and perch. Local rivers and creeks, including the Gunnison River, offer outstanding fly-fishing. Wilderness access for backcountry expeditions is right across the valley in the West Elks Wilderness, which is the featured view from the property. This area of Colorado is well known for excellent mule deer and elk hunting. This home is located in Game Management Unit 63, which is famous for producing trophy mule deer. GMU 53 is right across the valley. Both units provide over-the-counter elk tags during second and third rifle seasons, and elk hunting is excellent.

IRRIGATED PASTURE AND HAYFIELD

The home sits on a 10-acre parcel, of which 8 acres are irrigated. The property has 300 shares of Fruitland Mesa irrigation water, which is delivered via gated pipe. You can either grow hay on 8 acres or use it for horse pasture or for cattle, goats, or llamas.

WILDLIFE

Do you like deer? Great! You’ll see them everywhere on this property. Just make sure you keep your tomatoes inside a high fence, because deer love it here. Occasionally elk will visit the property.

DOMESTIC WATER

One Fruitland Mesa Domestic Water Company tap is installed on the property.

SCHOOLS

Crawford K-8 is the nearest school, and has an excellent reputation for strong fundamentals, activities, and sports. Hotchkiss High School is known for outstanding academics, strong sports teams and activities, and a friendly atmosphere.
