INCOME POTENTIAL! Stunning new light-filled, 2600 sq ft, 3 bed/3 bath natural post and beam/strawbale house on .9 acres in Chalet II of the Baca Grande. Expertly designed and built by area strawbale builder and teacher Curtis Schieb, this lovely home is a showcase to this method of building. Positioned with huge windows on the south side of the home, the passive solar gain coupled with the 2’ thick stuccoed walls create an exceptional environment that remains cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. Additional heating for the house includes in-floor radiant heat in the kitchen and living room, as well as electric wall heat everywhere else. Enter through a artist designed Argentinian door with a stunning stained glass depiction of the surrounding mountains. The first floor is as spacious as it is functional, with porcelain tile floors, and an open concept design encompassing the living room, kitchen and dining room. Reclaimed solid wood cabinets with antique brass knobs, and granite countertops grace the kitchen, with large ledges for innumerable potted plants to soak up the sun. Custom tile work and deep soaking tubs in both the full guest bath and the large primary bath, with brushed bronze fixtures providing graceful lighting. The huge primary bedroom opens up to the forest with large windows.. The second floor has been uniquely designed: it may serve in its current capacity as a second floor with two bedrooms, or it may be separated from the first floor and used as a large apartment. The landing on the second floor has been framed with an exterior door, hidden in the wall, but a savvy owner could build stairs up to the second floor through that framed doorway providing an exterior entrance. The bamboo floored sunny second floor features windows in all directions, sky lights, and the ability to use the second upstairs bedroom as a flex space/living/dining/kitchen for a renter. This amazing home is priced to sell, and don’t forget to check out the 3D tour!
