Shaker-style full-time off-grid mountain home located 1/4 mile off Icehouse Road on Siverd Road in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches, with views of Mt. Lindsey from the North 10' x 26' wood deck and Cuchara Mountain from the East Covered Front Porch. This is a builder-owner occupied home, maintained and lived in full time by sellers, with the builder-owner having approximately 40 years of building/construction experience.

The home features an open kitchen/dining/living Great Room of 670+ Sq Ft with warm wood finishes, lifetime-warranty flooring, Douglas fir rafters with hurricane straps, and a vaulted ceiling with air-wash ventilation to help reduce moisture buildup. The 2025 wood stove replaced a smaller prior stove, sits on a porcelain tile base with an added air-spaced heat shield for extra safety, and also supports Power shed freeze protection through HVAC pipe and an under-house fan system.
Recent 2025 solar updates include replacement batteries, upgraded inverter, and DC switchgear replacing the older fuse setup for safer, simpler operation, with no wiring or capacity changes. Additional safety features include heat-activated fire extinguishers in the battery box, a Wi-Fi connected fire/smoke detector in the Power shed, and multiple emergency shutoff options.
The 2026 permitted mudroom and attached greenhouse/sunroom add practical mountain-living and food-growing space.
