About This Home

This expansive 71-acre property sits at 3,000 feet elevation, offering privacy and tranquility while remaining conveniently close to town. Features include remnants of an old homestead, natural springs, game trails, a historic fruit orchard and borders USFS lands. The land is a mix of meadow and beautifully managed timberland, with some trees approaching 130 feet tall. At its center is a geodesic dome, celebrated for its durability and energy efficiency. The open-concept design includes 2,431 sq. ft. on the main floor plus an additional 1,020 sq. ft. lofted second level, highlighted by a cupola and clerestory windows that enhance natural light and airflow. The structure is well insulated but remains very unfinished-an opportunity to bring your vision to life. The main level includes a roughed in small kitchen, bathroom, and laundry hookups, along with two framed-in bedrooms ready for completion. The property is currently off-grid, with a generator complex originally designed for propane and diesel generators. Traditional electric and phone services are nearby on county maintained Templeman Lake Road, the westerly boundary of this property. A 13 GPM well with an underground holding tank supplies water, while wood stoves have provided heat. Behind the home, a chain link fenced 1.5-acre area offers secure space for pets or other uses. This property is two parcels-40.04 and 30.94 acres (see Survey in Documents Section), they are zoned agriculture/forestry which allows for 10 acre minimum property size. Offered "AS IS", this property is a blank canvas, ready for someone to own their dream and make it entirely their own. With incredible potential and a peaceful setting, it's an opportunity not to be missed!
