Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this property is well-maintained and features unique, custom 'artist-architect' design elements throughout, including custom tile work, hand-painted murals, and intricate metal accents. The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, a live-edge wood bar, and modern-looking appliances (fridge, dishwasher, microwave), but the green speckled laminate countertops are visibly dated. Bathrooms are also custom with artistic tile and a Jacuzzi tub, but the overall rustic style, while intentional, is not contemporary. While move-in ready and functional with good systems (e.g., three heating zones), the property's age and specific aesthetic, particularly the kitchen countertops, show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a well-maintained but aged home that would benefit from minor updates.
The property boasts unmatched privacy, backing directly to National Forest and Conservation Land on over 1.3 acres, offering direct access to miles of maintained trails right from the backyard.
Designed by an artist-architect, the home features custom tile work, hand-painted murals, intricate metal accents, and a live-edge wood bar, providing a truly one-of-a-kind living experience.
Massive custom windows and multiple decks frame sweeping canyon, mountain, and forest views, ensuring abundant natural light and a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.
The highly artistic design and specific features like animal pens (chicken coop, pig/goat pen) may appeal to a niche buyer, potentially limiting the broader market of interested parties.
The extensive custom artistic elements and unique features throughout the home could require specialized knowledge or higher costs for maintenance and repairs compared to standard properties.
While a mountain retreat, the description highlights various heating options but does not mention a cooling system, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer periods.
