Description

Welcome to one of Western Colorado’s most unique and inspiring properties. Situated on 35.71 acres in scenic Glade Park, this extraordinary Earthship-style home offers a rare blend of sustainable living, architectural character, and breathtaking natural beauty. With 3,174 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, this one-of-a-kind residence was thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its surroundings while providing comfort and functionality. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the unobstructed 360-degree views of the surrounding mesas, mountains, and desert landscape. By day, enjoy sweeping vistas of the Book Cliffs and open high-desert terrain, and by night, experience some of the clearest stargazing imaginable — including brilliant views of the Milky Way. The home's Earthship-inspired design incorporates passive solar principles with expansive south-facing windows that help naturally heat the home in winter while skylights and thoughtful airflow design help keep the interior comfortable year-round. Sustainable elements include features such as rainwater catchment and greywater irrigation systems, creating an environmentally conscious lifestyle without sacrificing modern convenience. The home comes equipped with included appliances: • Dishwasher • Dryer • Gas Range Oven • Refrigerator • Washer • Gas Cook Top With its generous square footage, flexible living spaces, and unmatched privacy, this property offers endless possibilities—whether you're seeking a private retreat, homestead, creative escape, or investment opportunity. Even more exciting, this property presents a rare opportunity for instant value, with the next owner likely walking into approximately $150,000 in immediate equity based on current market positioning and recently appraised value. If you've been searching for something truly special—where architecture, sustainability, acreage, and views come together—this Glade Park gem is a must-see.
