12807 Rd 41.9, Mancos, CO 81328

Property Description

Eight acres with stunning views of Mancos Valley, Mesa Verde, and Sleeping Ute Mountain, just a quarter mile from Jackson Lake and national forest access. This is a one of a kind property for someone ready to embrace an off grid lifestyle on their own terms. The main dwelling is an off grid earth berm home built in the Hogan style with all timber sourced from a local mill. The lower level features an adobe bench, Yodel wood stove, and Regency gas fireplace, with a ladder leading up to a loft office with 360 degree views. Ten 100 watt solar panels provide electricity and a 300 gallon cistern with water trailer handles water needs. The system is off grid today though electricity is available nearby and the seller is on the wait list for a water tap. A finished 10x12 bath house includes a shower, composting toilet, off grid refrigerator, and washer and dryer. The 10x12 insulated Graceland Cabin with wood stove works perfectly as a studio, guest space, or additional bedroom. The unfinished hand scribed log cabin is a blank canvas just waiting for someone to put their touch on it and turn it into additional livable space. An engineered septic system is installed for a two bedroom home and has only ever been used for grey water. There is also an airtight container on the property that the sellers planned to convert into a container home. With multiple good building sites, there is plenty of room to build a primary residence and use the existing structures as rentals or creative space. No HOA and no covenants. Private road maintenance runs just $150 a year. Enjoy the lake, explore the national forest, or just sit on the deck and watch the stars. Properties like this are truly a rare find.
