2834 N Carefree Way, Crestone, CO, 81131

This beautifully designed and well-built 2 story Strawbale house is the kind of unique home that Crestone has become famous for. Just waiting for your personal finishes in selected areas. Rough-in plumbing and electric are completed but need some minor finishing work before final inspection. Passive solar design and excellent R-47 value provided by the thick, super-insulative strawbale walls and R-40 insulation in the ceiling offer comfort year round with a wood stove for additional heating/ambience in the winter. Radiant floor tubing is also in place and ready to connect with the purchase of a side arm hot water heater…it was never completed because the owner was always comfortable without it, even in the coldest months. The second story bedroom has amazing views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east while the rooftop deck that opens out from the bedroom to the west has vast valley views and was designed to be very private. Additional 144 square foot basement is perfect as a cool pantry for foods, a wine cellar, general storage or a combination of all three. Trails in the backyard lead to the adjacent greenbelt and a seasonal creek. Also out back is a fully functional, year-round greenhouse (792 sq ft) with professional ventilation and heating system. Tall and large enough to grow a small orchard of fruit trees or whatever you like. This fabulous feature allows you to create an outdoor living space that is totally protected from the elements. This home also includes an adjacent vacant lot which could be consolidated to create a buffer or a perfect location for a garage, ADU or second home. This special home has all the best Crestone has to offer and won’t last long!
