Property Description
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.
