LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Close to Hwy 50 and 115 for an easy commute to Canon City, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. This unique home consists of 10 acres which can be divided into two 5-acre lots (each with its own water tap). There are approximately 6 acres of irrigated pasture with a 30' x 40' pole barn, garden shed, fenced for livestock grazing and hay production. The property is nestled on a hillside surrounded by Juniper woods with majestic views of the wet mountains with lots of wildlife to include doves, quail, hawks, deer, and coyotes.
This energy-efficient property has passive solar, wood, and electric heat to ensure that the home remains cool in summer and warm in the winter. Property can be divided into two 5 acre parcels each with its own water tap. Thermal drapes allow for winter daytime solar gain and night heat conservation. In summer, the drapes protect from heat gain as do the hollow roofs and the berm which borders most of the main floor. In non-drought times, the hay fields support 4 or 5 head of livestock and add verdant fields to the existing woods. There is little traffic on 11th street and commuting to Pueblo, Colorado Springs or Canyon City is easy and quick.
