Property Location
This property sits in the scenic Cochetopa Hills 15 miles to the west of the
town of Saguache, Colorado. Public lands surround the property on all
sides - Forest Service to the south, and BLM land on the other three sides -
giving lots of privacy and the feel of an even larger spread of land.
Though it is private, Colorado Highway 114 lies less than two miles away for
easy access.
The view from the hillside shows the unspoiled and private nature of the
property, and the beautiful land on which it sits.
Home Tour
The home sits on a sunny south-facing bluff overlooking a mixture of trees
and grassland and across a small valley to forested hillside of douglas fir.
This picture shows a small shed at the far left, and a corral at the far
right.
Stepping stones lead to the entrance of the home. This picture shows
the solar photovoltaic panels on the roof. The rounded objects in front of
the home are mini-greenhouses for gardening. Rather than using tires on
this home, Michael Reynolds designed a concrete wall due to the local geology of
the building site.
Planters visible upon entering the home line its entire length of the front.
The sellers have used this space to grow a variety of edible and ornamental
plants. A brick walkway adjoins the planter with concrete floors beyond.
The great room occupies the east side of the home with a kitchen area in the
back and the living area to the right. Two large kitchen countertops below
abundant cabinets provide ample work areas space for a dining room table next to
it. A SunFrost combination refrigerator and freezer allows food storage

The living space has room for a heating stove and cabinetry for an
entertainment center.
Drapes run the back of the home concealing the systems areas and closets.

features a shower. Blinds within the glass allow for privacy or can be
opened to bring in light.

spectacular mountain views out the window. The bedroom features its own
