Mountain contemporary live/work opportunity with views in all directions of the mountains, valley, and the Great Sand Dunes! This home sits on a beautiful 2-acre parcel near the Ziggurat and the northern entrance to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The home has loads of character with contemporary updates: Historic wood from a late 1800s local homestead accents the home, and is used for ceilings and the garage door. The antique wood stove in the living room is fully functional, and a wonderful focal point. The home is thoughtfully designed for energy efficiency with a southeast-facing attached adobe greenhouse which is great for winter warmth, and can be used as a growing space. Winter heating bills are very low. The home offers many options for art making, shop space, office, recreation, or family living. The downstairs has a 3/4 bath and adjacent area that has been used variously as a bedroom or an office space. It is beautiful and sunny with French doors leading to a small deck and the back yard. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom has valley views and views of the Great Sand Dunes. It is large enough for a king bed and has a full wall of closet storage. Adjacent is a full bath with soaker tub and separate shower. Also off the primary is a smaller room which can serve as a third bedroom or nursery. It is currently used as a second office and exercise space. An expansive rooftop deck is also accessed from the Primary suite. The separate shop building is heat conserving straw bale construction with south facing orientation. Downstairs the expansive shop space was previously used as a ceramics studio, and includes 220v, exhaust venting, work tables, and a wood burning heat stove. Upstairs is an additional office or alternative sleeping space, currently used as a meditation and arts room. The land itself is a corner lot with beautiful pinon pines and pathways to views and sitting areas. A garden area with improved soil was active in the past. So many options!
