54 Lower Two Hawks Trail

Description

This highly-efficient, self-sufficient, straw-bale constructed home is situated on 20 acres of pristine land with views bigger than life! Built in 1998, this three bedroom, two bathroom home was meticulously crafted with the surrounding landscape in mind. The excellent insulating value of straw-bale keeps the home cool in summer months and toasty in winter. Soak in the morning sunlight as it seeps into the kitchen through the large corner windows above the sink, and enjoy the sunsets through the primary bedroom's large picturesque windows. Upon entrance to the enclosed courtyard, follow the meandering path to the front door, where you'll find a portal covering a large flagstone patio. The patio faces east towards the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, an excellent area to sit outside and enjoy the view! There is an oversized attached two-car carport that could easily be enclosed to create a garage, if so desired. No lot in this community can be smaller than 20 acres, allowing each homesite to keep their expansive views and preserve the natural beauty for all to enjoy. The large living room has classic Saltillo tile throughout and a woodstove as the centerpiece and heating element! An open kitchen off the living room has an extra-large kitchen island, custom cabinetry, and large windows, not to mention its very own indoor greenhouse! A guest bedroom and bathroom is conveniently separated from the primary bedroom, sharing a wall with the kitchen. Rest assured your guests will be enjoying a lovely bathroom with recently redone wood floors and a clawfoot bathtub for soaking. Along the south wall of the living room runs an attached greenhouse with a plethora of different plants and trees, including a fruit producing fig tree! The greenhouse can also be used to heat the home during winter months by simply opening the double glass doors off the living room and allowing in the warm air. Southwest touches can be seen throughout the home including an aspen latilla ceiling in the hall, exposed adobe walls, nichos, Saltillo tile, and lively Mexican style sinks in the master bath. The extra-large primary bedroom enjoys private views, an oversized walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom for complete privacy. Walk-in shower, double sinks, tons of built-in custom cabinet space, and plenty of natural light make this bathroom one to remember. The third bedroom has a sealed compacted dirt floor and built-in shelves, a perfect room to be used for either an office or guest bedroom. This bedroom also has direct access to the front courtyard through an exterior door. Enjoy no electric bills, as the power to the home is provided completely from the sun through means of a recently updated solar array system. Water is provided by three buried cisterns totaling 9,000 gallons, and included with the home is a membership to the community well organization. An owner is entitled up to 2,000 gallons a month from the community well. The HOA's only purpose is to maintain the well maintained roads and the dues are $375 per year. The home has new stucco as of May 2022 and an upgraded solar panel array. Come see for yourself that this home was lovingly built and cared for!
