Property Description
One of a kind underground home (earth-shelter) offering a rare blend of efficiency, durability, and character, situated on 6 private acres outside of the city limits. Built into a natural hillside, this approximately 1,829 sq ft residence features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a unique layout designed for both functionality and long term energy savings. Constructed with reinforced concrete, steel beams and finished with classic stone siding, the home is built to last while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year round. Original Pella windows, along with a skylight in the kitchen, bring in natural light and add to the home's charm. With a low monthly electric bill, this property highlights the efficiency benefits of underground living. The setting offers privacy and a peaceful, tucked away feel while still being conveniently located near Highway 220. Outside, the property continues to impress with a workshop attached to a storage room that includes a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom studio with a kitchen ideal for guests, rental income, or a private workspace. A separate 2 car garage/barn (chicken coop) adds even more versatility for storage, equipment, or hobby use. Whether you're looking for a unique primary residence, multi use property, or an investment opportunity with income potential, this underground home is a rare find with endless possibilities. No recorded easement or road maintenance agreement information is on file.
