1403 Skyview Road , Bayfield, CO 81122(La Plata County)

If you want a beautiful, private, self-sustaining property with views for miles, this is the perfect place for you! Want to be off the grid? Grow anything? Be prepared for anything? This 40-acre property, 18 miles from Durango and five miles from Bayfield, has endless possibilities. Once a legal hemp farm, this property is fully set up for hemp or hobby farming. The property contains multiple outbuildings (described below) as well as a large home. The 3,984-sq ft home is located on a private road behind a secure custom timber entry and fence with an electric gate. The five-bedroom, six-bath home has three levels including a basement. The home can't be seen from the road and has gorgeous views of the surrounding valleys. The home has a custom kitchen with upgraded appliances, custom cabinets and tile work, and a 6-burner Thermador stove with a commercial vent hood. Two basement rooms with a full bathroom between can be bedrooms or offices. The upstairs area has a large bedroom, bath, and flex area for a library, play, or project room. A mother-in-law suite with a full kitchen has its own entry and can be locked off from the main house. Extra features include a virtually impenetrable 15x15 safe room, a 18x22 gym with mirrored walls and rubber flooring, a whole-house water filtration system, three reverse osmosis units, and a new 100-gallon pressure tank and 100-gallon water heater/boiler. The home has especially breathtaking views from the back deck. A covered front porch is another great place to spend time. A special feature of the property is a custom-designed Koi pond with a double waterfall and waterfall filtration systems. The pond is home to goldfish, koi, and salamanders. This "secret garden" is the perfect tranquil place to spend time watching wildlife coming through for a visit. The property is self-sustaining/off-grid with a 10,000 kW solar array connected to top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries that allow excess energy to be fed back to the grid. The property is wired with 400 Amps service. A 40,000-watt Cummings propane generator with a dedicated thousand-gallon propane tank ensures power at all times. The system is set up to add a wind generator for future expansion. The generator, batteries, and control units are housed in a secure building surrounded by a Faraday cage to protect them from EMPs or solar flares. Additionally, a fuel island with 300-gallon diesel and gasoline tanks offer total convenience. Additional outbuildings include a top-of-the-line, fully-automated commercial greenhouse with concrete floors, floor drains, automated full-length ridge vent, circulating fans, ceiling fans, and large exhaust fans. The greenhouse could be used for hemp, a year-round garden, co-op vegetable gardens, even a year-round swimming pool! Let your imagination go wild with this flex space! See Addendum for more information on the additional outbuildings.
