About 16056 Road 25

This is not a stick-built home! This is an Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) home, thoughtfully designed with sustainability, efficiency and longevity in mind. Set on 14+ acres, this exceptional property combines quality construction with the beauty and freedom of Southwest Colorado living. The exterior walls feature 2.5" of foam, 6" of steel-reinforced concrete and another 2.5" of foam, creating approximately 11-12" thick walls. The result is outstanding insulation, year-round temperature stability, energy efficiency and increased resistance to fire, pests, mold and severe weather. The attention to detail continues beneath and around the home with a full perimeter drainage system connected to the interior roof drains and garage drain to help efficiently direct water away from the structure. Radiant in-floor heat provides quiet, even warmth throughout, while a tankless on-demand water heater, soldered copper plumbing, radon mitigation system and Milgard dual-pane windows add to the home's impressive infrastructure. The living room is even pre-vented for a future heating stove, although the current owners have found the radiant heat more than sufficient. Step inside and the craftsmanship continues. Soaring 10-foot walls create an open, spacious feel, while crank-open windows positioned at approximately 8 feet were thoughtfully incorporated to encourage natural airflow throughout the home. Stunning stained concrete floors add warmth, character and a distinctive custom finish while beautifully complementing the home's radiant in-floor heating. The kitchen is designed to be both beautiful and functional, featuring all-wood, soft-close cabinetry with absolutely no particle board, upgraded appliances including a Cafe oven, gas range and vented hood. A charming breakfast nook provides a comfortable spot for casual meals and morning coffee, while the dedicated dining room is conveniently positioned just off the kitchen and living room, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. An oversized walk-in pantry provides cabinetry, power and abundant storage. Warm wood window sills and ledges add another custom touch throughout the home. Both bathrooms continue the elevated finishes with granite countertops and beautiful floor-to-ceiling tile, creating spaces that feel polished and thoughtfully designed. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. Approximately 14 acres offer a beautiful mix of open space, mature trees, canyon terrain and a creek running through the property, all set against sweeping Southwest Colorado scenery. Take in incredible views of the La Plata Mountains and Sleeping Ute, creating a dramatic backdrop for everyday life. Five shares of Montezuma Valley Irrigation Company (MVIC) water are included, providing a valuable resource for the property. A lush, established lawn; an uncommon luxury in this landscape, surrounds the home and is supported by a zoned sprinkler system. Bring the animals and embrace the acreage lifestyle. The property is already equipped with a pig pen and powered chicken coop, offering a head start for a hobby farm, homestead or simply a more self-sufficient way of life. There is an electrical stub on the right side of the driveway, ready for a future shop. Enjoy quiet mornings from the beautiful wood-look stamped concrete front patio, wander among the trees, explore your own canyon and creek, tend the animals, or simply sit back and watch the light change over the La Platas and Sleeping Ute. With A/R 10-34 zoning, five MVIC shares, substantial infrastructure, incredible mountain views and a home constructed far beyond conventional standards, this is more than acreage with a house—it's a property designed for comfort, durability and an elevated Colorado lifestyle.
