8246 Manitou Springs Road

This off-grid home offers a modern, city-like feel with smart, energy-efficient upgrades. Powered by six solar panels on a post, two rooftop panels, and 24 six-volt batteries, it provides more than enough electricity to run a big-screen TV, game console, and appliances simultaneously. Included are three Samsung Smart appliances: a Morning Blue glass-panel refrigerator (ice maker ready), a large-capacity front-load washer, and a matching gas dryer, all controllable by smartphone or the included Samsung Galaxy Tab, which also monitors the home’s power systems and EcoFlow backup batteries. The propane range runs off a 500-gallon owned tank. Also included are a storm door, floor-to-ceiling windows (8), and 2 x 6 lumber for a future back patio, as well as ceramic wood-look tile and supplies for the primary bedroom and walk-in closet. Built-ins and pantry shelving stay, along with a dark bookcase in the office. Outside features a Sun-Craft generator housing, a 24x24 shop/garage with attached carport, mature trees, and perennial landscaping. For heat, the home has a wood stove rated for 1,400 sq ft, electric baseboard heat in the entry, a biofuel fireplace in the primary bedroom, and ceiling fans in all bedrooms and the living room.
