Located on 4.19 acres at 8000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado is an Earth-Sheltered Concrete structure built for the long haul. Green built to save energy, but built super strong for protection against almost any man-made or natural disaster including the possibility of a TEOTWAWKI event!
The main house is a 50'x 86' elongated dome with 6 to 8 inches of 12,000 psi shotcrete (air placed concrete) and miles of steel re-bar form the shell of this structure. Through a 6' x 30' tunnel is an attached garage/workshop area which is 24' x 66' and is a second floor level entry. An additional 24' x 36' out building could be used for shop, storage, barn, or possibly as a caretakers quarters. 'This extremely strong building has a published life span of a few hundred years by FormWorks Building of Durango, Colorado... but is more likely to still be standing in a thousand years! It has the ability to support a large family or a similar sized group.
Due to owner's health and a divorce this project is unfinished! The good news is that the hardest part of the construction has been completed. It has been water-proofed and covered with over with earth. Any competent contractor could complete the work. Most importantly, it can be designed to suit your individual needs. To date, almost a 1M has been invested in this one of a kind property, with a current replacement cost of over 1.5 M because of the rise in material costs and labor.
Owner needs to sell. So MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER and this could be your home or your groups retreat! Owner Finance is possible with a suitable down payment.
