About this home
Welcome to “LA MILPA,” a truly one-of-a-kind Earthship home on 40.23 private acres in Penrose! Built in 1994, this remarkable 3,022 sq ft home with 2 bedrooms, 1 full & 1 three-quarter bath blends passive-solar design, earth-sheltered construction and renewable energy with warm Southwestern character with A NEW ROOF TO BE INSTALLED! A long wall of south-facing glass fills the home with natural light, while the opposite side is sheltered by the earth and thick walls incorporate earth-packed tires and repurposed materials beneath the stucco finish. Inside, discover beautiful wood ceilings, tile floors, skylights with built-in blinds, architectural planters, 2 Kiva-style fireplaces, a Stow’s Duplex wood-burning stove, Family Room, Office/Den and spacious Kitchen with Sun Frost refrigerator and propane range. Solar with battery backup works alongside the Black Hills Energy grid, with a wind generator also present. Outside, enjoy a courtyard with pergola & Horno pizza/bread oven, 2-car garage/workshop, 2 chicken coops, 2 sheds and an underground cellar. The separate “Lavender Cottage” offers an additional 640 sq ft studio/retreat (included in total above grade sq ft) with exposed beams, skylights, propane heat, screened covered patio/sunroom and space for a future bath & mini kitchen—opening possibilities for guests, extended family or potential rental use, subject to applicable requirements. Private well & septic. Ownership includes a 1/44th interest in approximately 36-acre Rathke Park for additional recreation. This Byway of Colorado makes perfect location for commuting to Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or Canon City, in roughly 30 mins each way, while still enjoying peaceful country living. The private setting becomes even more magical after sunset with spectacular night skies and, at times, views of the Milky Way! La Milpa is not simply a home— it is an opportunity to experience a completely different way of living with the land....
