Appointment Required

This is a straw bale home and not a conventionally built home. While this will give you a general overview, it is a partial house description. Reading about all the house's specific needs will help you determine whether this house is for you. Interested house buyers in this house need to read the full description before making an appointment. Contact me to obtain a Full House Description (or if you have any questions), and I will send you the entire document. Priority will be given to buyers with a letter of Pre-Approval Financing, Pre-qualification, and Cash Buyers who have read this Full House Description. 

Straw Bale Home Enthusiasts who are not looking to buy but are curious or want to see the house to get ideas about building their own straw bale house, upon request, I will arrange an open house for the curious and SB builders. Please understand that I do not have time to show the house to every interested party, but feel free to drive by to look at it.

Introduction

The house is fully functional and livable. I am the builder & owner of this straw bale home and own this house outright (no mortgage). I have built three straw bale houses in this area and have worked on several other straw bale projects. This house was built as my home; this means I put in extra quality work and features in this house. The heavy construction is complete, about 80%; some finish/detail work remains. Since this house is functional and completely livable, you can move in immediately and live there as you finish it. Nothing immediate is required, so you can complete the projects when it is convenient. It would take a full-time person about one month to complete the house. Equity-wise, you could hire out the work and still come out ahead.

While crime and rent prices escalate, buying a home in Custer County makes safe sense. Home prices in the country are lower, and our county jail recently closed due to too little crime.

House Completion Cost is Estimated at $30K. 

$30,000 gets you $110,000. As a reward or enticement for the $30K sweat equity, I subtracted $110K (not $30K) from my finished home price of $345K. This not only dramatically lowered the price of the house to $235,000; it created a 350% return on your sweat equity/expense. In effect, your $30K investment and sweat equity will not only earn back your initial $30K, but it will instantly add $80K in home equity (totaling $110K). This will bring the home’s value to $345,000.

There is no well installed yet, and some electrical, plumbing and light construction remains to be completed. The sweat equity offer has two equal phases. One is $15K for installing a water well, and the other is $15K for construction completion. Neither requires immediate attention, as alternatives are in place. They can be performed at your convenience.

Presently, I haul my water and maintain a sufficient 2450 gallons of potable household water (a year's supply) in a freeze-free, underground cistern, including a 400-gallon cistern in the home. Since the house is without a well, I adjusted the price of the house so the buyer can drill a well for about $15K, while increasing the home's equity/value to $290K. The estimated cost breakdown for drilling a water well on this property is $8,000 at $40 a foot up to 160 feet (the average depth of water wells in this immediate area). The pump, plumbing/wiring, and trench are separate expenses, bringing the overall cost to about $15K. Here in the Wet Mountains, water is abundant: one neighbor hit water at 60 feet but drilled to 150 feet to be safe. After a heavy rain, a budding artesian well tries to push water up from underneath the road in front of my home, creating a wet spot. 

If the house has not sold by September of 2025, I will initiate the drilling to make the home more desirable. At that time, the $55K incentive for installing the well will no longer be offered. And it will increase the price of the house to $290,000.

Essential plumbing and electrical wiring, including kitchen/bath sinks, shower, and a new Biolet composting toilet, have been installed and are operational. With the well drilled, the second part of the sweat equity option remains, which is $15K for completing some basic household plumbing, electricity, and miscellaneous work. Most of the electrical and plumbing materials required to finish the house have been purchased and included with the house. Upon completing this work on the house, you'll have earned an added equity of $40K, increasing the home's equity by another $55,000 – bringing your home's value to $345,000. * The final expenses and earned equity would depend on your choices of added esthetics.
 
*Price & Equity

While I am motivated to sell, I own the property outright with no mortgage, so it is not distressed or in foreclosure. 

How did I arrive at the $235,000 price of the house? I took into consideration the asking prices for regional Straw Bale Homes on the market, which are commonly between $360K and $460K (with some exceptions). 

I averaged four estimates: Chase's $381K ($480K High Range), FSBO's $342K ($420 High), and Rocket Homes' $346K for finished conventional Homes. Most important was the selling price of a Straw Bale House I had built locally. It was listed at $375,000 and recently sold for $355,000. However, his property has outbuildings and 11 acres, 6 acres more than my property. So, I adjusted his selling price to $300,000 and averaged all four estimates. My home's averaged vale would be $235,000 when finished. 
(Link to Sold SB House which I built:)  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/533-Aspen-Trail-Rd-Westcliffe-CO-81252/194790856_zpid/ 

The Straw Bale Home industry states that building costs for SB homes are 15% above that of conventional houses. This strawbale home would have an added value of $51,000 over a conventional home. This could increase the completed home value to $396,000. However, since this is new to me and I have not yet verified the 15% increase in costs, I decided not to consider the increased value of the Straw Bale Home at this time. While it is more likely to be true than not, this would apply more to a completed house. I intend to pass the 15% value on to the buyer. 

Bottom line: If my finished house sold today, it would sell between $325,000 and $365,000 +.

I worked out equity incentives and a buyer-favorable financial plan that would make owning this home attainable. Additionally, for the buyer's long-term security of keeping the home (and financial investment), I'll provide a low fixed interest rate with low monthly payments. The discounted price, sweat equity, and owner-financing would not only provide the buyer with an affordable home, but low monthly payments would also minimize the risk of future financial distress or foreclosure. At the price of $235,000 (50% of the completed home price), I am providing the following incentives with affordable monthly payments to sell the house quickly.

(1) I used the lower estimated home values to assess this home's value. 

(2) At this time, I am waiving the increased 15% Straw Bale Home Value – as this is new to me, and I have not yet verified it. I'll be passing it on to the buyer. That potential 15% ($51,000) would increase the completed home value to $393,000. However, I am using $345K as the completed home value with which to determine my home’s value. (detailed later).

(3) $30K of sweat equity/investment will earn an added $80,000 in equity, or $110,000* total value ($110K deducted from the finished estimate of $345K). 

(4) With a $135K down payment, I am offering owner financing with affordable monthly payments. With 2% fixed interest and a 30-year mortgage of around $358 a month, you'll have avoided paying a bank up to $2200 monthly at 6.5% and saved $125K in long-term interest. (Financing proposed below) 

(5) I'll guarantee your well will hit water, or I'll pay for half the cost, up to $7,500, of drilling if you drill a well in the first three months and no water is discovered (Detailed below).

(6) Rural Water Well Financing is available for up to $15K, 1%, 20 Years, No credit check, No collateral. 

(7) I'll pay half the buyer's agent fee, up to $2,500.

(8) The above discounts, incentives, and reduced interest total about $223K+ and are offered at the discounted price of $235,000.

Cash buyers will be given a discount of at least 10% (twice the percentage of the usual 5%).

I took the initiative in the above proposals on behalf of the buyer (as well as myself). I tried to see everything from your (the buyer's) perspective and needs as if I were in your place. Affording and securing the long-term possession of the home is of the utmost importance. While I attempted to cover the most important concerns of the buyer, if I missed something that you are concerned about, let me know. We can include it in the terms.

The home price of $235K and the down $135K payment would satisfy my minimal needs. This is what it would cost today to build this home to its present state of construction. It is the lowest price I am willing to take for the house while providing owner financing and mentioned incentives. I can be more flexible with all cash.

Notice: Price Increase from $235K to $290K

The following is based on the lower finished house estimate of $345K.Since the property does not have a water well, I discounted the property by $110K to $235K. I offer buyers the option to install the well for about $15K (the average estimate) and receive an added instant equity of $40K—totaling $55K, increasing the home's equity/value to $290,000. 

However, if the home does not sell by mid-summer, I will be drilling the water well in the summer of 2025 to make the home more attractive to the buyer. I will pocket the added equity for the well by increasing the home's value and asking price to $290K. 

So, if you're interested in the added well equity, there may still be time before I have the well drilled. You can take over, keep the cost of the home at $235K, and earn $55K equity upon drilling the well. Three drillers agreed on the same drill location and estimated the minimal depth of a water well is about 160 feet, and at $45 per foot to drill ($7,500). The pump, trenching, plumbing, and electric connections to the home will run about $8,000. Installing a well for $15K will earn you (or me) an added $40K ($55K total) in equity and increase the value and price of the house to $290,000. If I pay for the well, the proposed sweat equity of $30K will be reduced to $15K for house finish work, providing you with $40K equity – but you will have a well!

Is the price of $290K for the home with a well more appealing than paying $235K? For some, the assurance of a well may be worth it. For others needing to economize or capitalize, the lower price provides an advantageous equity plan that would be more profitable for the buyer to put in the well. With water so shallow and abundant, I will guarantee a working well up to 200 feet if you have it drilled during the first three months. If the well is dry, I will pay half of the well's cost, up to $ 7,500, with a minimum depth of 160 feet (detailed below). If you are inclined to put in the well yourself, consider the favorable water well financing in the following paragraph.

Well Financing: There is a non-profit program that finances water wells in rural areas that you/anyone can apply for; No credit check or collateral is required. 1% interest, up to $15K, which can be repaid over 20 years 

Creative Owner Financing 

With $135K down, I can offer a fixed interest rate of 2% for up to 30 years with fair credit and a mortgage payment of about $358 a month. This is far more economical than paying 6.5% to a bank @ $853 a month and saving you $125,000 in interest).

If you wish to propose a reasonable lower amount than the asking price, I may be able to off-set the difference by renegotiating some or all the incentives/commitments mentioned. (Unusually low offers will not be considered until the end of 2025.)

Cash buyers will be given a discount of at least 10% (twice the percentage of the usual 5%). If there is no need for some or all the incentives mentioned, I may be able to adjust the price (depending on the incentive removed). Buying the house outright with cash, without the incentives, as is - so I can walk away, will get you the best price.

Creative Financing - Trade
I am open to the following options – Trade for establishing a 5-year minimum internet presence and marketing a book I wrote, Inner Passage of the Sixth Chakra. I need someone who is experienced in internet marketing and can commit to this project for at least five years. It will be part-time, long-term, for a few hours on average each week. You would earn a guaranteed monthly cash payment, a minimum of $50K over a period of five years (not including your share of royalties). This is comparable to seven years of finance payments. (A serious, committed novice willing to learn the business will be considered.). Will consider remote land for temporary lease or trade.

(If interested, Part Il of the house description (including the work that needs to be done) is a must-read before making an appointment to see the house. I will send you the full description upon request.) [email protected]

The following Full House description (Part II) details the house's description and, most importantly, the breakdown of projects the home will need for its completion.

Location and Area: 
 
The home is in Custer County, in the South-Central Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It is on 5 acres of hills, with 400+ pine trees. It is on a cul-de-sac road with minimal to no traffic. There are two other homes on this road; one is a summer retreat. You'll have most of the area to yourself. While the Home Owners Association no longer meets or enforces covenants, it is not entirely dissolved, and the covenants are still applicable. Custer County's population is 4,700, and it is not a major tourism center, so living here is quiet and easy. Westcliffe is the nearest town, 18 miles north. Pueblo is 65 miles to the east. Colorado Springs is 75 miles north. Denver is 135 miles away. The 70-mile-long Sangre De Cristo mountain range, with 14,000-foot peaks, is 10 miles across the valley. Hiking, backpacking, biking.

Pine trees cover the area with occasional meadows and grassland valleys. Electric lines are underground. The homes in the area are on five-acre parcels with county-maintained roads (including winter snow removal). The value of the custom-built houses in the area ranges from $250K to $2M. There are a few newer modular homes but no mobile homes.
 
This property sits in the Wet Mountains at 8950 feet elevation and above a 7500-foot-high valley that runs at the base and length of the snow-capped mountain range. The name Wet implies an abundance of shallow water (60 to 100 feet) as it rains here more than in other areas. The property has abundant wildlife. I continuously see deer, bobcats, lynx, coyotes, a few bears, foxes, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and a beautiful variety of birds. Several deer trails crisscross the property. The animals are free to roam with few fences in the area. It is very quiet and peaceful here. I love the contrast of the winter in a warm, imperviable straw bale home, yet the house is cool in the summer. It has been the ideal setting to concentrate on a book I've been writing. I stopped working on the house when it was livable to start writing. 
 
The house sits on a slightly sloped northern side of a pine-forested hill above a meadow known as Antelope Valley, the name of the subdivision. The house's interior is 1200 sq. ft., and the exterior is 1400 sq. ft. (Keep in mind the straw bale walls are 20" deep with a stucco coat.) It has two bay-front type entrances. If viewed as two sections perpendicular to each other and sharing a common wall, the house's exterior dimensions are 30' x 25' and 30' x 21', plus an 8' x 8' rear entry mud room with a storage loft. See the floor plan.

House Details
               
Hard Work's Done - Needs Finish Work 

The Main or Master Bedroom: The main bedroom (or Great Room) is 28' x 22' @ 600 sq. ft., with plenty of windows for soft northern light exposure, a sliding glass door, and a 12-foot cathedral ceiling.

The great room/ bedroom can be subdivided to create an additional bedroom or office. There is also level ground to expand the house to the west (on the right as you look at the front) as well as east of the house. 

(Note: The main bedroom floor needs to be finished with brick, 3" earth-fill (or whatever material you choose), over a base of existing 4 to 6 inches of earth-fill. 

An open spaced Loft/Bedroom is 20' x 12' @ 240 sq. ft. above the Kitchen and Bathroom and oversees the living room, with a window view of several acres of forest. Behind the loft’s wall are household water tanks, 400 gallons.

The efficient Kitchen space is - 9' x 12' @ 110 sq. ft. It has the rear entrance/exit to the house via an 8x8 Mud-room/Storage room with an added mini-loft for extra storage - 4x8. This mud room has a Dutch Door entrance. 

The kitchen has a two-year-old Whirlpool refrigerator - 21 cubic ft. (Retail $1000). The kitchen is plumbed for propane, has all the essentials in place, and is fully functional. However, it has temporary furnishings. It needs a full cook stove, counters and cabinets, and a sink replacement.

A Radiant Floor Heating hose is installed in the earth floor in the kitchen in conjunction with the earth floor in the living room. A heat source, pump, and installation are required.
 
The kitchen opens up to the Living Room area - 20' x 17' @ 340 sq. ft., with a 14' high cathedral ceiling, and is shared with the loft. The main entrance to the house is in the living room. The room has a bay window with two opening windows, and there is a second large opening window. 

One bathroom - 9' x 12' @ 110 sq. ft.
A high-end Biolet Composting Toilet, $2100, is installed and requires no water - a savings of 20+ gallons per day. A flushing toilet drain is installed, should you prefer to install a conventional toilet. An efficient manual flush urinal is installed. The shower/bathtub is provisionally served by a 7-gallon electric hot water heater for brief showers. A washing machine drain is installed in the bathroom (no washing machine). The septic tank is in place and operational. Sewage/septic is complete and operational.

The Custom Entry Doors are simple and energy efficient. The doors are unique, 4 inches thick, and have an 18 R-value. This is at least four times better than conventional doors.
 
The living room and kitchen Earth Floor is made of 6 to 8 inches of earth clay and sand (adobe - See photos). The bathroom and bedroom have pumice-crete floors. The pumice in the floor contributes about a 12+ R-value to the floor (beyond concrete's R-3). Meanwhile, the rest of the house has an earth-clay-sand adobe floor six inches deep that is cool in the summer, and it acts as a thermal–mass that captures ambient heat (from pellet stove/propane heater) and radiates it back into the house throughout the night (when I have the heat off). 

In other words, it will keep you and your feet warm in the winter and the entire house cool in the summer. In addition to the earth floor throughout the living area and the kitchen, radiant floor heat tubing is embedded in the floor. A pump and heat source are needed to make this operational. This will add substantially to the heat radiation and distribution throughout the floor and house. Heating costs will be substantially reduced. 

Although the living area and kitchen are carpeted, the floor has multi-layer coats of earth-tinted (reddish brown) varnish finish, a nice semi-gloss, and looks very earthy (as seen in the pictures).
 
Heating: The energy heating efficiency of a strawbale design is not just an ecological concern. It is an economic concern when, in our later years of life, we'll need to have more control over the increasing cost of heating fuel. 
 
In the main living area (including the living room, kitchen, loft, and bath), you have a highly efficient ecological Englander Pellet Stove ($1200) as the primary heat source (90% smokeless, $350/year for pellets to operate). 

Behind the stove is a traditional adobe wall made of earth adobe bricks for ideal heat retention and radiance. The wall is unconventional in that it is a completely interior wall, and it has a wood stove on the other side, in the main bedroom, adding to the house's heating efficiency.

A high-end Rinnai Propane Heater heats the home in 30 minutes with a quick warm-up in the early winter mornings, 30,000 Btus. That gives the propane enough time to heat up and take over for the rest of the day and night.

Radiant Floor Heating hoses are embedded in the earth-floor of the kitchen and living room. A heater and pump will be required to complete the system. This low-cost, ecological efficiency heating will keep you comfortably warm during the coldest days of winter. You're heating bill will be cheaper than any conventional home, 

In the summer, no AC is needed, as the strawbale insulation and earth floor construction (and all the pine trees) keep the house cool on the hottest days.
 
POST AND BEAM CONSTRUCTION gives this house a strong building frame, which carries the load for the house. (This is not load-bearing strawbale construction.) Each 8" to 10" post throughout the house is bolted to an anchor made of angle iron (1/4" x 4" x 4" by 2 feet), which is embedded up to 4 feet of reinforced concrete.
 
STRAW BALE WALLS are an insulation infill between the posts of the frame, providing an extremely well-insulated building. In fact, there is no other better-insulated house. The straw bale/wall, 20 inches thick, has a 56 R-value – which is 2 to 3 times the warmth of a conventional house. Conventional houses are rated as low as 19 R-value.

This house has the essential breathable lime plaster and stucco inside and out, which was traditionally applied by hand (which means it is securely bonded and creatively detailed). Windows: Double pane, insulated windows are installed throughout the home. 
 
The Footer/Stem Wall, on which the bales sit, is 18" wide and made of a Portland cement pumice mix (no sand). This footer has created an unheard-of 20 R-value for a pumice-crete foundation. (Concrete/sand mix commonly used is R-3 and acts as a cold-conductor rather than acting as an insulator.)
 
The Roof and Cathedral Ceiling are a gentle 12/3 pitch, which will help control the snow from sliding off the roof, adding to the roof's insulation, and it allows for capturing rainwater in an existing 1500-gallon concrete cistern (emergency-water supply/storage and fire protection).

The roof is made with wooden 18" TJIs Truss/Joists I-beams, which are more commonly used in much more expansive construction such as warehouses. (8" to 12" TJIs are more common in home construction). 

These I-beams not only give an unusually strong roof load for the heaviest snow, but they allow for 18 inches of roof insulation up to 54 R-value. Loose but packed straw in large bags were used for roof insulation. The snow on the roof does not melt quickly; this is an indication the well-insulated roof is not losing heat. The accumulated snow on the roof also adds to the house's insulation.
 
The roof overhang, or the eves, extends 42" further than the usual 24" and effectively gives added protection for the stucco and straw bale construction from the rain and snow.

The pitch of the roof is seen on the inside as a gentle cathedral ceiling, with large exposed center beams supporting the roof. The roof has mineral-surfaced roll roofing and is in good condition. No Leaks.

Upon building my house, I put off drilling a well so I could apply my funds toward the construction of the house and getting a roof over my head.

Water Supply: Even though groundwater is abundant, no water well has been installed yet. Instead, interior supply tanks, which provide 400 gallons of water, are installed and operational. Interior water supply means no freezing, plus water continues to be available as gravity-fed water during power outages, though rare. After the well is installed, this would still be the ideal reservoir set-up. 

An estimate of $15K investment equity is allotted for the installation of a water well, although it could be cheaper. However, if you want to save $15K by postponing a well, you can haul your water until you are ready for a well. And the $70K well discount will keep the cost at $235K. 

Two hundred seventy-five (275) gallons of household water is hauled with my half-ton truck eight times a year, costing $120 a year. Four 275-gallon water-hauling/storage tanks are included. This is how water will be supplied to the home until the well is installed. The total water storage capacity is 2450 gallons and is a year's supply for one person. An extra 275-gallon tote is not in use. Presently, I have a seldom-driven 1996 Ford F150, a reliable 4x4 work truck that can be sold ($3,000) with the house if needed. I use it for hauling water, pellets, firewood, and snow removal, as well as an emergency backup vehicle.

A 1500 gal. concrete cistern has also been installed/buried with the top exposed and with straw bales insulating the top so it will not freeze during the winter. The cistern is presently filled and rough-plumbed to the house. The cistern can also serve as an available water supply for a fire emergency. This cistern will lower homeowners' insurance.

Drilling a residential water well costs $45 per foot or $15,300 on average for a complete system and installation. Water is abundant and close to the ground surface. I can show you how and where to use Divining Rods to detect water underground on my property - You can compare weak spots to some very strong areas. Neighbors at the top of the hill next to my house hit water at 60 ft. and again at 150+ ft. Guarantee: At the asking price of the house, if you install a well within the first six months of purchasing the property, I will guarantee reimbursement of half the cost of drilling the first well for water up to $10,000 if you do not hit water within 250 feet, and as long as we agree on the driller's recommendation where the well will be drilled. 

What other work needs to be done to complete the house? 

The essential projects that will complete the house are some electrical, some plumbing, contemporary kitchen cabinets, a sink, and a stove, which are not included. And the main bedroom floor needs finishing. I didn't want to invest/install cabinets, counters, etc., only to have them taken out for the style you prefer. 

Household water, sewage, plumbing, and electricity are functional and in use. Temporary in-wall plumbing is in place for the house water supply but should be replaced. All plumbing is designed to go into an accessible interior wall (thus, no freezing) shared by the kitchen and bathroom. I have all the PEX plumbing materials. PEX is the best water supply pipe in household plumbing), and it is included with the home.

Most of the interior electrical wiring is installed under the floor but needs some additional wiring/work in the walls. Temporary lighting will need to be replaced with your choice of lighting. I have already purchased most of the basic electric supplies/materials, and they are included (other than the supply line).

The floor in the main bedroom needs finishing. - e.g., brick, compact earth-fill, or whatever you wish. It has 4 inches of hardened earth fill as a base. The bathroom pumice floor could use a final coat of pigment/sealant. 

Presently, the house is fully functional and livable. If you were to finish the essential work yourself, you would save about $12k in labor costs. 
 
Miscellaneous: Some minor trim and paneling needs to be installed. Two new 5-gallon electric hot water heaters are installed, one for an efficient shower and one for the kitchen and bathroom sinks. They can be upgraded to a larger capacity. An 11' interior divider wall between the master bedroom and the living room needs to be installed/finished (like the loft wall in pictures). Presently, temporary straw bales are used as a divider.

Electrical and plumbing supplies and materials are included in the price. Everything in the house, including the refrigerator, pellet stove, wood stove, furniture, and fixtures, is included. Building materials, lumber, and storage camper are included on the property. Construction tools and the work truck are negotiable.
