Property Description

This custom, straw bale home on a quiet, dead-end street a short walk from the center of Moab. The home is fairly recent and in excellent condition. Straw bale and adobe plaster are very high in energy efficiency and nontoxic. It is on a .2 acre lot with garden space and mature shade trees, partially fenced. There are 3.3 kilowatts of solar panels on the roof. The home has an efficient on-demand water heater, infloor radiant heating in all rooms, and a woodburning stove. Two of the bedrooms have high lofts and all rooms have high-lofted aspen-planked ceilings. The interior finishes are custom earth plaster, natural slate tile, oak flooring, weathered cedar cabinets, or tadelakt plaster (the tadelakt is in both bathrooms). The neighborhood is zoned residential and there are no CC&Rs (except a 19' height limit should the home be replaced) and no HOA.

What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

The home has thick, energy- efficient straw bale walls, fairly new double paned windows, passive solar design, and solar panels.

Neighborhood Description

The lot is on a quiet, short, dead end street an easy 15 minute walk from downtown Moab, schools, the grocery store, ballfields, parks, the creek, the library, the post office, and music venues. The neighborhood is zoned residential and the street is fully built, so it is unlikely to get busier.

Market Area

Moab, Utah is famous for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation. The town has a population of 5,000 people and the county a population of 10,000. It is near two national parks (Arches and Canyonlands), millions of acres of federal public land, and canyons and creeks and a river famed for their beauty. 

School District

Our children are very young, so we don't know much about the Grand County School District. There is a small charter elementary school 3 blocks from the home.

Community

The town has a vibrant local culture with arts, local music, festivals, many restaurants, and active community engagement.
