This stunning modern, sustainable and ecological home in the mountains near El Cajas National Park is a slice of heaven. This unusual, contemporary home is divided into a two-bedroom fully-furnished 1.830 sq, ft. main house and a two-bedroom basement suite that is 818 sq. ft, with a living, dining, kitchen area, plus a dedicated laundry room. Downstairs there is also a huge pantry, perfect for preparers or chefs, who want to ensure that an unlimited food supply is readily available.

The living areas have sweeping vaulted wood ceilings. German floating floors bring warmth and ambiance to the home. Partial zones including in the master bedroom and in the offices have heated flooring. The PVC double-glazed windows keep the home perfectly insulated, and the imported pot-belly wood stove in the living room provides a cozy feel on those chilly mountain evenings.
The 15,500 sq. meter lot is breathtaking, with unspoiled and serene valley, mountain, and pasture land views. A lovely wrap-around terrace lets the outdoors in and is perfect for watching the amazing sunsets or for an early morning view of the fog lifting over the mountains.
