Starlight Mountain | Elevated Eco-Retreat | House in Carbondale
3 Bedroom House in Carbondale
Settle into a one-of-a-kind straw bale home with sweeping views of Mount Sopris and the Roaring Fork Valley. This energy-efficient retreat blends rugged beauty with refined comfort—just minutes from downtown Carbondale. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 4 acres of high-country quiet, you'll enjoy a spacious patio, outdoor fireplace, and interiors that frame the mountains like art. Built for slow mornings, starlit nights, and stories worth retelling.
Out this way, time moves slower. Step through the hand-hewn doorway of this timeless Carbondale retreat, where thick straw bale walls hold warmth and quiet, and every window captures Mount Sopris in all its majesty. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area invite connection—anchored by stained concrete floors, a six-burner range, and a bar that seems made for late-night conversation. Picture windows frame endless skies, while natural textures and thoughtful details give the home a rhythm that feels both grounded and gracious.
Slide open the kitchen door to a sprawling patio designed for gathering: a built-in grill, lounge seating, outdoor dining, and a glowing gas fireplace beneath a string of bistro lights. Out here, Sopris watches over every meal and memory.
The main floor's primary suite offers a plush king bed and direct patio access, with a soaking tub perfectly placed beneath a picture window. Downstairs, a cozy lounge and two queen bedrooms offer privacy and rest, with blackout curtains and soft bedding that invite long, easy mornings. For an additional two, a queen-sized sleeper sofa can be pulled out in the additional living room area for a cozy nook to rest.
Set on 4 acres of open land, this home feels far from everything yet rests just two minutes from downtown Carbondale—or five minutes by bike. It's the real deal: a retreat that feels earned, not staged.
Perfect For: Couples or families seeking peace, space, and a deep connection to the Valley's landscape—those who prefer conversation around the fire to the rush of a crowd.
