PRIVATE ARCHITECTURAL MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY ON 2.52 ACRES Discover a rare expression of architecture, nature and sustainable living in Flagstaff's forested Mountainaire area. This custom straw-constructed residence was thoughtfully designed around the land, creating an exceptional connection between indoor and outdoor living. A natural rock outcropping becomes part of the living room itself, while soaring ceilings, an interior balcony overlooking the great room and abundant natural light create an architectural experience unlike a conventional mountain home. Designed for both beauty and performance, the residence incorporates passive and active solar design, onsite energy storage, radiant hydronic in-floor heating--including the garage--energy-efficient Sierra Sierra Pacific windows, Viking appliances and an upgraded metal roof. Stained concrete and bamboo flooring add warmth and natural character. Mountain Living Magazine calling the property an 'artistic journey'! Beyond the walls, the property becomes its own private retreat. Meandering onsite trails, meditation gardens and edible landscaping create spaces for quiet reflection, gardening, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding forest. The flexible floor plan currently offers two bedrooms with the potential to create a third bedroom or additional studio, library or office space. A two-car garage, RV parking and private setting add everyday functionality, while convenient access to I-17 keeps Flagstaff within easy reach. For the buyer seeking something beyond a conventional mountain home, 3148 Pioneer Trail offers a rare opportunity to own architecture that was designed not simply on the land--but with it.
