Sustainable custom designed home located on over beautiful 5 acres! Imagine waking up in a home that symbolizes the totality of feeling and spirit that make up "life in the mountains" perfectly blended with environmentally-based architecture. This home's custom design features are so thoughtfully implemented, reflecting energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and contemporary style. Architecturally designed in 2008, no detail was neglected from the overall site selection and passive solar orientation to the high-quality, sustainable building materials. Designed all on one-level level to capture the views, every habitable room in this home features true solar gain in the winter and cross ventilation for cooling, with a partial earth berm behind, providing consistent and comfortable interior temperatures inside the home throughout the seasons, thus reducing energy use and offering substantial cost savings. The kitchen is basked in sunlight with Silestone counter tops, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, high end cabinetry with soft-close deep drawers and custom organizers, pantry with built in chalkboard door, and breakfast bar built in to the central island. Each bedroom offers an exterior door, and the master suite enjoys a pass-through his and her closets to the master bath. The Slab on grade construction allows for a true thermal mass to heat up and radiate in addition to the in-floor hydronic heating system with temperature controls in each room. Or you could opt to heat the entire home with a cozy fire in the high-efficiency wood stove, open to the kitchen, dining, and living area. Summertime is ideal with solar gain shaded, cool mountain breezes, and sliding patio doors opening to gorgeous views on a patio surrounded by native landscaping and wildflowers. Enjoy a 2-car garage, with unfinished studio space above, dog door below out to a fenced 40' x 40' yard, and a 2-stall horse barn with covered hay storage and tack room. Green Building Features include commercial grade metal roofing (high recycled steel content), structurally insulated exterior wall panels and extra insulated walls, blown-in insulation in the attic, low VOC paint and zeriscaped outdoor living. National Forest Access abounds to enjoy all this beautiful place has to offer. Visit Associated Docs for a features list and additional information
