Three years ago the owners had a highly efficient solar system installed on the home by Durango's Bailey Plumbing, which lowered propane heating costs roughly 30% during sunny winter months. So many custom and convenience features in the home - 6 zones of in-flloor radiant heat, central vac system throughout, fresh air recirculating fans, built-in speakers, security system, wet bar w frig, lots of artistic down lighting, beautiful front door, circular driveway for lots of guest vehicles, and a 1691 sf three bay garage, one of which is oversized to accommodate a boat or RV. Three ponds are tiered for a recirculating water feature. Fenced in garden area with water running to it outside the garage, and the property has been pre-fire mitigated, making it easy to insure. This portion of Trappers Crossing has been chipsealed; and it is just five minutes away from the new Lake Nighthorse, a 5500 ac reservoir currently scheduled to open in 2015.
