Green energy efficient mountain home with active and passive solar, straw bale/concrete construction, R49 insulation and hook-up for a back-up generator. Stucco/wood exterior and metal roof. The views are absolutely breathtaking from both inside and outside the home as you look out across the meadows towards the mountains and the surrounding rock formations. There is a temporary stream that runs through the property in the Spring when the snow melts off of the rocks. Inside you will find vaulted aspen tongue and groove ceilings and stamped concrete floors. Multiple South facing windows provide excellent passive solar heating during the winter months. Radiant floor heat and a cozy wood burning stove provide extra warmth. Electric works primarily off the grid but has grid backup. New hot water heater installed in 2010. Grow your own vegetables or flowers in the indoor atrium planters and the outdoor greenhouse. The barn has a workshop area, upper-level storage area, a power/water room, a root cellar and is tall enough to park a large RV. There is also a 2-car carport for additional parking and an outdoor kennel for your furry family members. The annual land owner's association dues take care of road maintenance. The topography is great for hiking and horseback riding and is very scenic with large and dramatic rock formations. There is an abundance of birds and other wildlife year round.
