Hike, bike or cross country ski out your front door! Custom quality, craftsman style, home adjoins BLM and is extremely energy efficient. Here's a beautiful high quality home, that's custom built on 13 plus acres with a sense of privacy, and yet it's close to town. You will feel like you stepped into a "pottery barn" magazine when you enter this home. There is a solar water system with pex radiant in floor heat that makes this home unbelievably energy efficient. The owners moved into the home in August of 2011 and filled the propane tank at that time. Near the end of March in 2012, they added their first propane which was a little over $400. They bought one cord of wood before winter and have used that in their Lenox high-efficiency fireplace, which has a fan, nearly every night and they still had about one quarter of a cord of wood left over in early April. This house is extremely energy efficient and will make your total household costs less every month. Because of the active and passive solar, the owners say the "regular heat through the boiler" almost never comes on. Thus their propane use is really just for cooking! This single level home has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and over 2100 square feet that is so well designed and laid out that it lives much larger. There are custom alder cabinets throughout the home, from Colorado Custom Cabinetry, and a center island with an antique-rubbed dark green finish with seating on one side and the range flanking the opposite side. The kitchen has a large hand crafted soap stone sink and beautiful soap stone countertops. All appliances are stainless Kitchen Aide and even includes a built in wine fridge. The master bedroom has lots of natural light streaming in through the generous windows. The master bath has travertine tile, and oversized soaking tub, doorless walk in shower and custom cabinetry. You will live large here without paying for it! WATER SYSTEM: Property shares the water well with the home to the east where the well is located. When installed it was 10 gallons a minute and was an artesian well (static water level 0!). The neighbor treats his water as follows: chlorine tablets in the water well every couple of months and they have a reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink, as well as a water softener, of course. See the chemical analysis of the water in Associated Documents. Seller should have the water line from that well hooked up to their home before the summer is up. They have already installed a 1800 gallon cistern on their property and frankly have just been having water delivered while they had the house under construction and since they've moved in. It is anticipated that a buyer would also want to install a reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen sink and put in their own water softener.
