You won't want to miss this beautiful custom Net-Zero bermed-earth passive solar home on 5.9 acres. A Mike Shealy design. Beautifully maintained. Ceiling is made of beetle-kill tongue-and-groove pine, and is 14 feet tall in the rear of the home, providing an extremely airy atmosphere throughout the structure. All the appliances are electric and powered by renewables. 5.2 k Watts of renewable capacity is enough to power the home, w/ some reserve available for other uses such as electric vehicles. Sealed and naturally cooled and heated. Maintenance-free interior adobe walls, tile, granite, massive exterior walls and artistic stained concrete floors all provide thermal mass to retain heating and cooling. Over-engineered w/ larger lumber sizes, to allow for more than normal amount of insulation, providing thermal benefits. A heat recovery ventilator recirculates fresh air for healthy living. A Woodstock high efficiency wood-burning stove is used about 5 times per year. All new Andersen windows (2023), w/ electric motors on the tall rear windows, operated by the push of a button. Sturdy steel roof, which qualifies it for lower insurance premiums. After a recent intense hailstorm all the homes in the area underwent roof replacements, but this home was unaffected. 2 bedrooms and a bedroom/studio. Office can be used for an additional bed. Many artistic features, such as beautiful compositions of custom tile-work and stained concrete floors. Well-maintained outbuildings, horse fence, animal runs, beehives, gardens, fruit trees, and much more. Second 5.4 acre lot, to the South, is available, under a separate listing. Undeveloped lot preserves the unobstructed view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. On a clear day, one can see the Spanish Peaks which are 100 miles away. Recent updates include a new well pump (2024) new outdoor shades (2024), 220-Volt EV Charger (2024), and new guttering (2023). This is more than a home. It is an experience, and provides a quality of life like no other.
