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 & 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 & naturally cooled & heated. Maintenance-free interior adobe walls, tile, granite, massive exterior walls & 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 & 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, & 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.
