Description: Light filled 3 bed, 1.5 bath tucked deep into a secluded forested cul-de-sac in Chalet II of the Baca Grande Neighborhood. Sweeping views of the San Luis Valley surround the house on three sides, while the fourth side presents the grandeur of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Built into the side of the hill and with abundant south facing windows, this house was designed like and Earthship to handle the bitter cold nights with passive solar heat, supplemented with on-demand, 4-zoned radiant hot water heat throughout the house, and a beautiful Kiva in the living room. The same design keeps the house cool in the summer with airflow through the windows. The home was originally designed by Steve Elliott in 1998 and only with one previous owner, with the greenhouse and sunroom addition designed by green architect Michael Bertin. The open concept living space features exposed wood beam vaulted ceilings, stucco archways, white oak and tile floors, and some of the best views of the region. The beautiful open concept space includes a large chef’s kitchen and desk nook, both of which open to separate balconies overlooking the mountains and valley. Downstairs, the three bedrooms share a large bathroom, while the primary opens to a beautiful sunroom with its own Morso high efficiency wood stove. To generate additional heat and grow food all year round, a large attached south facing greenhouse overlooks the outdoor gardens, and generates heat year round. Nestled inside the greenhouse is a 6” diameter wood fired hot tub, with the additional green feature of draining into a 400 gallon cistern to water the gardens. Ample, terraced gardens below the home include 5 heirloom apple trees, while the greenhouse grows frost sensitive plants year round without any supplemental heat: rosemary, citrus, avocados, tomatoes. Additional features of the home include 6” walls with fiberglass insulation, a new metal roof, and an 18’ x 12’ insulated storage building. Check out the virtual tour!
