This stunning Southwest style ranch home sits on just over 3.1 beautifully landscaped acreage and is a meticulously maintained passive solar home. This gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bath home has an open floor plan with spectacular views from every room in the house. The construction of this home is amazing with 2-foot thick concrete/rammed earth Santa Fe walls with rounded corners and hand-formed display niches, southern yellow pine ceilings, and extensive hand-hewn wood beams. Enjoy the 4 kiva fireplaces that warm up huge expansive rooms as the sun shines through a wall of Pella windows. Beautiful Santa Fe brick floors cover the entire house, and together with the 2-foot solid masonry walls provide a huge thermal mass for solar and in floor heat. Each main living area has a hand shaped kiva-style wood burning fireplace with an individual outside-air inlet to conserve thermal energy. A house length wall of Pella thermal pane windows and the five separate skylights provide sunlight in every room and thermal cooling in the summer. There are also four separate zones for the in floor heat in the brick flooring. Outside there are three native stone patios in ground programmable expandable sprinkling/drip systems creating an amazing park like setting. Enjoy all this 5 star energy rated southwest style home has to enjoy in tall pines just 15 minutes from town.
