Simplicity at its finest. This newly built 2014/15 custom home is truly one of a kind! The 3-bedroom, 3-bath home boasts a large open living/dining/kitchen on the main level, a detached 2-car garage, and a grid tied solar system that provides 100% of the homes energy and heating needs. It rests on one acre in a peaceful valley with stunning views, privacy, less than 2 miles to Durango city limits and only 3 minutes to Bread! The interior is light and bright with custom craftsman details throughout, including a bamboo/slate staircase, acid-stained concrete floors, wall sconces, custom bath vanities and much more. The master suite features a private balcony and travertine/glass shower. The kitchen features bamboo cabinets, recycled PaperStone countertops, walnut bar top, repurposed pine shelves and stainless steel GE Profile appliances with an induction top range. Water and Sewer are part of the Ute Pass Water Association provided through the City of Durango. The future is here with new residential building techniques. Building a home that provides all the modern day amenities and minimal power bills has never been easier or more affordable. This home demonstrates just how easy and affordable that is! Please keep in mind two things when reading all the technical information below. One, that you can use as much power as you want at any time of the day or night. Second, that the systems used are actually more simple and easier to maintain than just about any conventional home. Also, the new construction cost per sq. ft. is equal to any other comparable new built home in the area. All the information and building products are on the market now for us to use. We just have to implement them in a strategic way! Here is how it works: All of the rooms face south and the house is oriented for optimal passive solar design and in this case views. State of the art technology and a 7kW PV solar system help to create a home that produces more power than it uses. The solar panels are Q-cells designed in Germany and a Sunnyboy inverter built in the USA. The extra power produced can be sold back to the power company once a year or used to help power other items like an electric car. The home is super insulated, about twice that of a conventional home with double-wall construction, Closed-cell foam under slab and roof, and triple pane windows made in the USA by Alpen High Performance Products in Boulder, CO. Other Green contributors include LED lighting, Venmar ECM HRV, energy star appliances, GE Geospring hybrid electric hot water heater, Mitsubishi Mr. Slim HyperHeat mini-splits and insulated blinds. All of these elements help produce a home with superior comfort that is quiet, cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. The exterior of the home features low maintenance stucco, Trex decking, and a ground level concrete patio. A portion of the backyard is fenced and the property has several maturing trees. There is no HOA and plenty of room for your kids to play and to house all the boats, bikes, toys, gardens and up to four horses. Walk through the backyard to explore a trail up Raider Ridge extended or a short stroll to the swimming pond in Ute Pass Subdivision. The garage has a lot of space for extra storage. Average monthly utility costs are $83 including water and sewer, with the opportunity to be paid some back by LPEA.
