Mountains to the Plains!

This is a unique and lovely passive solar home, designed with gardening and self sufficiency in mind.  There's a solar greenhouse with a forest garden off the living room. 

Outside are terraced gardens with years of soil development and a wide diversity of perennial plants and shrubs.   

This cozy home features an integrated radiant heating system fueled by wood or propane. Solar hot water.  Among other interesting elements are two octagonal bedrooms.

To the left is the attached greenhouse/garden.  This is a mature garden with a fruiting fig dominating the space.

The home receives lots of sun and has good views down the valley.  Not uncommon to Ward, there is an alternative septic system.

Enjoy fantistic, ice cold Rocky Mountain spring water right from the tap.  Some of the best water in the state!

There's hiking and cross country skiing on public lands right out the door in any direction.  It's only 1/4 mile to the Brainard Lake Road, gateway to the Indian Peaks Wilderness. 

Note the woodstove and tank in the corner.  The radiant hot water is pre-heated in this tank when there is a fire in the woodstove.  This means low heating bills.
