The story
- Basement
Built to last on 10 level acres with panoramic San Francisco Peaks views, no HOA, and room for horses. Designed as a passive-solar home, it uses the sun, the home's orientation, windows, and thermal mass to collect, store, and distribute heat. A south-facing greenhouse with skylights, south windows, and attic vents gathers warmth, and Trombe-style block walls store it and move air through the house. Open or close the vents to bring greenhouse warmth inside in winter or help keep things cool in summer, and adjust the two end skylights by hand to fine-tune the temperature, all helping lower heating and cooling costs. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a gas fireplace anchor the open living and dining area, and the kitchen offers a gas range and walk-in pantry. A main-level primary suite with a bath plumbed for a tub is joined by a bonus room, loft, den, and space for another bedroom. Solid construction throughout: 2x6 framing, heavy-duty beams placed for future upstairs additions, copper water lines, and electrical sized for add-ons. The house, both garages, and the barn all received new roofs with 30-year shingles in August 2026, installed by a licensed roofing company, with a warranty that transfers to the buyer. The front deck is reinforced and wired for a hot tub. The attached and detached garages are identical in size, extra deep and extra wide, with room for 4 vehicles plus a workshop. The barn has individual stalls, each with its own heated watering system, a reinforced upper level, and water lines under pavers for easy access. Exterior stalls sit on solid poured columns, and the property is perimeter fenced with corrals and a dog run. Water is well planned: a shared well, a 1,500-gallon fresh-water backup tank under the east deck that's ready to use if the well ever has issues, and a 10,000-gallon buried tank that collects rain runoff. County-maintained road. Short-term rentals allowed. Sold as-is with a home warranty for the buyer.
