This 6000 SF custom home is located in the foothills of the Rockies featuring cathedral ceilings and tall windows which provide an abundance of light and views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. A central vaulted ceiling decorated with wood beams stretches east-west and connects the common rooms of the open floor plan like a spine. The home features a walk-out basement facing the southern views with a kitchenette and bar, game room, and home theater as well as four guest bedrooms. A loft sits above the garage and adjacent to the kitchen looking out onto the common rooms below as well as the best views of the mountains. Deep porches shade the windows from the summer sun on the South facade and allow light to penetrate deep into the house during the winter providing a passive solar design while photovoltaic panels sit flat on the steep southern roof providing solar power year round.
