Sustainable Southwest living at its unique best at the end of a cul-de-sac on a large 2+ acre lot in Eldorado/ Santa Fe. Built with thick rammed earth walls like the Great Wall of China, it will stand long after its neighbors. The walls keep the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Designed with passive solar efficiency and a 3.27 kW solar voltaic system that eliminates electric bills with an estimated saving of $28,000 over the next 25 years. The house exudes Santa Fe charm with Saltillo tile, bancos and high viga beamed ceilings in every room. The kitchen is the heart of the home, a great gathering place for family and friends surrounded by the living room with its Rumford fireplace, master bedroom, bath and walk-in closet, 2 guest bedrooms, and solarium for plants and office. Landscaping includes a beautiful front entry courtyard, and a stucco walled-in garden . Exterior landscaping is supported by an automated drip irrigation system and a 1250 gallon cistern capturing water from runoff. Enjoy the gorgeous sunsets and star filled skies from the private observation deck built above the covered patio ramada. This home borders a greenbelt, easy access for dog walking or biking. A perfect place to call home.
