About This Home

This custom home was designed and built, not assembled-crafted for exceptional privacy, longevity, and intentional living. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a flexible bonus room, this thoughtfully designed retreat welcomes you with an open floor plan featuring exposed steel trusses and panoramic mountain views, filling the space with natural light. Backing directly to the National Forest, the home provides unobstructed views, exceptional privacy, and star-filled night skies permanently protected from any development. Enjoy both breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, along with peaceful moonrises and moonsets, all from the comfort of your own property. Experience a climate 15-20 degrees cooler than the desert, while still being approximately 20 minutes from El Paseo and the desert floor.Engineered for durability and efficiency, the home features exposed open web steel truss construction, approximately 2-foot-thick insulated walls, deep footings, and a standing seam metal roof, along with burnished limestone plaster walls and clear pine window and door casements that bring warmth and character. Designed for sustainable mountain living, the home incorporates passive solar design-capturing winter sun for natural warmth while staying cool in summer-paired with radiant heated concrete floors and impressive energy efficiency. Thoughtful enhancements include a whole house water softener system, reverse osmosis drinking water system, and a tankless instant hot water system.Outdoor and lifestyle features include paver stone multi-tiered patios and a welcoming front courtyard with a paved patio, creating ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the surrounding beauty. The property also offers a greenhouse for growing your own food, a 5,000-gallon water tank, five water-collecting cisterns, and an HOA-approved fenced area for dogs, providing both sustainability and peace of mind. Step outside to scenic hiking and biking trails just beyond your doorstep, along with a peaceful labyrinth for reflection. Flexible spaces like the garage are ideal for a studio or workshop, making this home a true retreat for nature lovers, thinkers, creators, and those seeking a quieter way of life.This is a rare opportunity to own a home that is not only beautifully designed but intentionally built to last--schedule your private tour and experience the peace, craftsmanship, and lifestyle for yourself.
