Imagine a stunning LoDo loft meeting a modern mountain cabin on almost 9 south-facing acres and you've found this amazing home! A perfect mix of modern industrial and custom rustic accents creates a unique aesthetic not found anywhere else. Designed by Barrett Studio Architects in Boulder, Colorado, this was built with ultimate sustainability and green energy in mind. Active solar is provided by a 5.2 Kw solar PV system and is enhanced by passive solar in the concrete floors and a heavily glazed south-facing wall. The PV system produces a surplus of roughly 2000 Kwh per year. The only annual input for heating from the owners is about 60 bags of wood pellets. A heat distribution system evenly heats both bedrooms from the pellet stove. The hot water heater is a hybrid that mainly utilizes the heat pump and does not draw heavily on electric power. Inside the great room you'll find a tongue and groove beetle kill pine vaulted ceiling and a view no matter where you look. The enormous granite kitchen island with breakfast bar and induction cooktop is ideal for talking with guests while putting the finishing touches on dinner or just enjoying a glass of wine while preparing an intimate supper. Every cook's dream, this kitchen has tons of prep area, tons of storage, and tons of beauty. Custom live-edge open shelving is perfect for displaying artwork, a pottery collection, or your cache of stock pots and Dutch ovens. The gorgeous, unique exterior of the home is another indicator of sustainability. Combining corten steel, stucco and pine siding, it is done in the Shou Sugi Ban method, a natural Japanese fire and insect repelling finish. Roofing is 20GA corten A606-4 steel designed to withstand Colorado weather for decades. The barn has equipment and hay storage, shelter for 3 horses and a fenced corral, round pen and pasture. The detached garage boasts ample cabinets and storage plus 220sf finished/heated office or bonus space. This property has to be seen to be appreciated!
