There's something about this home you feel before you even step inside.
Set on a peaceful half acre with sweeping views of Mt. Blue Sky, this thoughtfully designed strawbale home blends Southwest style with exceptional insulation, energy efficiency, and natural fire resistance. Designed and built by the original owner, it lives in harmony with its surroundings, offering a quiet, grounded feel.
With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,896 square feet, the layout feels spacious yet intentional. Sunlight pours through Pella windows, while radiant in-floor heat on both levels keeps things cozy.
The kitchen features handcrafted pine cabinets, Saltillo tile, and concrete floors, with Southwest touches carried throughout in handmade alder doors, including 8-foot pocket doors between the living and dining spaces. The mudroom showcases etched Kokopelli glass.
In the main living room, a "truth window" reveals the strawbale construction beneath the plaster, a glimpse into how the home was built and why it feels so quiet and efficient.
The living space flows out to a balcony with hand-carved rope posts and custom railing, framing those Mt. Blue Sky views.
Downstairs, a large bonus space with fireplace and wet bar plus a flex room ideal for an office or studio round things out, along with an enclosed courtyard and custom gate for a private outdoor retreat. Step onto the back deck for more Mt. Blue Sky views.
With approximately R-38 insulation in the sidewalls and attic, plus fire mitigation built in from day one, this home is efficient and thoughtfully made. Additional features include a whole-house ventilator, natural gas, and city sewer.
Major updates: new roof (2023), acrylic stucco exterior (2023), new boiler and expansion tank (2025).
