1279C Meadowlark Road
Spacious, light and tranquil, this 3,012 square foot home features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a stunning great room and open loft plus studio, greenhouse and an attached oversized 2-car garage. Spanish Creek crosses part of the 8-acre Grants property (formerly Lots 1279, 1280, 1281 and 1282), which features abundant native trees. Mountain views present a vivid picture from the redwood deck and, inside the home, the views are beautifully framed by oversized great room windows. The home’s interior is highlighted in aspen, from the vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and loft paneling to the built-in computer station and custom bath and kitchen cabinets. Fully equipped, the kitchen also boasts decorative tile countertops. Tiled floors and well-placed windows add to the openness of the first floor, where wood stoves in the great room and bedroom supplement forced-air propane heat and passive solar gain. A full bath and laundry room with deep sink and storage shelves complete the first-floor facilities. Upstairs is a large carpeted loft with latilla baluster and “cat walk” shelf plus a private bedroom with sitting area and full bath. The 810 square foot insulated garage is between the greenhouse and studio, both of which have private outside entrances. The greenhouse has a deep sink, heated beds and grow lights. The studio, with its plentiful windows and natural lighting, includes a Storburn toilet, kitchen sink with base cabinets and tiled floor. It is heated by a propane wall unit plus wood stove.

The Home



With 8 acres of land on Spanish Creek and panoramic views of the San Luis Valley, this 3,012 square foot home is all about open space and tranquility, both inside and out. It’s also about energy efficiency, with its metal roof, thermal-pane windows with low-e glass, insulation for R40-42 and passive solar gain. The site includes a private well and septic system. Top

The First Floor



The first-floor great room makes exquisite use of eastern and southern windows to beautifully frame the views while optimizing passive solar gain. Tiled floors, countertops and window sills plus aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings, trim and cabinetry are featured throughout. The corner wood stove can also double as a cook stove.



The kitchen comes fully equipped with refrigerator, propane stove, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Its custom aspen cabinetry includes full-sized base cabinet pull-outs and bottle-glass detail on upper cabinets. The dining area includes a ceiling fan and built-in aspen computer station in the northeast corner. Nearby french doors lead to the 1,100 square foot redwood deck, which runs along the eastern and northern sides of the home.



Rounding out the first-floor amenities are a bedroom with wood stove, a full bath and a large laundry room with deep sink and storage shelves. Spacious enough to also house the propane furnace and propane hot water heater, the laundry room provides interior access to the 2-car garage. Each room has tiled floors, and the bath features a custom aspen vanity with tiled countertop and a custom aspen linen closet. In the hallway are a cabinet with built-in ironing board and an under-the-stairs coat closet with deep storage space. Top

The Loft

Above the great room, up a double-landing staircase, is a carpeted loft with a “cat walk,” perfect for use as a plant shelf. Both the staircase and loft feature hand-peeled latilla balusters, corner posts and railings.



Aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings and walls are highlighted in the open area of the bright and welcoming loft. Ideal as a work space, family room or dramatic master bedroom, the open loft area is adjacent to the second bedroom. Privately partitioned, the bedroom is roomy enough for a sitting area and includes two closets plus a full bath with custom aspen cabinetry and tiled countertop.

The Greenhouse, Studio and Garage



The attached greenhouse is to the southwest of the main house, and near its entrance is a magnificent mosaic mural, created by a local artisan. The greenhouse has its own hot water heater, grow lights, two skylights, a deep sink and interior adobe brick wall. Piped hot water heats the beds.



The attached 504 square foot studio makes beautiful use of natural lighting with its 12 windows plus eastern and western private entrance doors. It is heated by a propane wall unit and/or wood stove and includes a Storburn toilet, kitchen sink with base cabinet and tiled floors. Designed as an artisan's work space, it sits to the north of the 2-car garage, which creates privacy from the main house and greenhouse areas. The 810 square foot oversized garage has attic storage space plus 11-foot ceilings and 9-foot-high doors to accommodate large vehicles. Top

The Views



Whether derived from the rugged mountains or the birds-eye view of the Sand Dunes, tranquility surrounds and permeates this home and its 8 acres of land.
