Private, Elegant Sanctuary!

This elegant and gracious home built in 2003 features a refined blend of Asian-style influences with natural Southwestern “Santa Fe style” designs. Nestled in a private cul de sac on 8 consolidated lots totaling approx. 4.153 acres and backing to lush greenbelt, this approx 1932 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 2 bath, strawbale home is conscientiously constructed with non-toxic materials throughout. Custom features include natural earthen floors, high ceilings, ceramic tile floor in the kitchen, Douglas fir floors upstairs, wood ceilings including Willow lattias in the entry foyer, Talavera tile accents in the kitchen and downstairs bath, niches throughout, attractive wrought iron light fixtures. Earthen plaster walls with subtle and unique natural pigment accents create aesthetic harmony.

The entry foyer features a custom rock fountain and elegant staircase with Asian-inspired motifs using bamboo, iron Tibetan good-luck symbols, and century-old Douglas fir posts and railing, plus sliding shoji screen “windows” in the upstairs hallway. The living room boasts a kiva fireplace, double doors, recessed lighting, bookcases and high ceilings. The kitchen features top of the line and energy efficient appliances, a Maple butcher block countertop, fir cabinets, and an adjacent sunroom opening to a flagstone patio. Upstairs, the master suite boasts a large walk-in closet, meditation/sitting room, French doors leading to a balcony with views of Mt. Blanca, and a full bath with separate tub and shower tiled in Spanish marble.
