Tucked in among towering ponderosa pines and close to Greenhorn Mountain, sets a peaceful and secluded home in Rye, Colorado. Lovingly designed down to every feature, this 2,335 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is completely custom. Energy efficiency was a primary motivator in the finished product and can be seen and felt in several details. The home is of a clean, modern design with well-planned use of natural beetle kill pine, tongue and groove and exposed beams, adobe floors, expansive windows (several on the South elevation for passive solar light and warmth benefits), slate tile and fun extras such as the custom master bedroom closet with enough drawers to eliminate the need for dressers, a deep soaking tub and curb-less walk-in shower in the master bathroom, a custom reading nook/bunk in an upstairs bedroom, and a cozy window seat in the living room. This home was built with efficiency in mind via: upgraded Marvin windows and doors, Hardie board cement siding, blown-in denim insulation, low-flow plumbing fixtures, a UV filter on the water system, a Danish Rais wood-burning stove that can be cooked on/in (should there be a power outage), and a new natural gas powered Rinnai tankless water heater that serves as the boiler for the radiant floor heat and instant hot water. The home has undergone recent maintenance such as interior and exterior paint, upgraded decking and the incredible adobe floors were recently refinished and oiled/sealed. In addition, there are two walk-out decks to take in the completely private 3 acre site. The sense of quiet is amazing and is often limited to the breeze through the pines and the crickets in the garden. There is a great mix of mature, tall and twisted ponderosa and spruce pines trees and open grassy areas, garden beds and scrub oak. This home is close to the towns of Rye and Colorado City.
