Built with resource conservation and comfort in mind, this home is a natural retreat in the foothills outside Boulder.  A wall of south-facing glass invites in warmth from the sun along with stunning views.  Abundant plant and wildlife can be observed from every room in the house in addition to a spacious backyard deck.  The home’s temperature is ideal year-round, yet you aren’t wasting precious resources on heating and cooling.  You’ve enlisted the help of the sun and it couldn’t feel better.  An indoor planter diverts water from your bathroom sink to grow scented jasmine, banana trees and bird of paradise in your living room.  At night, fall asleep easily to the sound of a stream gurgling past the bedroom window.

Just a hop to the Ethel Harrold picnic area and Walker Ranch Open Space trailhead, with endless opportunities for hiking, running, mountain biking and horseback riding.  Non-motorized boating is just up the road at Gross Reservoir and hiking trails and wildlife corridors extend through City of Boulder Mountain Parks and Eldorado Canyon State Park.  The land on and directly around the property is important habitat for several exciting mammal and bird species, including an elk migration path.

This is the dream home you never want to leave.
