Beautiful contemporary mountain home designed and built to work with and respect the environment. This archtect-designed home was created for an artist/department head at ASU with the intention of creating an open, flexible and positive place for creativity, meditation, and enjoyment. A two story atrium with huge skylights greets you upon entry and floods the home with light. The southern exposure allows for passive solar heating and natural light through the day. Rooms are open and inviting. Kitchen has granite countertops and is open to living room. A perfect mountain retreat! Low maintenance grounds with ability to create as much view as you want. Propane fueled tankless water heaters provide not only water on demand, but also radiant floor heat. Pergo floors instead of hard wood to allow more effective heat conduction. A Vermont Castings woodstove provides heat and efficiency. The home was created using the principles of Vastu Shastra (Indian Feng Shui). Architect and owner comments available. NOTE: Location is not so remote. Travel time to Boone is 20-25 minutes. MLS# 168519.
