This passive solar home spans 3, 868 square feet, offering three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a private well, and a three-bedroom septic system. Its south-facing orientation masterfully captures sunlight and panoramic vistas, while twelve-inch-thick concrete walls (R-17) provide superior insulation and natural climate control. Casa Solara operates fully off the grid with a robust system: a 3.6-kilowatt photovoltaic array (featuring 30-120 Watt modules plus 10-320 Watt modules), an Outback Inverter power system, and 48 large industrial batteries. A six-panel solar thermal array provides domestic hot water and supports the radiant floor heating system, backed by a Kohler propane generator for ultimate reliability.

An estimate detailing the cost for this connection is readily available in the attachments, providing clarity for future planning. The main level boasts an open-concept kitchen, living room, and study, distinguished by graceful curved walls, radiant floor heat, and a cozy propane stove. Expansive windows frame the surrounding mountains, filling the space with natural light. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a large bath and open onto a private mountain-view balcony, complemented by a bright yoga or sunroom studio offering panoramic views. The walk-out lower level includes an additional bedroom, bath, a versatile bonus room, media room, and the utility/battery room housing the advanced off-grid systems. 96 Old Cove: The New On-Grid Guest House Complementing the main home is a newly constructed, on-grid Energy Star guest house at 96 Old Cove. This contemporary 600-square-foot residence features one bedroom and one bathroom, with an open kitchen and living area that seamlessly flows to a large private deck, perfect for enjoying spectacular mountain views.
