Located over 1/2 mile from the highway at the end of a rustic country lane in a seclude hidden valley just fifteen minutes from downtown Ruidoso yet close to National Forest, this home is spacious and full of natural light. It is designed to be environmentally friendly, and to conserve energy. All utilities are underground. This 3,100 sq. ft. Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, sun room, and 2 decks all on the main level, with walk out den, half bath and storage below. A recessed area in the parking lot is well suited for an RV.
Extensive use of use of wood and stone reflects the quality of this home, such as marble in the master bath, granite counters, wood paneling, doors of solid wood, and natural flagstone flooring. Antiques are tastefully incorporated into the home's design; A 1920's English stain glass paneled door; A new England fireplace surround and two late 19th century doors.
The home incorporates passive solar heating by warn air taken from the sun room by vents and circulated around the living & dining area.
The spacious south facing sun room has many large windows and is used as a heat sink for the Passive Solar Heating system. It contains the hot tub and is currently used as an artist's studio. There are two motorized fans in the sun room. One is used during the winter to take warm air from the sun room to the Living/Dining area, the other circulation fan is in the ceiling of the sun room and vents hot air to the outdoors for pleasant summer temperatures. The fireplace insert is an very efficient and environmentally friendly unit which heats the main living area and re-burns flue gases prior to their discharge.
The basement walls are extremely strong, being of reinforced concrete, poured into foam casings, reinforced with steel rods. The foam acts as additional insulation resulting in heating costs savings. The floor joists are on 12" centers rather than the standard 14", giving greater strength.
There is a good deal of storage located in the basement and under the main deck. The primary storage area is about 400 sq. ft. and has been used a a work shop. It contains the water softener and generous shelving. The secondary storage, under the sun room has additional shelving, the hot tub's substructure and gas-fired heater. There is an emergency natural gas powered electrical generator to provide electricity to vital services such as water pump, refrigerator, freezer, partial lights and partial outlets. The forced air furnace and hot water heater are powered by natural gas. The home has its own private well and septic system.
Electricity averages about $52.75 and gas to $53.24 per month from July 2003 through June 2004.
An additional 5.4 acres is available for $115,000 to make a total of 11.8 acres, which has been thinned under National Forest Service supervision, to decrease fire risk.
