This beautiful, Passive House in Solar Ranch, built by renowned local builder, Brad Wallis, is offered for the first time since its construction in 2019. Set on a .396-acre lot, this home with a southwestern flare will delight you around every corner with its unique design and functionality, easy maintenance, and energy efficiency. The main living area on the ground floor features stained concrete floors and American Antique Lumber accents throughout the house, a welcoming foyer leading to both the laundry and mud rooms on one side and on the other, to the a great room combining living and dining space off the well-appointed kitchen with leather granite countertops. A built-in office space and the primary bedroom suite is also located on the ground floor offering a walk-in closet and impressive bathroom with a large, tiled shower, double sinks, and a separate 2-person infrared sauna with built-in phototherapy. Upstairs you will find hardwood flooring and a large landing separating the 2 additional bedrooms and a beautifully tiled full bathroom with Saltillo tile flooring. The west bedroom has an oversized closet perfect for extra storage. The east bedroom with built-in closet is open to the landing to give more space and flexible use as a craft room, library, office, or, of course, a bedroom. This bedroom has access to a front balcony facing east from which you may enjoy the early morning sunrises and spectacular views of both the Sneffels and Cimarron mountains. Typical of Passive Houses, this one is super-insulated with tight, double wall construction, Colorado-made Alpen windows that provide exceptional insulation in the winter and reflective cooling in the summer, and Therma Tru exterior doors that are airtight and highly efficient. Adding to your comfort is the full-house heat recovery ventilation system that provides fresh air circulation throughout the house. 12 solar panels will substantially reduce your electricity bills. Enjoy outdoor living in the beautifully landscaped backyard that is completely fenced with a metal privacy fence and includes a delightful side patio under a pergola, another large covered back patio, a boulder rock wall encasing the upper garden area, and several raised beds for growing your own vegetables. The landscaping is supported by a drip and sprinkler system fed by water from 2 irrigation ditches, one on each side of the lot, which will substantially reduce your watering costs. A gate in the back gives you access to the subdivision's expansive open space. The front yard is equally beautifully landscaped with flower beds and mature Aspen trees which you can enjoy from the covered front patio. The detached double car garage connects to the house with a covered breezeway and includes an adjoining workshop on one side and a carport for parking an RV, boat, or trailer with 30-amp RV service and water hookup on the other side. The garage is wired for a 220V, 50amp EV charger.

Ridgway is the gateway to the San Juan Mountains and all the incredible outdoor recreational opportunities it and the surrounding communities offer. The commercial center of Montrose and its airport is only a 30-minute drive. Small town mountain living doesn't get better than this. Call today to schedule a showing.
