Truly exquisite, the High Country Hacienda offers spectacular views of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), surrounding sub-alpine ecosystems, and Old West historic cattle ranching and hay farming country.

• Designed by Langley & Associates Architects, LLC, Woodland Park, Colorado, this one-owner, custom two-story, synthetic stucco Hacienda features an interior post-and-beam, core-frame support system using regional 12-14” round ponderosa pine logs. The upper great room opens onto a large 320 square-foot Brazilian Ipê hardwood deck with a gas firepit, inviting guests to marvel under the vivid celestial canopy.

• The walkout garden-level basement includes a protected 370 square foot flagstone patio and xeriscape grass yard. The patio features a year-round 220V hydro-spa/hot tub with convenient master bedroom access.
• The home and detached garage utilize newer, 80-mil, PVC-membrane commercial roofing by IB Roof Systems. Highly energy efficient! An early adopter of “passive home,” energy-savings, and comfort design. The home has mass-insulated 10” thick walls and 18” ceilings, plus thermo-pane windows and patio doors to keep you warm and cozy. The lower-level foundation of this fortress-like residential structure rests on solid granite bedrock. There’s been no material shifting since the home was originally built.
• Sustainable design works to provide year-round climate comfort. Three integrated heating sources include i)™ boiler with clean hot-water baseboard registers controlled by Nest wi-fi thermostats and smartphone technology, ii) passive solar energy (210°SW exposure) with absorbent heat shades adding extra warmth during winter months, iii) an enchanting Kiva-style, high-efficiency wood stove with full-view glass doors. The home also uses an upper-to-lower (plenum) air circulation system to assist with both active and passive heating. Abundant firewood is available in the shed off the back deck and locally. The home does not need air-conditioning due to its wonderful cross-window ventilation and Colorado’s pleasant, cool summer climate.
• Self-Sufficiency! An auxiliary, propane-driven Briggs & Stratton 18HP Twin-V power generator (10,500 watts) is ready for emergency whole-house electrical backup. To engage, just switch the propane valve and turn the key. This home could potentially be semi “off the grid,” assuming a supply of propane with potential solar/wind-engineered alternatives. The regional electric cooperative, Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association, offers net metering.
• The High Country Hacienda is ideal for Remote Work-from-Home employment opportunities. Fast 100Mbps DSL bonded-pair Internet service is currently available from from CenturyLink’s fiber-optic communications trunk, located just 300 yards from the home. When fiber-optic services become available, the Hacienda will likely be one of the first to be offered service.
• The Hacienda has a flagstone front staircase leading up to hand-crafted entry doors that are 6’ wide by 8’ tall. There is also an attached 624-square-foot, split-level garage with a generous concrete apron pad.

• Upper-segmented great room design, entryway, library/office, 3⁄4 bath; Lower – 3 bedrooms, den/recreation/exercise room, full bath, master 3⁄4 bath, utility/laundry. Southwestern tiles and accents in the kitchen, bathrooms, and showers.
• Large, south-facing glass windows and doors on both levels for lots of natural light, with warm, romantic southwestern curved interior walls and a 14’ living room with a latilla ceiling.
• 320 square-foot Ipê (tropical hardwood) deck with custom-powder-coated wrought iron railing off the main living area. Perfect for BBQ and entertaining.
• Lighting fixtures throughout the home and garage office/loft were hand-crafted by a pottery artist in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
• Mesquite patina finish on custom-built imported doors with Spanish old-world hardware.
• Low-maintenance synthetic stucco, commercial Senergy™, and STO SilcoLastic™ exterior coatings.
