What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
This home is very energy efficient with straw-bale insulation, solar hot water assisted water heater, septic and Lago del Oro water company has limited customers and well over 100yr assured water supply from clean and local wells.Property Description
This straw-bale home was built in 1996. The lot was once used for Ford Truck commercials because the backdrop of the mountains is that spectacular. It is the same view from the award winning spa at Miraval Resort which is only a mile down the street. Large open floor plan with master bedroom, full bath, second bedroom with full bath utility room and large great room next to the kitchen. accented in rustic wood finish throughout the home, and adobe finished inner walls. Two car garage, and a pool and patio that provides views seldom seen on postcards. It's why we bought the home. The hot water heater is solar assisted, and in the summer you won't run electricity to the hot water heater at all.
