The house was built in 2021 on a 2-acre property, and with sustainability and efficiency in mind. The home was awarded a platinum certification by the Coconino County for the Sustainable building program. 2-foot-thick walls on the east/north/west sides are insulated with hay bales to keep the interior nice and cozy. The south facing wall is 8" thick and has two large glass patio doors, which allows for great passive solar heat. All of this promotes a comfortable space despite the cold temps outside. You'll be impressed on how little you will have to stoke the fire during the day! Solar system and auto backup generator provides power for the home.
