This Eco-Masterpiece is on 45 acres of native forest and wildlife habitat situated within Angel Fire Resort. An emerging destination, this family ski resort has 86 ski trails and mountain biking mid-May to mid-October. The Resort has an 18-hole PGA Golf Course, tennis and pickleball courts, and a country club with pool, fitness center and fine dining. Angel Fire Airport, a 10-minute drive to its jet-capable runway, serves private aircraft as well as Advance Air's 5 roundtrips a week from Albuquerque. Privacy and seclusion are secured on all sides with the north boundary being the 130,000-acre historic CS Ranch. A seasonal creek runs through a private 6-acre meadow. This legacy home is built to last with many green and sustainable features. It will continue to provide privacy, security, energy, food and enjoyment as a nurturing retreat for years to come. Beautiful - Indoors and Out, Practical, Resilient. This modern home is designed with the vision to survive the challenges of the future. With panoramic, forever views of the Wheeler range, this mighty three-story 8,074 sq ft Eco-block home, with 12 and 24-inch thick walls, is built to endure the elements and last for generations. There are 6,784 sq. ft of heated, move-in ready dramatic living space with two interior greenhouses created by carefully selected local craftsmen. The first floor features an authentic adobe Casita with its own full kitchen, custom cabinetry, furniture and a private entrance. The Casita has been in a successful short-term rental program, with numerous five-star reviews. Adjacent to the Casita on the first floor are 575 sq ft of utility and mechanical rooms, extensive working storage, and a 715 sq ft space designed as a separate apartment with its own entrance ready for you to complete to your liking. The overall floor plan is in the Photo Gallery of this listing. Outdoors there are 2,500 sq ft of tiered, organic gardens in the walled area south of the patio. In addition, two food and flower-producing greenhouses are inside - one in the Atrium hot tub room, and a larger one off the main kitchen for easy access to fresh food year-round. The spacious light-filled kitchen has been fully upgraded with high quality appliances, special granite countertops, a large working island and walk-in pantry. The modern passive solar architecture sets this solar sanctuary apart. This intelligent home has many solar and high-tech features - solar electricity and whole-house radiant floor heating, as well as passive solar features enabled by the homes’ perfect solar alignment. The whole home is a green design, built from the ground up with many sustainable, non-toxic features (see list in the Photo Gallery) that provide energy efficiency, comfort, strength, and durability. Modern solar panel tracking racks with updated batteries cut utility bills. Solar Thermal panels quietly supply the primary heat day and night. The local utility, Kit Carson Electric Coop, operates a major 6MW solar farm microgrid with 6MW/hr battery backup, providing double-back up to the home’s solar system, focused on the resilience of the home office. There is ultra high-speed fiber-optic internet/Wi-Fi throughout, enabling full-time working from home. You must see this special property to truly appreciate the craftsmanship in every room - from the vaulted ceilings, beautiful local beams and vigas, to the stunning floor-to-ceiling rock wall fireplace in the living room, leading out to the pristine forest that wraps around the home. Private, secure parking for 5 cars: 2 in garage (EV-charging ready) and 3 in parking area. Taos is 24 miles away, offering eclectic shopping, art galleries, restaurants, museums, world-class Taos Ski Valley, and a modern hospital. Historic Santa Fe is just a 2-hour drive.
