Phantom Canyon Timber Frame

Surrounded by one of Colorado’s Nature Conservancy Preserves, this custom timber frame home fits right in among the Rocky Mountain flora, the Rocky Mountain fauna, and the blue Rocky Mountain sky. With interior timber framing and exterior SIP’s, this rustic and resourceful home will provide all the benefits of true mountain living with all the benefits of true energy-efficiency. Featuring a bounty of green goodness, this home includes: solar thermal evacuated tubes, PV Panels (with battery back-up), on-site wind turbine, radiant floor heat, and Alpen glass. Zero-VOC paints and finishes will be used throughout the home, and beetle-kill pine will dress the entire loft area. Stay tuned for more detail – we hear the Old World stone fireplace will make quite the centerpiece.
