Passive solar provides most of the heat in the winter and window overhangs protect the house from excessive heat in the summer. Water is solar heated on the roof. This is an eco friendly home.

You will find this home to be a welcoming, relaxing and comfortable retreat after a day of skiing, boarding, hiking, shopping, gallery hopping, sight seeing, or enjoying any other activity that this remarkable area has to offer. 

We invite you to come and enjoy the New Mexico sun in our mountain retreat.
