Essential Rational Alternatives Living - Tucked into the landscape in a verdant setting adjoining open space in the heart of the Eldorado community, and moments from access to the Santa Fe Rail-Trail bike/hiking path that stretches 17 miles from Lamy Village to the Santa Fes Rail Yard Distirct, this remarkable 2BR, 1BA, 1924 sq/ft passive solar home features a Great Room where living/dining and kitchen merge and an outstanding studio/home office with a private entrance. Rational Alternatives homes are the high mark in passive solar design and construction, and this residence reflects th...at high standard. Graced with brick and wood floors, vigas and wood ceilings, exposed adobe walls, a kiva fireplace, nichos and all the other architectural elements that are a part of our indigenous pueblo revival design style, the interior is finished in a warm and richly textured interior stucco. Two portals grace the home. Footsteps away, mountains come into view, balancing the privacy of the home and the stunning terrain it rests in. Built in 1980, Rational Alternatives shared the vision of Eldorado as a solar-based community and developed a style of functional architecture building on these principles. The attention to detail, the handsome pine closet systems and the attached green house all come together to create a wonderful living environment. The siting of the house on the property offers logical choices to expand the house and if desired, ample room to add an additional bath. Show more
