    Location: York Gulch, Clear Creek County, Colo. (9200 feet) / South-facing (good solar). Community encompasses 50 sq mi, contains about 100 homes, nearly all full-time residents and off-grid. West end of Denver is 40 minutes away, downtown (except during worst traffic) is an hour distant. Nearly all shopping can be done locally. Nearest town (Idaho Springs) is where Colorado gold rush began in 1859; other historic towns (including old territorial capital) are nearby.

    Construction Type: Walls 85% Cempo ® insulated concrete form (ICF), 15% frame / Exterior: stucco / Roof: metal.

    Other Structural Data: Low-e windows; cathedral ceilings in great room and kitchen; tile floors w/ radiant heat; CATV wiring; full basement and 2nd-floor loft; code-compliant for 5 bedrooms; attractive & fire resistant ipe deck; heated oversized 2-car garage, plus additional storage or workshop area. House is powered by 16 110W panels, an Outback charge controller, and Trace inverter. Backup Onan generator.

    Land: 3.85 acres surrounded by Nat. Forest; well terraced. Personal trails on, and Forest Service trails near, the property.

    Access: From I-70, 1 mile state highway, 1.5 miles country maintained dirt, 1.5 miles community maintained dirt. 2WD 3/4 of the year.

    Flora: Pine, fir, spruce, aspen, mountain maple / variety of wildflowers all summer / large meadow 1/8 mile away.

    Fauna: Deer, elk, bear, chipmunk, squirrel, red tail hawks, more than a dozen varieties of smaller birds, and (when the weasel is away) rabbits.

    Subjective Description: House is wrapped around a small knoll, so there are variety of birds and small animals within feet of front door on E & N; it overlooks Clear Creek Canyon (huge) & Continental Divide, so there are tremendous vistas to the S & W.

    House is off-grid (no outages common w/ rural power); rooms are large, airy, and open. Two rooms are designated bedrooms (master BR is separate and has private bath) - but both code and septic/leach allow for five bedrooms. Loft is a natural bedroom, and other rooms could be easily converted. House contains large professional office and huge rec room (both with CATV wiring).

    York Gulch is (a) open, (b) south-facing, (c) in the lee of the Colorado ski slopes, and (d) has absorbent soil, so both weather and road conditions are excellent for Colorado at 9,200 feet. The west end of Denver is 40 minutes to the East; downtown (except in rush hour) is an hour distant. And nearly all shopping can be done without going into the city.
