Project Overview
The home features innovative green technologies, including solar panels, ERV air purifiers, a car charging station, 8" thick SIPs walls with R35+ performance and energy-efficient insulation, ensuring reduced utility costs. Embrace sustainable living without compromising on luxury or comfort. Unwind in
the spacious master suite, a sanctuary designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. The ensuite bathroom features a double vanity, a luxurious walk-in shower, and a soaking tub where you can indulge in moments of tranquility. The walk-in closet offers ample space to organize your wardrobe. With
additional bedrooms and versatile spaces, there's room for everyone and every purpose. Create a home office, a guest suite, or a hobby room to suit your lifestyle needs. Step outside onto the generous patio, where you can bask in the surrounding breathtaking view. Immerse yourself in the natural

Placitas offers a thriving community with a rich artistic and cultural scene, as well as access to hiking trails and outdoor recreational activities. Located just a short drive from Albuquerque and Santa Fe, you can easily enjoy the
best of both worlds - the tranquility of rural living and the conveniences of city life.
Why SIPs: I utilized Sips for all of my construction Projects. As a performance home builder I have not found a better way to build a highly insulated, air tight home. I really enjoy the process of building with sips panels, the efficiency, the lack of framing waste and thermal bridging. With energy efficiency,
sustainability, and cost effectiveness in mind on all of my homes, SIPS is never a question for me.
