This model home in the Saginaw Sunset subdivision is the first of what will be a 20-home development of high-performance custom homes. Each home will meet at least Earth Advantage Platinum standards and include features such as staggered stud framing, super-efficient HVAC systems, Energy Star appliances, extra insulation, solar power production, and water conservation.

This home’s power is supplemented by a grid-tied solar system that is also backed up with batteries – meaning that the home will still have electricity when the power goes out.

The finishes in this home include beautiful local EcoCrush countertops throughout, renewable cork flooring, and long-lasting Italian tiles. The white oak cabinets were milled in the house.

Set amid native Ponderosa pines, this home sits on an extremely steep lot with limited access for construction, showcasing the developers’ commitment to filling in vacant urban property and is landscaped with deer and drought in mind. The vision for these properties is that homeowners will be able to age in place which is why this split-level home features an elevator.
