Tranquil Canyon Ranch was designed as a monumental luxury escape retreat. Not only a sprawling house in the woods, this unique dwelling is a stone and glass sanctuary of unmatched harmony. Its massive, fire-resistant rammed earth walls tower above the forest floor with a striking textural ambiance. The safety and privacy that the massive stonework embodies is reminiscent of ancient castles, though it unfolds as a modern technological haven if seen in comparison to a traditional mountain home. Tranquil Canyon Ranch is a residence for relaxed maintenance-free living providing expansive outdoor living areas, and located just minutes from Fort Collins. The home operates on a geothermal heat pump system that runs the radiant heat through the homes' polished concrete floors and exterior heated tub. The photovoltaic solar grid handles all of the homes' electrical needs, complete with a dual solar battery storage system. As a NetZero home, the dwelling runs without energy bills, creating more energy than it uses, and can be 100% functional even if the local power grid goes down. Tranquil Canyon Ranch is an ode to the brutalist movement of artisan modernism. This sustainable "King Of The Forest" is undoubtedly the most contemporary, technologically advanced, and architecturally sophisticated home in the region. Offering a tasteful blend of exposed, unaltered raw concrete and earth, to the elegantly polished kitchen and flooring, this home explores the merger of extravagance with simplicity.
