Green dream home complete
Mountain Living magazine has completed its first Natural Dream Home at Bear Dance in Larkspur.
The 9,295-square-foot home, a joint venture with Pieper & Associates, KPA Construction and Cultured Log Systems, was built to surpass Built Green Colorado standards.
The home is expected to have an average energy bill of $300 a month, one-fifth the expected cost of a conventionally built home of the same size.
It will be open Sept. 29-Oct. 14. For information visit .
