Milagro Custom Home at Banbury Cross Employs Energy Efficient Geothermal Heating and Cooling System

May 20, 2008 - PRLog -- Milagro Homes' "La Paloma" at Banbury Cross in western Douglas County is the very picture of magnificence.  But it's not only what you see on the surface that truly sets this custom masterpiece apart from other custom residences on the market today...it's what's inside that counts.  

   The gorgeous 6,100-plus-square-foot, four bedroom, 5-1/2 bath estate home is set on a premium 14-acre homesite boasting unparalleled vistas of the Front Range and the beautiful surrounding terrain showcasing rolling hills and the tree-lined Plum Creek corridor.  From the handsome traditional European-styled exterior with natural stone and reclaimed wood timber accents, to the incredible interior enhanced by comfortable as well as lavish living spaces from the gourmet kitchen to the incredible main floor master suite, Milagro Homes truly delivers a home for the ages.

   Once you get around to seeing all that La Paloma has to offer in terms of rich aesthetics and custom nuances, you'll dig a little deeper to find Milagro Homes has gone the extra mile to ensure the home is as efficient as possible, starting and ending with a state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly, geothermal heating and cooling exchange system.

   According to the Department of Energy, Geothermal heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool a home and provide hot water.  More and more homeowners are discovering the benefits of these systems which tap the relatively constant temperature of the Earth a few feet underground for both new homes and retrofits in existing houses.

   According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), GeoExchange systems are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean space conditioning systems available.  Simply put, the system moves the heat from the earth into the home in the winter and pulls the heat from the house and discharges it into the ground in the summer.

   Experts estimate the average price to heat and cool "La Paloma" at approximately $150 per month, less than one-third the approximate average monthly energy cost of a like-size home using a conventional heating and cooling system.

   In addition to the GeoExchange system, "La Paloma" features the latest technologies available in the building industry as well as extensive use of natural products.  "La Paloma" is situated on a 14.03 acreage home site and is being offered exclusively by Fuller Towne & Country Properties for $1,995,000.
