Tucked into the wooded beauty of The Timbers at Edgemont Highlands, just east of Durango, this thoughtfully designed residence strikes a perfect balance between comfort, privacy, and high-performance living. Designed by Brian Huff of Huff Architecture, the home prioritizes both family functionality and peaceful retreat.

The main level features a private primary suite, a cozy library, and expansive living areas, while the second level includes three guest bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath—ideal for family life and hosting guests alike. Every detail was approached with care, combining skillful design, high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and professional tradesmanship to create a home that not only looks beautiful but performs seamlessly.

Engineered to be 92% more energy efficient than a standard home built to code, this residence features:

• Double-wall construction
• High R-value insulation
• Kobe triple-pane windows
  Together, these elements ensure year-round comfort through Colorado’s dynamic climate.

The home's mechanical systems were intentionally designed for energy efficiency and long-term performance, including a Zehnder whole-house ventilation system for healthy indoor air and an 8.36kW solar array to minimize utility costs. True to MHB’s mission, this home exemplifies durability for generations and sustainable living at its finest.

TESTIMONIAL

“After buying land in Edgemont Highlands, we had a chance meeting with a nearby resident who enthusiastically referred us to Mantell-Hecathorn, citing the company's attention to detail and environmental building practices. We called Hunter, who promptly fit us into his schedule and put us in touch with a terrific architect. We have never looked back. Working closely as a team, we designed the house over the course of a year before breaking ground.  Hunter was completely on top of the project from the very beginning and we always felt in good hands.  As we resided out of town during much of the project, Hunter kept us up to date on all facets of the project and even sent us weekly photos and videos.  During our visits to Durango, he made sure to present us with updated schedules, lists of upcoming decisions, and answers to all of our questions. Most of all, he created an environment that fostered dialogue and teamwork. If we suggested changes to aspects of the house, he was always accommodating and laid out considerations of cost and practicality. After we moved in, the Mantell-Hecathorn team continued to make sure that everything was in good order.  We never thought we would build a house, but now that we have, we would never consider building one without Mantell-Hecathorn.”
