Arizona Horse Property Promotes Traditional American Life

This secluded log home has views in all directions. The house sits high on a beautiful 20-acre parcel bordering 640 acres of State Land. From the main living room you can not only see the entrance to the shop, but also you can see the horse barn and the horse stalls.

It is a Kuhns Bros. Log Home and is laid out as a spacious 2+ BR, 2-bath home with loft.

Log Home Built from Renewable Resource Forests

(For more information about the Kuhns log home product, visit www.kuhnsbros.com. The logs, beams and purlins are harvested from carefully maintained renewable forests and are kiln-dried to an average moisture content of less than 19 percent. Because of this, shrinking/twisting of logs is minimized. Their package included a lot of quality lumber products, including tongue & grove pine boards for the interior walls, interior doors, trim, etc.)

The home is constructed of dovetail 12-inch logs and has approximately 3700 feet of living space. The overall theme is Early American Colonial. On the main level, the floors are 12-inch pine planks, the interior walls are tongue-and-groove pine and there are large ceiling beams throughout.

Great Room & Loft Stairs

It has an open-design living room (Great Room), kitchen, dining area, walk-in pantry, and loft. The kitchen has a large island with a six-burner counter-top stove, wall oven, over-size counters, deep double sink with disposal, and plenty of storage space. This area is perfect for family-oriented living and entertaining.

There is a loft that is open to the downstairs. This area serves as an extra bedroom and has a great view of the property and Black Mesa in the distance.

The bedroom wing has a dressing room, large full-bath with a walk-in multi-jet shower, and a 16' by 24' bedroom with bookshelves, pine plank floors and beam and pine ceiling. Heating throughout the house is by in-floor radiant heat.

The lower level is a daylight, ground entrance basement. It opens out onto a patio, trees and the sunset. It has two large windows and a sliding glass door and a parking area for easy access to a vehicle. In this area, there is a bedroom, a full bath, a large hobby room, a utility room, a main closet and craft area, and a home theater with a wet bar.

Walk-Out Basement & Patio

The thermal mass in the basement is achieved by a poured concrete 4" floor slab and 8" thick foam-formed walls.

Energy Efficient Design

The house is oriented on an east / west line. The wing has an eight-foot wide porch running the 33' length of the wing. The main house has a large roof overhang that shades the front windows in the summer, but allows the sun to flood the living room in the winter.

South Windows, Overhang, Front Porch & East Side of House

The thermal mass of the house keeps it cool in the summer and provides for even warmth in the winter. On especially hot days the air-conditioning can be used for the few hours of peak afternoon temperatures. This is seldom needed, but is nice to have on the occasional extra-warm days.

The heating system consists of in-floor radiant heat. There are four separate heating zones: Two up stairs and two down. Each zone has its own thermostat and each zone can operate anytime the temperature drops to the set point of it’s thermostat.

Runs of 3/4" Pex tubing are imbedded in the basement slab for hydronic radiant floor heating. Additional runs of Pex are under the main level sub-floor.

Hot water heat for the in-floor radiant heat is provided by a commercial, on-demand Rinnai 180,000 BTU heater. This also provides the domestic hot water.

The vaulted ceiling in the Living Room/Dining/Kitchen Area is insulated to an R-42 rating, thanks to rigid insulation board covered with pine tongue & groove boards.

The bedroom "wing" area has 10" of blown-in cellulose attic insulation.

The basement walls are constructed of Owens Corning “Fold-Form” walls which have 2” foam both on the inside and the outside of the 8” concrete wall.

Windows Designed for Energy Efficiency & Solar Gain

The generous number of south-facing solar windows provide abundant passive solar gain during the winter months. In fact, the passive solar from the windows in the great room is sufficient to keep the room comfortable with very little, if any, heat from the in-floor system. The majority of windows in the house face south to maximize passive solar input.

All windows are Anderson low-e windows with the tilt-and-wash feature. These Energy Star windows have wood frames, vinyl clad and are pre-finished on the outside.

Standing Seam Metal Roof

The roof is a Mueller pre-finished standing seam Snaplock metal roof system with hidden fasteners, gutters and downspouts. It is designed to never leak or need replacing. If desired, a rain water collection system could be added.

This home is extremely functional, comfortable and perfect for active people with many and varied interests. The porch is great for just relaxing.
