❤️ Efficient heating system and 2 "Evaporative Cooling Systems" - An Evaporative Cooler lowers the air temperature by passing outdoor air over water soaked pads and then pulling the cooled evaporated air into the home. Evaporative cooling systems can be used effectively in the dry desert air of Mesa County. Operating instructions are included in the home but does require a window or two to be cracked open to allow for circulation. This cooling effect will achieve similar home temperatures as other forms of cooling, however the air may feel more humid and be louder (due to the fan) than refrigerated air units.

Family time

We gathered our married children here. The enclosed yard, and big grassy field gave us the space to play all the activities we hoped. There was more room inside than we expected. We loved being away from crowds and traffic. It turned out perfect for us!!
