The Burchell Home

Tucked away on nearly a five acre lot is this custom four bedroom, four and 1/2 bath home designed with the latest in green techonologies.  The home rests on a ridge top at nearly 4,500 feet elevation at the base of Snake Mountain.  The home adjoins nearly 130 acres of conservancy lands owned and managed by the Blue Ridge Conservancy.  The end of the cul-de-sac location offers easy year-round access and a desirable level of privacy.  The majestic mountain views, visible from almost every room, are truly extraordinary.  

This David Patrick Moses designed Burchell Home offers luxury and mountain elegance while maintaining the practicality of energy efficiency and low maintenance through the use of the latest in green technologies.  An energy efficient envelope was created around the house with soy based spray foam insulation in all exterior walls and the roof.  Recycled denim insulation in the interior walls provides high "R" values and provides exceptional sound abatement between the rooms.  An ERV, that exchanges the air in the house, provides constant clean, fresh air and controlls  humidity in the winter months.  Additionally, there is a high efficiency dual fuel HVAC system with zone control.
