About This Property

Bored with architectural convention? Looking for a home that gives more than it takes? If that's you, look no further! Built in 1982, this one-of-a-kind custom passive solar home was designed to capture, store, and radiate the sun's warmth throughout its living spaces.

Thoughtful architectural features an innovative energy-efficient design make this home as interesting as it is functional. At the heart of its design are distinctive solar thermal water walls-translucent, water-filled cylinders on the main level that absorb solar energy throughout the day and gradually release warmth as temperatures cool. Complementing this system are concrete Trombe walls in the basement, providing additional thermal mass to capture and store heat. The home's earth-bermed construction further enhances its natural insulation and temperature regulation.

Together, these integrated features were designed to reduce reliance on conventional heating. The property also features solar panels, adding another dimension to its energy-conscious design. Beyond its unique architecture, 1524 Wildwood offers four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a remodeled kitchen (2017), and abundant natural light throughout. Outside, the expansive backyard offers a private garden and orchard setting with plenty of room for gardening, gathering, playing, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

Situated on quiet Wildwood Court, the property is tucked into an established residential enclave in West Fort Collins. The close-knit neighborhood and genuine sense of community are particularly meaningful to the current owners, who have deeply appreciated the connections they've built with their neighbors. Distinctive in its architecture, thoughtful in its design, and rooted in a strong sense of community, 1524 Wildwood Court offers an uncommon opportunity to experience a different approach to home.
