Going "Green" on Highway 4...Red Apple Ranch Now Open For Your Viewing Pleasure!
Calaveras County, CA...Red Apple Ranch, the new "Green" Subdivision on Hwy 4 in Murphys, held their Grand Opening a couple of weeks ago, and will continue to be open every weekend from 10am~4pm. We had the pleasure to sit down with the developers last week and were impressed with what they would like to accomplish. Each of their model homes has integrated solar in the roof, radiant floors This is a cutting edge & great looking way to make a green home esthetically pleasing. The "Green" is much more than just the roofs.....
  
The Ranch will now be open weekends from 10am~4pm. Model home is available for viewing. Price for model is $829K, 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath with approx. 2700 sqft. The 2nd home is nearing completion and also available@ $849K, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths with approx. 2900 sq ft. In addition, 2 other homes are under construction with foundations poured this week.
They are taking reservations only at this time on both homes and lots...The Public is invited to stop by!

From Their Website
"When the land was purchased from the Darbys, it had been slated for development as a subdivision. We realized this was a unique and special property and deserved to be developed in as sensitive a manner as possible. When planning the development of this community, extremely ambitious goals were set and as far as we are aware unique to residential development in the United States. Our goals were to preserve the natural beauty of the land, build a community of homes that would be oriented to green building principals, and in the process create and practice a more thoughtful approach to the development, design and construction of houses on this scale.
In implementing our goals, the first and most important commitment was to design each home separately, unlike most subdivisions or tract projects. Each home is a custom architectural design, unique to take advantage of its particular site, incorporating views, creating a sense of privacy and the ability to harness electricity and heating from solar technologies. Most homes will range in size from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Each home will utilize water from the Calaveras County Water District and will have solar power while being connected to PG&E with net-metering."
