Tesla Solar Roof

Check out this solar roof by Tesla being installed in a new custom Sopris Home in Boulder, Colorado. This design of this home has roots in our highly popular Aspen model and it is the second home we have built for these clients. The roof was installed by Weddle and Sons Roofing, a highly skilled roofer and Tesla specialist based in Manhattan, KS with multiple regional offices. 

As you might have guessed, this home will have a Tesla battery system or Powerwall in addition to a geo-thermal heating and cooling system. This is a super efficient house to say the least. 

Solar install

There is growing interest in Solar Roofing Systems in many our new homes. Many people also take solace in not being dependent on the power grid in addition to having a clean energy source that is better for the environment and can add to the overall appeal of the home. Which solar system is right for you depends on a variety of individual factors. If you are a fan of Tesla cars or the brand in general, you’ll probably will be a fan of their Solar Roofing Systems.

Perhaps some advantages to Tesla over other solar options may be in both design and durability. To learn more about the Tesla Solar Roof you can visit the link below. In the meantime, Sopris Homes will continue to be a leader high-performance new home construction on Colorado’s front range.

Sopris recently released our remaining lots at The Farm at Woodridge, a luxurious rural gated community offering pastoral tranquility with only 27 total home sites all 1-1.7 acres. Woodridge boasts some of the very best views on the front range and is surrounded by open space and conservation easement. Despite the big views and country feel the farm is very accessible to shopping, schools and amenities and you are only minutes from Boulder, Loveland, Longmont and the new TPC Colorado. This is a must see community.

Hi John,

Attached you will find a short video testimonial by Bob Charles. Feel free to use it however you want Bob was more than happy to do it. Diane was a little shy or when it came to the camera.

But Bob and Dianne both spoke very highly of you, Sopris Homes and their experience in building with Sopris.

They raved about your organization, the craftsmanship and your aim of perfection.  They were very complementary of how much you desire to make your clients happy and your attention to detail from the beginning. 

Thank You!

New Castle model rendering

Introducing the Castle Rock

Many use one of our base plans as a starting point in designing their Custom Sopris Dream Home as our models are a blending evolution of both form and function and represent years of building experience and client feedback.

The New Castle is no different. It was initially designed to maximize efficiency and views in our Heron Lakes Community, however, the design is a tribute to modern Colorado living in every way.

Entering the home from the covered front porch, the foyer provides immediate access to a vaulted and private guest suite. At of the center of the foyer you’ll see the dining room to the right and a half-bath to the left.
The Owner’s Entry, a place to drop shoes and outside activities in a cubby, hang coats and de-stress without the muss after your daily or weekend activity.

New Castle Main level floor plan

High ceilings enhance your natural surroundings and add volume to the living areas while still retaining a sense of creature comfort. A gas fireplace adds warmth to the Grand Room, where entertainment area comes complete with a wood mantle, raised hearth and built in TV space. An adjacent Covered Terrace further creates a sense a place and brings the outdoors in.

Directly adjacent is an awe-inspiring kitchen, including an oversized center island and ample seating for the family, upscale cabinetry. A large walk-in pantry and sunny nook complete the “heart of the home,” to make the New Castle a place to call your own and appreciate for years to come.
