This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 4,124 square-foot sanctuary seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living spaces, offering a private retreat like no other. Join us on a virtual tour of this stunning residence, where every detail has been carefully crafted to create a haven of comfort and sophistication. Location and Lot A Perfect Balance of Space and Privacy As you approach this magnificent home, you'll be immediately struck by its architectural beauty. The blend of modern design elements with rustic charm perfectly complements the natural surroundings. The exterior features a combination of stone and wood, showcasing the home's connection to its environment. The specific lot you choose can also factor into the price. In the mountains, the topography of your lot can make a great deal of difference in terms of cost. The slope of a lot can affect everything from pouring the foundation, to landscaping, to installing utilities. In general, the higher the slope a lot has, the harder the builder will have to work to develop the land and build the house. Mountain lots can also contain unexpected obstacles like rock, water, or colluvial soils, which take more work, and consequently more expense to correct. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by an open-concept living area that flows effortlessly into the kitchen, dining room, and outdoor spaces. The high ceilings and large windows flood the interior with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A: The Unit Price Estimate (UPE) is a customized pricing tool used to estimate project budgets based on client preferences. Alfred Bottego, Living Stone’s Head of Sales, will discuss the recent changes to UPE and how they can benefit clients. We will explore three key factors contributing to these changes: the supply chain, gross product pricing, and competitive pricing. Q: Give a brief overview of what's going on with UPE right now? A: UPE are constantly updated and refined based on completed projects to provide the most accurate pricing for new clients. Currently, there has been a downward shift in UPE due to several factors, including a more accessible supply chain, reduced gross product pricing, and increased competitiveness in the market.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id="1" _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" width_tablet="" width_phone="90%" width_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.19.1" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" header_2_font="||on||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_font_size="44px" custom_margin="||17px||false|false" header_2_font_size_tablet="31px" header_2_font_size_phone="31px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|tablet" border_width_bottom="2px" border_color_bottom="#919191" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Factor 1: Supply Chain[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="||0px|||" global_colors_info="{}"]Q: What has changed about this factor? A: The supply chain has caught up, allowing for increased availability of raw materials. Moreover, a slight decrease in demand has contributed to this shift, enabling the supply chain to better meet the required product availability. Q: Do you anticipate this shift to last? A: We expect the shift to remain consistent, although we anticipate a plateau at some point. Pricing will become more competitive and affordable over time as the market stabilizes, thanks to the availability of raw materials and lower demand.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id="bids" _builder_version="4.19.1" _module_preset="default" width_tablet="" width_phone="90%" width_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.19.1" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text module_id="2" _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" header_2_font="||on||||||" header_2_text_align="left" header_2_font_size="44px" custom_margin="||17px||false|false" custom_padding="||||false|false" header_2_font_size_tablet="31px" header_2_font_size_phone="31px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|tablet" border_width_bottom="2px" border_color_bottom="#919191" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]Factor 2: Gross Product Pricing Reducing[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="||0px|||" global_colors_info="{}"]Q: Can you provide examples of the specific aspects of a build where prices are being reduced? A: Currently, we are witnessing reductions in the prices of construction essentials such as wood, windows, sheathing materials, and other similar products. Q: Do you anticipate this shift to last? A: In the short term, yes. However, we expect that other factors influencing UPE, such as appliance costs, electrical expenses, metal prices, and labor rates, will soon offset the reduction in UPE.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on="off|off|off" _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" background_color="#f2f2f2" width_tablet="" width_phone="90%" width_last_edited="on|phone" custom_padding="24px||15px|||" box_shadow_style="preset4" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.19.1" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.21.0" _module_preset="default" background_color="#f2f2f2" custom_margin="||28px|||" custom_padding="7px|36px|7px|36px|true|true" custom_padding_tablet="29px|36px|29px|36px|true|true" custom_padding_phone="29px|28px|29px|28px|true|true" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]Learn About the Cost to Build How are macroeconomics affecting the cost to build a new home?
