While the property offered several possible building sites, solar analysis led to a south-sloping open hillside dubbed 'Big Sky.' Much of the property is shaded by the ridge south of the creek, but 'Big Sky' has ample access to sun throughout the year. The western edge is tucked in to mature oak trees, giving sun protection during summer afternoons.
