For Real Estate in the Roaring Fork Valley

“

I launched my office in January 2017 and have received many comments on my ads from friends and acquaintances. Your advertising staff helps me pull a sleek ad together each month, and is always responsive to my questions and suggestions. My ad is the nu mber one reason many people know I started my own firm. I have lived in the valley for a while, and I was frankly surprised by how many people I already know found my new office through my ad. I was not as surprised, but pleased by the wonderful new clients who found me through this ad. The magazine has such a professional feel, but it also maintains strong local roots. It is not a ticky-tack rag packed full of ads, which wouldn’t interest the quality clients I want to reach. Roaring Fork Lifestyles is beautifully edited, photographed and written. Its success (and the success of my ad) is due to Roaring Fork Lifestyle’s real content that interests members of the community.

Thanks for all you do.

Sincerely,

—Jamie J. Roth Law office of Jamie J. Roth

My experience with the Roaring Fork Lifestyle magazine and their employees has been nothing but outstanding. This publication has been a big part of my success in getting my Real Estate listings out to the public and they always give me such great service, even when I need to get something in last minute or make any changes. K nowing my ad will be included with great articles, wonderful photographs, and provide all the communities events grabbing everyone’s attention is exactly the advertising I want for my clients.

SKI PAIN OR KNEE PAIN? Has the ski season taken a toll on your knees? Skiing and hiking the valley contribute to overuse injuries. Limited knee flexibility is the primary cause of knee pain. The most common cause of limited knee flexibility is adhesion. Fixing adhesion in the knee reduces pain by restoring flexibility and strength. Avail Soft Tissue & Spine is your valley expert for fixing the most common cause of knee pain.

RESTORE 2.0 IS BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE SUSTAINABLE THAN EVER THE TWO HARD-HATTED GREEN DINOSAURS FLANKING THE WALK OF THE NEW RESTORE ARE APT GREETERS. Like dinos, the new store is gargantuan, scaled in keeping with the outsized mission of Habitat for Humanity. But Habitat’s new store also harbors a secret that locals might not expect: small prices.

The new, improved building brims with bargains!

The reason? Our local Habitat for Humanity’s 40,500-square-foot sustainable building, the second largest ReStore in Colorado, completely transformed the local nonprofit’s financial structure. Because of the facility’s deep-green features, Habitat saves $24,000 a year in utility bills alone, enabling it to live out its home-building mission (and save you a dime) in a way that was previously not possible.

As Executive Director Scott Gilbert explains, all four former locations of the local ReStore were once stuck chasing “cheap rent,” something that has largely vanished in the Roaring Fork Valley. “We’re dedicated to the idea that homeownership confers permanent financial CONTINUED >

advantages,” says Gilbert. “Our board did some deep soul-searching, asking, ‘If homeownership makes sense for individuals, doesn’t it make sense for us as an organization?’”

The answer, they found, is yes. The new ReStore was made possible by loans from Alpine Bank and the USDA, plus major gifts from Jim and Connie Calaway, CORE, the Gardener Foundation, and Bighorn Toyota. In addition to having a new mortgage payment that costs less than prior rents, the facility also delivers multiple environmental benefits: Because it makes use of day-lighting and because all interior lights are LEDs, lighting costs about one-third what it would in a comparable retail store. A 56 kW solar array powers nearly all the store’s energy use. And it’s far more comfortable for both workers and shoppers.

Upon entering, shoppers notice the transformation at a glance.

Goodies that were formerly stacked high and deep or stuffed in shadowed nooks are now handsomely staged by Marjon Huibers, ReStore's interior designer. Everything from furniture to home décor to appliances and building supplies is now consolidated in one location.

And ReStore’s collection of wares now contains a lot more treasures. Among the added offerings are new mattresses, decorator rugs, never-used appliances retailers wouldn’t sell due to minor scratches and dents, cabinets and vanities that will be custom-built, and a variety of arts and crafts items from Habitat for Humanity International.

Readers can view a one-minute preview of the new building on Habitat Roaring Fork Valley’s Youtube channel. Or better yet, stop for a visit: Look for the bright green welcome sign at 53 Calaway Court just south of CMC Road and enter the door by the green dinosaurs wearing hard hats.

“We’re all about green,” chuckles Gilbert. “We’re well on our way to becoming a self-sustaining nonprofit. So come in, buy green and save some green.”

When Roaring Fork Lifestyle Magazine first ca me out, we were so excited as it gave our Community and our Valley an identifiable presence in a beautiful, upscale glossy form. We thought we would try an ad or two to see how it went - and then realized that our marketing dollars were reaching the entire valley – and we saw a definite increase in our Business. Additionally, Rick French the Publisher personally delivers a stack of Roaring Fork Lifestyle Magazines and by seeing him in person has made us feel like a “partner” in our marketing efforts. Having Rick French the Publisher take such time with his Clients and provide that personal touch and care, has made our experience with Roaring Fork Magazine – a remarkable one.

MODERN WEST FLORAL COMPANY BLOOMS WITH LOCALLY GROWN BOTANICALS NO ONE EXPECTED THEIR FLOWERS TO COME FROM LOCAL SOIL—UNTIL NOW. With roots in landscape architecture, the untamed diversity of the Roaring Fork Valley landscape, and blooms from their own high country floral farm, the designers behind Mountain West Floral Company (MWFC) create botanical experiences steeped, they say, in the valley’s floral terroir.

“Our hope has been to shift our clients’ perception of beauty and encourage others to appreciate and respect the uniqueness of our local aesthetic,” says co-founder Vanessa Gilbert.

“In order to accomplish this,” fellow founder Tara Abbaticchio says, “we harness the deep Colorado aesthetic of beauty by foraging locally (for which we have permits). We let the architecture of a flower, branch, stem, or dried seed head initiate the design. We then complement the ever-changing local availability with annual varieties grown on our farm in Carbondale.”

“Our goal,” she adds, “is to be purely focused on the people who value the local, seasonal aspect of what they’re getting. They’re okay with not knowing exactly what color or what flower they’re going to get because they want what’s available at the time.”

Focusing on events, weddings, weekly contracts, and gifts, MWFC’s style is reflected in both Gilbert and Abbaticchio’s inclinations.

Gilbert leans toward the romantic and colorful: “apricot blossoms in the spring, with lilac branches, peonies, that’s when I start feeling good,” she chuckles. Abbaticchio is drawn to the airy architecture of a specimen, especially in the fall “when they’re drying, even more than when they’re alive,” she says.

Gilbert pokes good-natured fun at her business partner's fondness of “tumbleweeds,” but Abbaticchio proudly shares stories of going for walks and runs, hands full of weathered husks by the time she returns.

“Even just one of those in a vase is so much prettier than a grocery store flower,” she asserts.

MWFC’s approach to floral sustainability may be unmatched in the valley. The two women farm their own flowers organically on the valley floor east of Carbondale. There are no chemical drenches, no trans-Atlantic air transport. Gilbert and Abbaticchio are also inspired by the organic farmers of the North Fork Valley around Paonia. Role model Zephyros Farms has been very supportive of their work and a reliable source for horticultural wares. For example, for Valentine’s or Mother’s Day arrangements, MWFC will order unusual stems from these and other organic farms. Both women prefer utilizing stylish alternatives to the standardized imports of South America and Africa.

So ultimately, their hearts and intentions are truly local.

Gilbert originally moved to the valley after landscape architecture school to apprentice at Sustainable Settings for several seasons. She wanted to learn more about ecology, cycles, seasons. She wanted to grow, to connect with the earth prior to launching her career in landscape architecture.

Several years later, well into their careers at a prolific firm, the siren song of earth and creation began to call to both Gilbert and Abbaticchio.

In the spring, when the sap begins to flow and the buds to swell, when roots begin to stir anew, the MWFC shop at the Studio for Arts and Works in Carbondale becomes a hotbed of early-season growth. Heat mats and grow lights usher in new life: architectural spires of larkspur, bells of Ireland and snapdragons, frothy love-in-a-mist, Queen Anne’s lace, and luminous dahlias.

From everlastings to the ephemeral, MWFC grows clean botanicals. These organic florals, grown two to three miles from their shop, are rooted in historic potato fields, nourished by alpine sun and air, and enlivened by valley water and weather. They are imbued with the raw, elemental nature of our Rocky Mountains: that floral terroir that Abbaticchio and Gilbert espouse.

“We wanted to fill the void of ‘everyone wants to know where their local food comes from.’ You should know where your flowers come from, too,” Abbaticchio says. “If you’re in the habit of buying flowers, it’s another part of our local agriculture that’s just as important.”

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

IS PAIN LIMITING YOUR MOUNTAIN ACTIVITIES?

32

Roaring Fork Lifestyle | April 2018

ARTICLE DR. ADAM HOLEN PHOTOGRAPHY CODY ISAMAN

+ WHY YOU’RE HURTING: The most common cause of muscle, nerve, and joint pain is overuse. Skiing, hiking, biking, exercise, and time at work add up. Your body can only handle so much.

Gradually, your muscles build up adhesion. Adhesion acts like glue—limiting your flexibility and strength.

Limited flexibility caused by adhesion is the most common and most under-diagnosed problem in the body, but with expert care, it’s also the most fixable problem.

+ WHERE CAN YOU GET EXPERT CARE? Avail Soft Tissue & Spine is your valley expert for the diagnosis and treatment of adhesion. Since relocating to Glenwood Springs from Denver in August 2017, our goal has been to keep the valley active, healthy, and exploring the mountains. I train extensively to continually provide the best care possible, particularly because I have experienced numerous athletic injuries myself and understand that pain can be extremely limiting. As a results-based clinic we pride ourselves on offering a more thorough solution to your pain, specializing in cases that have failed with physical therapy, traditional chiropractic, and even surgery.

We work hard, so injuries won’t limit your lifestyle.

+ SUSTAINABLE RESULTS: Since limited flexibility is a primary cause of pain, we test, measure, and restore the most important ranges of motion. You can’t have a healthy body part with limited, difficult, or painful mobility. Fixing adhesion restores healthy mobility, reduces pain, and slows degeneration. Progress is measured during each visit with the goal of achieving easy, pain-free, full mobility of your body part. We strive to effectively fix your problem with sustainable results, so you can get back to doing what you love most: being active in our valley’s rich outdoor recreation community.

WHERE THE ROAD ENDS OPEN HOUSE

Roaring Fork Lifestyle | April 2018

HILLTOP BLISS IN BASALT EVERYONE DREAMS OF HAVING A LITTLE SLICE OF THE VALLEY TO CALL THEIR OWN. If that slice includes incredible mountain views like the ones this home has to offer, all the better.

At the very top of Hillcrest Drive in Basalt, this strategically positioned retreat sits on a beautiful, coveted lot high above the midvalley bustle.

Generous windows allow natural light to flood each room while providing expansive views of the valley below. On pleasant days when the windows just aren’t enough, the home’s three main decks should do the trick—for sunbathing, relaxing, or entertaining friends and family.

Three bedrooms, three baths, spacious living areas, and a finished open-concept basement (with its own private fourth deck) invite a homeowner’s creative side to imagine the possibilities.

An added bonus to the home’s location is its proximity to both the contemporary convenience of Willits Town Center and the old-fashioned charm of downtown Basalt. Dine, shop, relax, or play in the mountains: It’s all up to you. In this home, the sky’s the limit. For information, contact listing agent Todd Ambrose of Coldwell Banker Mason Morse at 970.945.3762 or visit MasonMorse.com.

A PLACE IN THE SUN

Sunsense Solar Partners with Nonprofits to Help Provide Sustainable Energy for All

Photo: Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork Valley

NOT SO LONG AGO, SOLAR ENERGY SEEMED OUT OF REACH FOR THE AVERAGE CONSUMER. Although many had the desire to adopt a green energy solution and take control of their electricity bills, the upfront cost of a solar setup was often unaffordable. Fortunately, things have changed in recent years.

“Solar is now much more low-cost than it once was,” says Katharine Rushton, commercial sales and marketing manager for Sunsense Solar. “But there will always be marginalized groups who don’t have access, and they are in fact the ones who need the most help because they may be struggling to pay utility bills.”

Although Rushton notes that while there is no magic solution to this dilemma, Sunsense is actively taking steps to close the gap in accessibility for local residents. The company, voted Best Solar Provider in Roaring Fork Lifestyle’s Readers’ Choice awards last year, has served the valley since 1990 and values its deep commitment to bettering the community.

“We understand that sustainability is bigger than just environmental concerns and that social equity leads to community resilience,” she adds. “A challenge for the solar industry has been to expand the solar market to include lower-income individuals and the nonprofits that serve them.”

With that challenge continually on its radar, Sunsense has maintained a longstanding partnership with Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork Valley. To date, the company has donated design and installation 40
