Tour of Homes 2023 | The Eucalyptus House | Best of Show – CNC Homes

Set against the quiet beauty of the high desert, this three-level Brasada Ranch home is a study in warmth, texture, and considered design. It took Best of Show at the 2023 COBA Tour of Homes, one of four awards it earned that year. Sustainably farmed eucalyptus runs throughout the interior and exterior, grounding the home in its environment and reflecting an eco-conscious approach woven into every detail. Full triple-pane windows keep the interior cool through summer and warm through winter, a thoughtful pairing of sustainability and comfort. Judges named the home Best Architectural Design.

Inside, solid oak Hewn flooring stretches across every level, each plank hand-scraped to add depth and dimension to the rooms it anchors. Custom metal fretwork panels flank the living room fireplace, lending a sculptural elegance to the heart of the home. The kitchen features rich walnut cabinetry. Together, those details earned Best Interior Finish. The primary bedroom, finished with a striking Waterfall Grandis wood treatment that feels both organic and indulgent, took Best Master Suite. Modern wall-mounted toilets carry the home’s sleek, space-efficient sensibility into every bathroom.

Beyond the main living areas, a custom work area in the garage offers a creative, functional space, complete with epoxy flooring built for easy cleanup. Outside, expansive paver decking opens to uninterrupted views of the surrounding high desert, a serene setting designed for slow mornings, evening gatherings, and everything in between.
