Thank you! This house was built by Aspen Highlands Construction, though the company has since been renamed as Micah Cuttle & Associates.

Artificial Turf would look great there in place of the real grass. And it would hold up better too.

The lower level (garage) is about 600 square feet, and the guest suite upstairs is 400.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
John Hill added this to Dwellings vs. Houses — a Matter of Distinction
Jackson also talks about the class distinctions that made wood dwellings appropriate for those who might have to move on short notice to follow work (or, for farmers, when the land was exhausted), and those that made stone buildings appropriate for families with money who could remain in one place for generations. In another essay in Discovering the Vernacular Landscape, "Stone and Its Substitutes", he asserts that stone "was noble because it had been extracted from the depths of the earth and was timeless." On the other hand, felling a tree is relatively easy and cheap, reinforcing Jackson's distinctions.This cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains shows how stone can be used for walls and roofs. Together they give the house a solidity that roots it in its place.
Matt Clawson added this to What to Know Before Selecting Your Home’s Roofing Material
Wood shingles and shakes. This option is no longer the popular choice it once was, and it has a poorer fire rating than other materials. Still, many people like the historic look, and it’s a material that’s easy to work with. It also provides insulation value to the home.Read more about wood shingles and shakes
Matt Clawson added this to No Substitute for the Natural Beauty of Wooden Roof Shingles and Shakes

This house feels connected to the land and like it has been there for a long time. The parking area feel like a courtyard, making and ugly necessity feel more intimate. The narrow entryway feels cozy and good.
