Both beautiful and innovative, these remarkable new homes are in high demand. For best homesite selection and exclusive updates on this first-of-its-kind community in the Central Valley, interested homebuyers are encouraged to visit a De Young Welcome Center today and join the VIP list! Be on the lookout for the official release date of these new homesites, coming soon!

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with a new, zero energy home? This is your opportunity to live in a beautiful new home that you can truly be proud of – a home that offers a lower environmental impact, lower energy bills, and a greater, greener life for you and your family.

In order for a home to be labeled Zero Energy, also known in the homebuilding and energy industries as Zero Net Energy, it must be exceptionally energy efficient and designed with the potential to produce as much clean energy as it consumes in a year.

Each De Young EnVision floorplan is designed as a computer energy model that allows building scientists to optimize home energy consumption and solar production. The homes use De Young EnergySmart features, such as heat pump water heaters that harvest energy by extracting heat from the ambient air around the unit, a performance sealed attic, advanced framed walls, and ample formaldehyde-free insulation with airtight construction, among other energy efficient features.

The homes also include a solar power system designed with the potential to produce enough energy to bring net annual energy consumption to zero. Once an EnVision Zero Energy home is built, it is up to the energy use choices of each homeowner to achieve optimum results. This simple “production and consumption” formula is guided by sophisticated U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and industry-accepted methodology and energy simulation software to predict a home’s annual energy consumption, as well as calculate how much solar must be installed to produce an equivalent amount of clean energy. Homeowner energy consumption practices are also paramount in achieving Zero Energy status as designed by De Young’s building science team.

De Young EnVision is amidst Loma Vista’s developing 20-mile network of lush parks, nature trails and tree-lined streets in the Shaw and Highland neighborhood which also boasts beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Nearby Pasa Tiempo, Palmina, and Los Arbolitos Parks, with additional parks planned for the area, will provide plenty of outdoor fun and activities for the family.

De Young EnVision is located in the highly-acclaimed Sanger Unified School District, providing an opportunity for education excellence. The Clovis Country Shopping Center is just a few minutes away from shopping and daily needs. In addition, Sierra Vista Mall, Clovis Crossing, The Square at Campus Pointe, Old Town Clovis and Wild Water Adventure Park, are a short drive for entertainment and dining options. The community is also within minutes of a variety of well-established business centers and the distinguished Clovis Community Medical Center.

Whether for work or play, De Young EnVision’s location provides easy access to Highway 168 for a fast work commute during the week or a weekend family outing. With an easy drive to Pine Flat, Shaver or Huntington lakes, you’ll have the opportunity to create memories to last a lifetime.

EnVision homes will be available in eight floorplans ranging from 1,690 – 3,820 square feet, and prices will start in the $300,000’s. To learn more about the Zero Energy homes at EnVision, please visit www.deyoungproperties.com/zeroenergy.
