Thanks for posting that link. I've started entering for the house. I'd love to get a house as nice as that in Denver. And then I started looking around at where this is and it gets sort of interesting.
Stapleton is a new 'burb of Denver being built on the old Denver airport grounds. Google Earth shows the area to be a land of undeveloped waste not far from downtown, with all sorts of consumeropolis built around it. What intrigued me most about what showed on the map and a blip mentioned in the Stapleton article on the HGTV website, was the adjacent Rocky Mountain Wildlife refuge. How awesome! A Huge parcel of park land right next to the home is a real bonus. And what did this refuge used to be?
Why it was the Rocky Mountains Chemical Weapons Arsenal Facility! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_Arsenal
What a "green" home! What a failure in good marketing. What's a little Willy Pete, Mustard Gas, Sarin, Napalm, etc. to ruin a true Dream Home? Yes, it actually is a toxic waste sight too. Within the RMA area a 11k foot well was drilled so Uncle Sam could pour his waste into the capped well. It was called Basin F. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basin_F
Some further reading of the horrors of RMA and Basin F: http://scorecard.goodguide.com/env-releases/land/site.tcl?epa_id=CO5210020769#threats
I'm still gonna enter.

Oh, exactly. I will feel bad for the winner dreaming of moving to Denver and living in this groovy house. They get there and the neighbors all are hush about the "dirty secret"? Sad.
