The construction of a new propane-powered home is underway on Missouri’s beautiful Redfield Golf Course in Eugene, Mo. Inspired by his passion for golf, owner Jay Coakley is teed up to build an active Missourian’s dream home, powered by the clean, American energy of propane. In partnership with the Missouri Propane Education & Research Council’s (MOPERC) Propane HomePro program, the home will showcase the many benefits of living the propane lifestyle.
MOPERC’s Propane HomePro program brings the complete home benefits of propane appliances to life in modern and luxurious home construction projects across the state of Missouri. It also highlights the advantages of building homes powered by propane and the opportunity to live the propane lifestyle, with benefits including superior home performance, efficiency, and comfort.
For Coakley and his family, propane was an intuitive choice because they have enjoyed the efficiency of propane space and water heating for over 20 years. Similar to many rural Missouri communities, natural gas was not an option in the Redfield Golf Course community due to the limited availability of gas piping infrastructure. However, with an underground propane tank, homeowners can enjoy all the amenities of gas appliances without the requirement of being connected to a gas utility.
“It just felt right to build this house,” Coakley said. “We were looking for a place where we could enjoy country living in a beautiful place. This home will have it all—a year-round opportunity to play golf and enjoy an active lifestyle with our family and friends.”
Family, golf, and an active lifestyle are all important to Jay, and this new home will bring these passions together. With an open floor plan, this 2,563 sq. ft., four-bedroom, 2-1/2-bath home will provide a great gathering place for his daughters and grandchildren, with the option for an afternoon round of golf a few steps away, right out the back door.
Propane will take the amenities of this home even further to deliver an ideal way of life—the propane lifestyle.
Homes powered by propane deliver superior comfort and efficiency compared with homes powered by other energy sources. Using high-efficiency propane gas appliances for major applications provides optimal energy output and unmatched performance.
For Coakley and his family, a propane furnace will deliver a warmer, more comfortable heat from the registers, regardless of the outdoor temperature. A propane water heater will efficiently deliver an adequate supply of hot water for his family and guests. The Coakleys will be able to cook with the precise temperature control preferred by professional chefs with a propane gas cookstove. Together, they can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace with a real flame, without the hassle of burning wood. Best of all, with a propane-powered backup generator, this home can keep running as usual, even during the event of a power outage.
“We’re very excited about this new Propane HomePro project,” said Steve Ahrens, president of MOPERC. “For our HomePro homes, we’re always looking for new ways we can share the story of propane with our audience. We’ve partnered with developers and builders before, but we’re really excited to tell this propane home story through the perspective of Jay as a homeowner.”
