What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

Passive solar design, the radiant heat system (not currently hooked up), and the construction technique, which makes use of local material for exceptional insulating properties, are the most green features of this home.

Property Description

This hand built home is located on five acres in central Surry. The home features a passive solar design, a full length front porch, tile floors throughout the first floor, and radiant heat potential. It was constructed using an environmentally friendly straw bale technique, which provides an excellent insulation value and features attractive interior and exterior stuccoed walls. 
For a thoughtful and pleasing aesthetic, the house was designed in keeping with the Golden Mean (the Phi rectangle) which describes proportions recurring in nature.
The lot is mostly wooded with mixed hardwood and has an open yard and a small, cleared field. 
There is also a workshop with electrical service and a storage shed.

Neighborhood Description

It is located in a small development of large lots on a private road maintained by residents.
