What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

Home features modern Victorian design with 10” thick hand-laid local stone walls for thermal mass, super-insulation, and active solar & renewable outdoor wood boiler with hydronic radiant floor heating. Large solar water heating panel heats floor and domestic hot water needs. Back-up heat is propane gas. Extensive hardscaping around the home is planted with native perennial wildflowers and out back is a large stone woodshed. Under one porch is a concrete storm/root cellar. The log cabin was the valley’s original homestead made just before the Civil War with broadaxe using classic half-dovetail joinery. It features a porch of local stone, an efficient wood stove in place of the original fireplace, hardwood floors and a sleeping loft. A bath and kitchen addition needs restoration. 220V generator plug is wired into the house for emergency power.

Property Description

Designed mindfully over 25 years by an engineer/craftsman as a sustainable organic farm and homestead, the property has supported generations for 150 years and is now ready for the next 1-1/2 centuries. A large running spring flows from a pristine limestone aquifer on the mountain into fertile bottomland recently operated as an organic farm. Water system includes solar pumped spring water and drilled well to a 1500 gallon gravity storage tank on the mountain. A small animal barn, stone woodshed and a 20 x 40 ft. stone shop building with 220V power are included and a 2” irrigation system runs across the property to 3 different garden plots with sandy to clay loam soils. The mountain is cedar, oak and pine managed sustainably to provide an endless supply of wood, poles and timber along with wildlife habitat for deer, turkey and small game. 3 miles of 4WD roads allow access to all parts of the property. Over 30,000 daffodils are naturalized across the bottomland and the spring flows across the property into a year-round creek. Please see property website link at bottom of this page for detailed photos, videos, floor plans and property maps.
