Property Description
Introduction
Introducing an Environmentally Healthy, Energy Efficient, “Green” home, located on a five acre parcel on an oak-wooded hill. An architectural design by Jolyon H. Sawrey, owner of Vital Ink Environmental Architecture in Bellevue, ID, has been beautifully situated on this now rare acreage. Constructed of European ICF Durisol block (currently called Nexcem), this house is one of only three of its kind in the Midwest, one of only 20,000 in the USA, and the only one for sale. Semi-attached four room office with half bath, and two car garage, makes your own business or work-from-home, with high-speed fiber optic cable access, viable options. All electric, one level, and entirely “GREEN” house from its slab-on-grade upwards, and built to international above-code efficiency standards, with 1 foot thick Durisol ICF insulated block and steel headers, is structurally rated to withstand an F-3 Tornado.
The home is perfect for those wanting a healthy, chemical free environment, and those with chronic health problems, (wheelchair friendly!). Minimal two acres of landscaping around the house, inspiring sunset views over miles of fields and woods, and the fortress-like feel of the house itself are conducive to good health. Large windows and skylights and generous walk-out patios encourage outdoor living. This home, quiet and, as has been said before, fortress-like, presents a truly rare opportunity to experience private country living in a completely natural environment.
