Property Description

This is your opportunity to own one of the most energy-efficient homes in Ohio. This 2100 square foot house is built underground into the side of a hill with the windows of the south wall exposed to the sun. Constructed of concrete, water-proofed, and insulated to R-30 exterior of the walls provides a huge volume to store the heat entering through the windows. The primary heat source is the sun but there is a contra-flow masonry wood-burning heater with bake oven in the great room as well as a small wood stove in the bed room for winter days when the weather is continuously cloudy. There is a PV array and a wind turbine to supply the home keeping the batteries charged while the excess power is net-metered back to the utility. Natural gas from a well on site provides energy for cooking, food refrigeration, and the tankless water heater. An enthalpic energy recovery ventilator provides the home with fresh air. Just feet from the front door is a super-insulated cottage that is ready for retrofit to an additional 2 bedrooms and bath. The home include 1 year of free consultation after the sale with the original designer.
