About this home
Discover a truly one-of-a-kind property featuring a thoughtfully designed passive solar home that blends energy efficiency with the beauty of its natural surroundings. The attached solarium captures the sun's warmth and passively distributes heat throughout the home, reaching all the way to the second floor for year-round comfort. Inside, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a welcoming dining area, and a cozy living room centered around a freestanding propane stove. While the home's exterior has a distinctive architectural appearance, most of the windows are strategically positioned on the east side to maximize natural light and take full advantage of the passive solar design. A large detached two-car garage includes a generously sized heated loft, offering endless possibilities for a workshop, studio, home office, or additional storage. Set on beautiful, mostly level land, the property is carpeted with lush moss that creates a peaceful woodland setting and naturally minimizes landscape maintenance. If you're looking for privacy, sustainability, and a truly unique home surrounded by nature, this property is a must-see. This home has a new metal roof...gutters...appliances...paint and refinished wood floors.
