WOW! Words are not adequate to describe this beautiful home! You really must see it to believe the exquisite beauty of this well thought out, custom, net-zero bermed-earth passive solar home. The home was designed by Mike Shealy, and has been meticulously maintained. Every detail of this house was planned with beauty and comfort in mind. From the glass pieces in the walls that allow light to pass through, to the intricate designs on the floors and walls, even down to the very construction, not a single detail was overlooked. The interior consists of adobe walls, tile, granite, and artistic etched acid concrete floors, which all provide thermal mass to retain heating and cooling. The ceiling of this home is made of beetle-kill tongue-and-groove pine, with a maximum height of 14 feet, which provides an open and airy atmosphere throughout the home. All of the appliances are electric and powered by renewables. The 5.2 kWatts of renewable energy capacity is enough to power the home and still have some reserve for other items such as, maybe an electric vehicle? This home has been very well sealed and is heated and cooled by nature. It has been over-engineered with larger lumber sizes, which allow for double or even triple the normal amount of insulation, providing thermal benefits AND an incredibly quiet atmosphere in even the worst of storms. The home also has a heat recovery ventilator which recirculates fresh air for healthy, non-stale fresh air. New Andersen windows, with electric motors can be operated by the push of a button, and rain sensors will automatically close the windows. This lovely home has a horse fence, animal runs, beehives, garden space, and 5 varieties of fruit trees. There is an additional lot available as well. Schedule your showing today!
