Set on 2.81 secluded acres in the Seaman school district, this unique earth contact home offers the natural insulation, energy efficiency, and added peace of mind during severe weather that earth-sheltered construction is known for. Inside, the open living room features oversized windows, warm wood walls, and vaulted ceilings, opening up to the flexroom through French doors. Step down into the inviting hearth room, complete with built-in bench seating, a wet bar, and a fireplace - a perfect gathering spot. A recently added primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, with its own sitting room and an ensuite bath built over the footprint of the home's former indoor swimming pool, now a versatile finished space. Outside you'll find exceptional storage and workspace: a 2-car attached garage, a 3-car detached outbuilding, and a garden garage. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and over 3,000 square feet of finished living space, this is a one-of-a-kind property you don't want to miss.

Residential Reserve District
This district is established to provide for a transitional area between urbanized development with intensive activity areas, and the rural-agricultural areas; and which is expected to become urbanized in subsequent planning periods. The limitations of this district are intended to allow for the gradual development of urban uses and activities therefore providing for the coexistence with agricultural farmland activities based upon the availability and extension of municipal facilities and services. Such urban development will be permitted at appropriate intensity-density levels to assure that public improvement expenditures are appropriately planned for in advance of the conversion to urban uses.
