This is a unique and special home. It was designed and built to be energy efficient. The house faces south to allow the sun to shine into the family/living room and heat the slate flooring warming the home. The remaining three sides of the home are built into the ground with a berm that runs approximately 2/3 of the way up the home. This allows the home to maintain a more consistent temperature. A pergola with a roof was constructed which prevents the sun from shining into the family room, but this feature could be restored by removing the pergola. This one story home is over 2000 SF with 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The hall bath has been remodeled with a heated floor and towel bars. There is an oversized (20'x30") 2 car garage with workshop and a large paved driveway with parking for 6 cars. Behind the garage is a garden shed with running water. Surrounded by wildlife, this 1.54 acre property is looking for it's new owner. More info and photos to come. Showings to begin 2.11.23.

Rural District
The intent of this section is to regulate development in sensitive natural areas, such as those that contain or consist of steep slopes, wetlands, or floodplain. By regulating development in these environmentally sensitive areas, the Township can protect water quality, reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, preserve habitat for animals, and prevent loss of life and property due to flooding. The maximum density of new residential development in this district will be limited to permitting single family detached dwellings at an average of not more than 1 home per 3 acres. The Township encourages creative planning and design toward compact development of smaller lots to help preserve the natural areas.
Permitted uses
