Clean Green Living!!! One of a Kind Home!!! Freedom from much of the monthly utility costs awaits you at this unique property built with self-sustainable living in mind. Kilowatts of Solar Panels means that free energy provided by the sun powers most of the needs of this beautiful home. In addition, 2 solar units on the garage roof top provide more hot water than you are likely to ever need. A rustic cedar-sided well house covers a deep well that pumps water not only for the household needs, but it supplies the entire yard and sprinkler systems. A septic tank means no regular sewer charges. Although this property is located entirely within a neighborhood with underground utilities. The six acres offers privacy and means that no one can build on either side or in front of the home without owners permission. Inside this beautiful log home there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, towering cathedral ceilings in the living and dining areas and a balcony on the second floor overlooks the first floor. The first floor features tile and slate flooring, plus 100 year-old heart pine flooring salvaged from Joanna Mill in living room and bedroom. The kitchen offers plenty of storage with hickory/birch cabinetry, custom built by a local craftsman. Nature's sunlight pours in through the huge windows high on the wall of the living area and from 4 skylights over the top floor. Hunter ceiling fans throughout, including 2 on the wide front porch and 1 on the comfortable back screened-in porch. Three separate HVAC systems can be used to heat or cool only the areas being used. The garden area has raised beds to grow your favorite crops and ready-to-use containers for storing compost. A cedar-shake roofed hen coop-one you will be proud to show off in your backyard- can contain up to 6 hens and a short walk across the lovely backyard will provide delicious fresh eggs most mornings. For the owner who dares a more adventurous spirit, honey-producing bee hives in the back yard bring a yearly joy of wonderful sweetness and protection against yearly allergies.
