Set high on a hill and privately tucked back from the road, this custom-built Post & Beam home is a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and sustainability. Constructed with Murus Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), the home offers a high-performance, tightly sealed envelope-three to five times more efficient than standard construction. This advanced building method enhances energy efficiency while minimizing drafts, dust, pollen, and noise. Inside, you'll find an open-concept living space with soaring cathedral ceilings that highlight the beautiful wood interior. The custom hickory kitchen cabinetry, granite island with built-in sink, and stained concrete floors with radiant heat blend rustic charm with modern luxury. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, along with a uniquely designed full bath featuring a stunning fieldstone shower that evokes the feel of a refined barn-style retreat. Upstairs, a spacious loft area offers flexible living space and is illuminated by a striking 10x10 cupola that beautifully captures the moonlight. The first-floor laundry room includes a high-efficiency Viessmann boiler, continuing the home's commitment to comfort and efficiency. Thoughtful details are found throughout, from horseshoe door knobs and a repurposed barrel-end kitchen counter sourced from a local distillery, to a one-of-a-kind bath sink from Texas and a quartz laundry sink mined in Mexico. Even the dining table-complete with Texas tractor-seat stools-adds character and history. A two-car attached garage with oversized doors adds practicality, while covered front and rear porches offer peaceful spaces for relaxing, entertaining, or additional covered parking and storage. Located on 3.61 scenic acres, this one-of-a-kind home combines artistry, energy efficiency, and tranquility in a truly special setting. All room sizes are approximate.
