Quiet 4.4 acres 4.7 miles from the square with a super-efficient home built in 2013. Bamboo floors, open floor plan, and lots of daylighting. We designed our home with one room and a loft with a storage area and regular stairs leading up to it. Built with SuperiorWalls, it has R-30-40 in the walls and R60 in the ceiling. The tiny wood stove heats the house and a window AC unit can cool it. Crafted with built in cedar clothes racks in a walk through closet, hidden doors, and built-in cubbies. It is a wonderful place to get away from the rest of the world and connect with the surroundings.
Three outbuildings add to the space:
12x32 gambrel shed with 2 lofts, insulated with wool, gives it a warm and soft touch, partially finished with rough electric and 4 additional windows framed and is ready to be finished to your liking. It has ~3kw of solar with inverter and battery that can work tied to grid or off grid. (This shed could easily be removed from the property if it is not desired and price property reduced.)
12x12 studio room next to the pond finished with cedar shingles and hand plaster inside (90%) complete is a great place to focus or relax.
7x14 lean-to - we used as a dairy sheep barn
