'HeartLight House'' is a custom-designed, PASSIVE-SOLAR home with spectacular views, using leading-edge green construction, RADIANT floor heat, featuring a 23' VAULTED CEILING, & many SKYLIGHTS. This live-in sculpture has tree trunks, branches, & sculpted forms in 3 different woods on the gourmet kitchen cabinets & railings & is fully structurally engineered to withstand earthquakes. The earth-bermed level is naturally cool & could be a SEPARATE UNIT, family room, Art Studio, or 2nd Main Suite, with both inside & outside entrances, & its own deck. The peak, operable skylight vents hot air & produces a daily ''heart'' shape on the great room wall. The lush TID-irrigated organic yard is a CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT and includes a waterfall cascading into a bog & POND. There's also a fire pit, BBQ area, sitting areas & a giant checkerboard - a playland for all ages. Close to Lithia Park, OSF & downtown Ashland.
