Dreaming of owning a Net Zero home in a community of like-minded people in Northern VA?  Want more than the production builder’s “EnergyStar” MacMansion? ? This move-in ready, 3300sf, 4BR+Den+Loft home on ½-acre is truly what Sustainable building is all about! You must visit this home to experience the difference that Healthy, Energy-efficient, & Environmentally friendly features make: Passive solar orientation (“True” South); SIPS construction (Structural Insulated Panel System); Geothermal HVAC system with programmable thermostat; ERV fresh air exchanger; airlock entry; Low-e windows on 2 sides of every room for abundant natural light & cross ventilation; Solar light tubes for natural daylighting in finished eaves; and reclaimed oak wood floors on both levels, with marmoleum flooring in the Kitchen & Baths. The exterior has a 50-yr Eco-Shake roof, 30-yr. Hardiplank siding, and low-maintenance Trex decking. Just add solar panels and inverter to move to a Net Zero (or beyond) realm. The home’s average utility bill in 2012 was only $145/mo. In addition to sustainability, this home has many other wonderful features that make it light, bright & airy including a loft, vaulted ceilings in most rooms, transom windows, a sky light, and 6 ceiling fans.  It also has universal features (zero steps into the home and to the deck, wide doorways & hallway with no interior thresholds, doors that swing inward, and 2 bedrooms & full bath on the entry level). This home was just freshly painted with Harmony brand Zero-VOC paint and Zero-VOC tints, and even comes with a rechargeable electric lawn mower with detachable cord. EcoVillage is a small rural hamlet with 13 other similar homes, and a few more available lots for sale. It is also an Audubon certified wildlife sanctuary, with organic certification and protected conservation areas.  It is just 7 minutes to the MARC train station at Point of Rocks, MD (with free parking), and just 5 minutes to a Potomac River boat launch area. 10 minutes to Lovettsville, VA; 15 min to Frederick, MD; and 20 minutes to Leesburg, VA.  Enjoy the deer, rabbits, birds, native plants, streams, and Mt. views as you wander along the community walking paths. It’s like living in a vacation getaway! Perfect for home-based businesses, or even as a vacation home/future retirement home.
