Contact Us About This Property
Sustainable is the word for this 5,000 sq. ft. home or retreat on 10+ acres! This quality, cutting edge home is the result of green construction, and features an energy-efficient wood (or propane) fueled boiler that provides radiant in-floor heat and hot water to the whole house. This home has a highly functional interior and exterior that is also attractive, and is situated for east and south-facing exposure.
Now priced $130,000 below original asking price, which makes it more affordable for anyone looking for true sustainability potential – with a highly insulated foundation, exterior walls and roof made of reinforced poured concrete, with logs and log siding completing the exterior. Except on the coldest of winter weeks, one firing of the boiler provides the hot water mass needed to heat the house and supply hot water for a family of seven for the whole week!
About half of the acreage is cleared for gardening or farming. Property already includes a horse pen, barn, stream, and other small outbuildings ready for a sustainable, organic and self-sufficient life style.
Secluded and away from the busy tempo of more developed areas, this home is 35 minutes to Wilkesboro or West Jefferson, and 45 minutes to Boone, NC. Ideal for a family wanting to home-school children in a natural setting with many elements of a sustainable life style away from light and noise pollution. This home is also ideal for a year-round private retreat for church groups and corporations.
