The story
- Pool
Off-grid custom-built modern farmhouse on 53 acres. No electric bills here! This exquisite estate nestled in the woods is powered with solar panels (not visible from the house) with a backup propane generator. A modern ($22,000) outdoor wood furnace heats the house, the hot water, and the hot tub. The home also has a propane tankless hot water heater that is secondary or backup to the outdoor wood furnace. This property has a secondary geothermal heat system that would only need to be used as a heating source if not utilizing the outdoor wood furnace. The primary cooling is the geothermal system. No expenses were spared as blown foam insulation was used to encapsulate from the walk in crawl space (that seems more like a basement) to the rooftop. A $10,000 water purification system provides clean and tasteful well water. The amazing backyard retreat will be an escape for the new homeowner with an in-ground salt-water lagoon style pool with a sun shelf with two in-pool loungers and a diving board.The salt-water hot tub wrapped in stacked stone cascades into the pool for a peaceful and relaxing sight and sound. A hand-held remote can control the pool and hot tub lighting, heat to the hot tub, and hot tub jets. Many windows with transoms were utilized for an optimal view of the backyard oasis from the dining, living, kitchen, office, and master bedroom. North Mouse Creek is visible from the wrap around porch and from other areas on the 53 acres. Buyers will love the long (approx. 1200+') driveway through the woods leading to this private retreat. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home will be one you never want to leave! Your guests will notice the custom touches in every room including the tongue and groove ceiling on the wrap around porch; cedar wrapped beams; custom made shutters; shiplap in several rooms; feature walls; and cathedral ceiling with decorative beams in the living room. The kitchen features a large island with quartz countertops with seating for 5, a farmhouse sink in the island, brick backsplash, custom cabinets, an antique pantry door, copper handles and knobs on the wifi programmable stainless appliances, gas stove with double oven, and a built-in microwave that doubles as an additional oven.
