Secluded, Green Delight:
Perfect for a retreat, family vacation or getaway, this secluded, comfortable house is surrounded by old apple trees on 30 acres of woods and fields, one mile down a well maintained dirt road. Its southern exposure makes it light and warm, and the efficient construction makes it easy to heat in the cooler months. There is an attached green house with a hot tub usable all year. In the basement family room there is an easy to operate far-infrared sauna. Natural materials are used throughout - natural linoleum floors in the kitchen, oak on the rest of the downstairs floors, natural cork in the basement family room, and pine throughout the upstairs. Both bathrooms have ceramic tiled floors and the showers are both lined with tiles. Eco-paints have been used throughout the house. Eco-laundry and dishwasher detergents are provided.
