Every detail, from energy-efficient appliances to renewable materials, has been thoughtfully chosen to minimize environmental impact without sacrificing luxury.

Heating is provided primarily through in-floor heating, complemented by the warmth of south-facing windows to offer maximum efficiency. The property boasts 590 feet of shoreline, a private pond, and trails through the mixed forest. Additionally, residents have access to a private beach shared with the homeowners community. The original homestead remains and presently used for storage.

There is a dug well which is presently in use, plus a new drilled well. There is also a new wood stove. Both can be hooked up at the buyer's discretion (id:47423)
