Just beyond is the cozy living area where you can relax amidst the stone vented gas hearth with massive, hand cut cherry mantle, large picture window, knotty pine walls accented with lantern lighting and carpeting.

Natural skylights reflect the golden glow of the heart pine flooring throughout, and the stained glass window above catches the afternoon sun. This is a home built by a fitness oriented couple who's hallmark has been to build a healthy and energy efficient dwelling, with love, time, and creativity. All timbers were harvested by a horse logger from VA. The frame is wrapped with structurally insulated panels, (including the roof) which serves to reduce gas and electricity useage. The utility bills are 40% less than a stick built house. There is also an April air to air exchange system which integrates fresh air into the heating and cooling system for better oxygenation. We are relocating out of state, and regret the fact that we can't take our home with us. With God's will we are going to rebuild another timber frame home in the mountains.
