THIS IS THE SECOND HOME THAT WE HAVE BUILT FOR OURSELVES. IT IS LOCATED 3.7 MILES SOUTH OF LEWISTOWN ON CASTLE BUTTE ROAD. THE ROAD IS PAVED ALL THE WAY EXCEPT THE LAST 1000' OR SO OF THE COUNTY ROAD. OUR PRIVATE ROAD IS ABOUT 2000' LONG, WITH A FINE GRAVEL TOP, GOOD DRAINAGE AND SOME TREES ON BOTH SIDES. THE PROPERTY TOTALS 20.7+/- ACRES. THERE ARE 12 ACRES IN HAY, 2 AROUND THE HOUSE AND SHOP AND THE REST IS COVERED WITH PINE AND FIR TREES. WE BUILT THE HOME IN 1993 AND IT HAS 2250+/- SQUARE FEET ON EACH LEVEL. THE HOME IS CONFIGURED IN THIS MANOR: 3 BEDROOMS UP, 2 DOWN; 2 1/2 BATHS UP, 1 DOWN; THE MAIN FLOOR ALSO HAS A LARGE COUNTY KITCHEN WITH EATING AREA; FORMAL DINING ROOM; LARGE LIVING ROOM WITH BAY WINDOW, GAS FIREPLACE, BUILT IN ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND BOOK CASE; THERE ARE VAULTED CEDAR CEILINGS IN ALL OF THESE ROOMS AS WELL AS THE MAIN ENTRY, INCLUDING 4 SKYLIGHTS; THERE IS A LAUNDRY ROOM OFF THE ENTRY INTO THE HEATED DOUBLE GARAGE AND ANOTHER ENTRY TO THE BACK YARD. THE 1/2 BATH/MUDROOM IS LOCATED JUST AS YOU COME INTO THE HOME FROM THE GARAGE. THERE IS AN ENTRY OFF THE DINING ROOM TO A LARGE COVERED REDWOOD DECK, THAT WRAPS AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOME. THE FLOORING IN THE LAUNDRY, KITCHEN, 1/2 BATH, ENTRY WAYS AND MASTER BATH ARE ALL TILE. THE REST OF THE FLOORS ARE COVERED WITH CARPET EXCEPT THE STORAGE AREAS, CRAFT AND MECHANICAL ROOMS. ALL OF THE CARPET HAS BEEN CHANGED OUT SINCE WE BUILT THE HOME. THE STAIR CASE TO THE LOWER LEVEL IS OPEN AND OVERLOOKS A SMALL ATRIUM. THE LOWER LEVEL HAS 2 BEDROOMS, WITH A WALK IN CLOSET; 1 BATHROOM; A LARGE STORE ROOM; AN OFFICE; A CRAFT ROOM; AND A VERY LARGE REC ROOM WITH A BUILT IN WET BAR, BUILT IN BOOK CASE AND GROUND LEVEL ENTRY TO A COVERED PATIO. OUR HOME IS HEATED BY NATURAL GAS USING BASEBOARD HOT WATER HEAT. THE HOME IS SUPERINSULATED WITH R-48 INSULATION IN THE CEILINGS AND R-22 IN THE WALLS, USING OFFSET STUD CONSTRUCTION. WE ALSO HAVE UNDERGROUND AIR COOLING. THAT MEANS THAT WE USE THE EARTHS' CONSTANT 58 DEGREE TEMPERATURE AT 9' BELOW THE SURFACE TO COOL OUR HOME. WE HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL OF THE COUNTERTOPS WITH SOLID SURFACE TOPS AND BUILT IN SINKS. THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN REPAINTED WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME IS MOSTLY BRICK BELOW LIFETIME SIDING ON THE UPPER AREAS. THE ROOF WILL BE STRIPPED AND REDONE THIS SPRING. THE LARGE FINISHED SHOP COVERS 3200+/- SQUARE FEET, WITH 1800 SQUARE FEET BEING HEATED. THERE ARE 3 SEPARATE AREAS INCLUDING A 1/2 BATH IN ONE. THE LARGE EAST END OF THE SHOP WILL ACCOMODATE A 45' MOTOR HOME AND HAS A BUILT IN DUMP STATION. WE HAVE 2 WATER SYSTEMS: ONE IS THE ORIGINAL 400' DEEP WELL AND THE OTHER IS A 4000 GALLON CISTERN. THE WELL IS CURRENTLY USED FOR ALL THE UNDERGROUND SPRINKLERS IN THE LAWN AND GARDEN. THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND SHOP ARE SUPPLIED BY THE CISTERN. WE ELECTED TO PUT IN THE CISTERN 6 YEARS AGO TO USE LEWISTOWN WATER. LEWISTOWN HAS THE WORLDS' 4TH LARGEST COLD WATER SPRING AND THE WATER IS 99.999 PERCENT PURE. LEWISTOWN WATER DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY CHLORINE. BY TURNING A FEW VALVES THE HOME CAN BE PUT BACK ON WELL WATER. WE HAUL WATER OURSELVES WITH OUR MONTLY WATER COSTS BEING $2 TO $3. THERE IS LOCAL DELIVERY AVAILABLE IF ONE WOULD SO CHOSE. I USE A 450 GALLON WATER TANK TO HAUL THE WATER AND IT IS INCLUDED WTIH THE HOME. WE HAVE FIBER OPTIC TO OUR HOME, SO THERE IS CABLE TV, PHONE AND HIGH SPEED INTERNET AVAILABLE. THE LARGEST MONTHLY GAS BILL WE HAVE EVER HAD IS $149.00. THAT INCLUDES HEATING THE HOUSE AND SHOP, OVER 6000 SQUARE FEET OF HEATED AREAS. WE HAVE REDUCED THE ORIGINAL ASKING PRICE OF $719,000 TO THE CURRENT PRICE.
