This is not a home to Drive by – This is a home you must see!!!


This home was custom built by the current owners 18 years ago. Yet the design and Concepts are fashionable today.


The home is energy efficient construction, with 6” walls covered with field stone Averaging 3 to 5 inches, Ceiling blown in with 14” fiberglass.

Currently set up with a 3 car garage door system  and work shop. In additon, the garage is totally insulated and has two exterior doors-on to the side of the home and on to the front. Notice all the built in storage-you will not have to rent extra storage space-have all your belongings/toys with you, the second single door garage is 24x24 and is ready for a wood working shop, wired with its own sub-elecric panel.

The front door has glass and sidelights on each side which are  operational to open for fresh country air.  The home  features a whole house fan to enjoy fresh air.

The covered front deck which blends in the country side is 14X32.  You see no one from this deck – you are in your own world and the lot size is 2.8 acres.The owners/designers have landscaped all around the home with rose bushes, other perennials and many shrubs. The natural stone and landscaping help the home blend  into nature.

There is an outbuilding and storage for wood for the fireplace. There is an R.V. pad and electric and water hook up for company or your own. R.V.


The home was designed and crafted by two artist  who live in the home. One is a furniture maker and one a wood carver.  There is a studio in the home which was designed to be a Third bedroom/office and then the studio but due to their needs it has been left open with and open beam and sliding doors to separate when desired.  One complete garage area has been used for the furniture maker’s haven!


As you come in the front door your eye is drawn to the soaring rock fireplace with its Handcrafted carved wood mantel. This fireplace is freestanding in the middle of the livingarea with windows and doors on three sides of it.  It is a  wood burning  insert with the ashes dumped into a cement valt in a 6 foot crawl space under the great room, and there is gas close by to convert to gas. The fireplace is ducted through out the house, so you can heat with it . The front of the home faces south with a set of Taylor glass French doors opening onto the deck and there is a specially designed transom window system above the doors and room to enhance the cathedral ceiling of this entire area. All windows are Anderson low E. thermal pain.

The kitchen is around the back of the fireplace with 2 pantry cabinets built into the back of the fireplace and custom made cabinets forming a  large U  shaped kitchen. Currently there is an electric stove, but gas is  there  if you want gas. The refrigerator area was designed to recess into the wall so that the refrigerator doesn’t protrude into the room..

The dining area is beautiful with its views, French door to patio area and the builtins across The end of the room with 2 marvelous stained glass windows to enhance the entire room. There is a drawer specially designed in the cabinetry with fold down front.
