The House: |
Built in 2007, this house was designed and built for energy |
efficiency while leveraging the cozy feel of natural |
materials. |
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) jacketed by reclaimed |
logs give the walls incredible insulation and a rustic look. |
The positioning and roof overhangs allow for passive solar |
gain in the winter and shade in the summer. |
Heat comes from 2 wood stoves and in-floor heat run by a |
propane boiler. Wired for baseboard heaters. |
Upstairs there are 4 large bedrooms. The master overlooks |
the garden to the north and has an ensuite bathroom. There |
is a second full bathroom upstairs and also a family room |
that overlooks the workshop to the south. |
Downstairs there is a bathroom/utility room, office/guest |
room, custom kitchen, open-concept living & dining room, & |
den. |
Floors throughout are surfaced with wide white pine and |
tile; ceilings are faced with tongue & grove pine. |
The brick-encased chimney in the center of the house serves |
as a radiant "heat sink" when the main soapstone stove is |
going, & the closet behind it in the utility/bathroom |
serves as an excellent warm place to proof bread dough and |
make ferments. |
Stone walls built from local river rocks border the shop |
and the north side of the house. |
The Land: |
The acreage is quiet, protected, & at the end of the |
municipal road, bordered by farmland. |
Lots to explore! The mixed forest is perfect for people who |
love to ski, snowshoe, and get outside. Out back we've been |
nurturing a white pine plantation planted by our neighbour |
in the 1970s in an effort to re-establish these magnificent |
trees. There are also maples, birch & red pine, a small |
creek, & a healthy animal ecosystem. |
This land is well protected from development, is quiet & |
secluded while also being within minutes of Hwy 50. |
The land is zoned "white" meaning it is open for |
agriculture or residential use. The road is maintained by |
the municipality so the homestead benefits from school bus, |
snow removal, & garbage/recycling services. |
We brought in good soil for a productive garden & there is |
ample room to expand it. |
The land is amazingly quiet & rustic yet is within striking |
distance to major centres. |
The Workshop: |
The strawbale construction & passive solar windows give |
this 1500sq' workshop incredible heat retention & inspiring |
energy. |
The floor is polished cement for easy cleaning & is piped |
ready for in-floor heating though a boiler has yet to be |
installed. |
The water from the well runs into the workshop & then runs |
underground to the house. The workshop has running water, a |
bathroom & its own septic. Loft for storage & a separate |
heated room for finishing/storage. |
