Here's a rare find: end-of-the-road privacy paired with one of the few Energy Star rated homes in the Rondout Valley. The 6800-watt solar array and geothermal systems that power the home mean that there's never a need to buy oil or propane, and electric bills have averaged just $60 per month. Triple glazed windows and extensive insulation mean that heating and cooling stay inside, contributing to the overall efficiency of this beautiful home. The arts and crafts movement inspires the design and details, yet the floor plan and flow are decidedly modern. Kitchen, living and dining areas are seamlessly integrated, and beautifully adorned 64,000 BTU fireplace/wood stove is yet another inexpensive source of heat. Second floor bedrooms open to the library and family room, easily converted into another bedroom suite. Screened porch off of the kitchen is a great place to feel the breeze, and outdoor fire-pit and fenced, organic vegetable garden backup generator add to the self-contained nature of this peaceful property. Trails through the woods area an awesome place to amble, and who doesn't love an outdoor shower? Covered carport mimics the house's aesthetic, and multiple sheds provide ample storage beyond the space in the full basement.
