This is the sweetest fairytale-like strawbale home located on 30 acres in Durham. For people in the know, strawbale homes are revered for their energy efficiency and beauty. The home is completely independent as an off-grid home with Solar panels, a generator, as well as propane and wood heat stoves available. The craftsmanship on this home is stunning. The design of the windows and dormers is dreamy and so well done. The home is 1559 sq ft over two floors with a 775 sq ft full height, awesome walk-out basement. All 3 bedrooms are a generous size with great closet and storage space. There is one large bathroom on the second floor with a sweet tub and space on the 1st floor for a second bathroom. The owners installed the most beautiful wide plank floors and just installed a newly rebuilt deck. There is a drilled well and septic that were installed when the property was built. You will not believe the incredibly high quality post and beam barn and shed on the property. So gorgeous and so special!
