House is nestled in on the point, both overlooking the lake, the dam, and the national forest, and surrounded by tasteful landscaping designed by Sonya Garland.

Open floorpan throughout but still feels cozy with the wood beams, warm cabinetry, and various living areas and flex space to cater to changing needs. Built-in sound system throughout the house. Primary bedroom and laundry on main floor, designed for retirement.
Enjoy virtually “free heat” via radiant floor heating throughout is served by solar thermal panels that provide all of the heat and hot water for the house.

So much so, that the hot water overflow goes to the entire basement floor, keeping that level dry in the summer and warm in the winter. This makes it very comfortable for anyone working on hobbies or projects year-round. There is also a 500 gal propane tank and boiler as a backup for the heat, fireplaces, stovetop and grill connection on the deck.
This home has solar photovoltaic (PV) panels that provide electricity, as well as a brand new Tesla PW3 battery (with 13.6KWH capacity) that powers the emergency panel, (which is charged by the grid when the utility power is on, and the solar PV system when it is off.) 4 electrical panels in the house w/ one serving as an “emergency” panel that is connected to the battery (running the controls to the house, some lights, some items in the kitchen, and the home theatre.)

This net-zero home is complete with an electric vehicle charger in the garage, making it virtually free to travel to/from your mountain retreat.
