At the heart of the property is a custom designed, intentionally low-profile, PASSIVE SOLAR home that is congruous with the landscape. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered - from the initial siting of the home to its carefully planned interior layout - to minimize energy loss and maximize sustainability. A tasteful cantilevered roof incorporating the strength and durability of Douglas Fir Glulam beams, helps mitigate unwanted solar gain while inviting the warm winter light. South-facing double-glazed windows capture the winter sun’s warmth, while the concrete floor with thermal mass stores and radiates heat in the winter and coolness in the summer.
Designed with the future in mind, the home is wired for off-grid living yet currently benefits from a microFIT Program, generating income for the next 10 years. The overhang roof is ‘green roof ready,’ complete with the necessary structural capacity, waterproofing, root barriers, and drainage systems, offering an eco-conscious touch to this extraordinary residence.
Throughout, a neutral, organic palette merges with clean lines, deepening the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. Windows line the south facing wall, illuminating the floor with ample natural light while blending the lines between inside and out. The open concept living space allows for gatherings of family and friends by the fire in the winter or onto the adjoining deck in the warmer months to be spellbound by what nature has to offer.
The primary suite is a true retreat, overlooking the landscape and featuring a well appointed ensuite designed for comfort. A spacious dressing room and an outdoor shower to enjoy on your own private oasis. Every bedroom offers stunning views, ensuring a constant immersion in tranquility and peace.
A second residence on the property provides additional living space, featuring three bedrooms, one bath, and an open-concept layout - perfect for extended family or rental income.
Adding to the estate’s rich history, the remnants of the original 1800s barn now serve as a cherished gathering place. Picture long family-style meals under the open sky, laughter around the campfire, and perhaps even a wedding celebration - this property has been a labour of love.
With a Managed Forest Plan, Wetland Conservation Registration and agricultural leased farmland offering tax benefits, this estate is as practical as it is extraordinary.
