Solid wood door with sidelights- tongue and groove beadboard with recessed LED lighting
West facing porch- peaceful swing offering stunning sunsets as well as abundant wildlife such as deer, turkey, birds and hawks.

Description

Back on the market- Contract fell through due to buyer failing to perform and no fault of seller or the house. Most unique house you will see! A special find for anyone looking to have a eco- friendly home with low utility bills surrounded by beautiful scenery. Only 20 minutes from Nashville and minutes from the intestate is a home surrounded by 30 beautiful wooded acres. This house is solid insulated concrete form ( ICF) construction upstairs & downstairs, large spray foam insulated attic, & gold green certified. Heating & cooling is down to a minimum thanks to the passive solar design of the house, but when you do need to heat or cool the home the geothermal unit is very energy efficient. The house can also be heated with a wood stove. The windows on the south exposure allow so much light in! In 2012 MIT studied this home, finding it to be the best insulated home in their study. No water bill thanks to the well. The property is 30 acres of atv trails and wildlife & spring fed pond. The decks are solid concrete & perfect for gathering or watching wildlife. Large shop & tractor shed!
