Upon entering this exquisite residence, one is greeted by the elegance of ash hardwood flooring, while solid quartersawn oak doors and trim accentuate its beauty. This unique home stands as a testament to unparalleled artisan craftsmanship, a rare gem in homes constructed on this side of the 20th century. Meticulously designed exclusively for this location, its timeless design and handcrafted details seamlessly blend into the panoramic hilltops and lush wooded valleys. This residence offers a bespoke fusion of modern homebuilding techniques with the traditional commitment to quality craftsmanship.

The kitchen, adorned with granite countertops and a pantry, along with the living room, dining room, and office, frame panoramic vistas that overlook the sprawling acreage to the south. Upstairs, the home boasts a master bedroom with a private balcony, a spacious walk-in closet, and a master bathroom featuring porcelain tile flooring, a walk-in shower, a heated towel rack, and a marble vanity top. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom with a shower over a tub arrangement, complemented by a convenient laundry area. The heated floors in the two upstairs bathrooms and the main floor mudroom entrance showcase the meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the property.

This home exemplifies exceptional energy efficiency, with 4 inches of insulation enveloping all exterior walls and the basement foundation. The basement's in-floor heating system, though currently unconnected to a heat source, circulates through most of the basement floor. One section of the basement was intentionally designed without in-floor heating to serve as a cool storage area.

For those with a passion for sustainability, this property is a model of energy-conscious living. Both the home and the workshop/garage are heated and cooled using electricity, supplemented by a 12.5kW solar panel system that feeds surplus electricity back into the grid. This results in utility bills of less than $300 per month during the coldest months, and free electricity during the warmer months. The home's triple-pane windows, featuring a heat gain coating, facilitate significant heat retention in winter, while strategically positioned overhangs provide shade, minimizing solar heat gain throughout most of the day in summer.

A remarkable addition to the property is the 96 x 40 finished workshop/garage, equipped with in-floor heating for most of its area, split heating and cooling units, a generously high ceiling (12' 10"), and a substantial 10 high x 12 wide front garage door. It also boasts a rainwater collection system and a UV purification light, making it an exceptional space that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

The 60 x 40 shed, with its gravel floor, lends itself perfectly to various uses, potentially making it an ideal space for horse enthusiasts.

Other distinctive features of this property include a fresh air system within the home, a 620 deep well with a constant pressure pump, a spacious garden area, direct access to snowmobile trails in the valley, and a commanding ridgetop location offering breathtaking views throughout every season.
