The house sits on 4.14 acres and has 2KW of solar panels but is also connected to the Alliant grid. It has Douglas Fir big-beam construction, foot-thick walls, bamboo floor, American Clay walls, radiant heat on both floors, a loft with ladder access and is wired for high speed internet. There are a kitchen, living area, bathroom and loft on the first floor and a large area in the lovely, tiled, basement.

There is sleeping on both floors but the only bathroom is on the ground level floor.
What the owner loves about this home
The house is built with the highest quality materials never found in small homes: Douglas Fir beams, bamboo flooring on the main floor and tile flooring in the basement, foot thick walls and roof with double the insulation of most homes, in-floor radiant heat on both floors, wired for high speed internet. The pastoral ambiance when sitting in the porch swing is fabulous. The wood burning stove on the main floor is charming in the winter and able to heat the whole upstairs. We are currently upgrading and painting the fence. What I love most is that the house and grounds were built rigorously in accord with Maharishi Vastu architecture. That means building in harmony with natural law, taking into consideration, for example, the proper orientation of the house with its entrance facing due east or in some cases, north. This is good because our health, happiness, and well-being are Influenced by the orientation of the buildings we occupy. Published studies support this understanding.
