Located at the end of a curved and beautifully landscaped drive, the 2012 custom-built home was designed with high energy-efficiency and ease of maintenance in mind. Constructed with "poly-steel" reinforced concrete and expanded polystyrene and galvanized steel with 6" to 8" insulated walls it also features twelve 135-watt solar panels that supplement the electrical service, double-pane windows and a whole-house attic fan.
Once you step onto the rear deck amid the colorful sun-loving geraniums, it's hard to step over the threshold into the house as the view of the land, the grazing horses, and the mountains beyond capture your attention and nearly persuade you to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Fortunately, once you enter the house you may still enjoy the amazing view from the light-filled, eastern facing, sun room with large windows on three sides.
The sun room leads into the living room with its tray ceiling, oak hardwood flooring, and Vermont Castings wood stove with a Magic Heat blower/heat "reclaimer", which creates a warm and cozy environment during the colder days of the year. The electric vent fans above the stove pull the warm air and redistributes it to the bathroom and the lower level. Directly off of the living room is a half bath and a large kitchen with a dining nook overlooking the porch and view beyond. From the kitchen, there is an enclosed porch/mudroom area to leave outdoor gear before heading inside with access to the driveway.
The Master Bedroom is located on the main level and features a spacious bathroom with a large vanity, plenty of storage and a soaking tub. There is a separate area for the commode and walk-in shower. The 5' x 8' master closet is adjacent to the bathroom and has double hanging and shelving.
Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom with a claw foot bathtub and storage areas. Cedar closets may also be found throughout the house.
The lower level provides a live-in suite with French door walk-out access if desired. It has a large living area, kitchenette complete with a porcelain sink, gas range and a bedroom and bath. The remaining lower level contains the laundry area, mechanical closet with water heater, water softener/filter, solar tank and storage space. Throughout the house, ports to the central vacuum system may be found which makes cleaning a breeze.
A short distance from the house and just past the raised-bed garden is a 420 SF oak wood-floored studio space which has electric, gas heat and water rough-in. The eastern-facing windows provide an amazing view of the pasture and the mountains beyond. This space could easily be converted into a guest cottage. This structure is built over a basement/cellar which is ideal for storage.
Just behind the house is the greenhouse, which has electric and water making it easy to start seedlings and care for plants. A variety of other outbuildings complete the picturesque setting to include a hen house and wood shed.
The variety of terrain on this property affords a diverse range of recreational uses from ATV riding, hiking, birdwatching, and horseback riding. Another unique feature of this property is its very own access to the Culverson Creek Cave (by way of the "Wildcat Entrance"). A one-acre parcel of the property was deeded to the West Virginia Cave Conservancy but access is unlimited to the owners of the property. The property is mostly fence making it perfect for horses (or other animals.)
