All day sun shines on this very well thought out eco-home and micro-farm. Located in the desirable Rolling Bay area, this unique 1,800 square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2 ½-bath modern farmhouse is offered at $1,300,000.

The house is intentionally laid out to allow meaningful passive solar gain to comfortably warm the house even when the sun might not be at its brightest. An eight-kilowatt photovoltaic solar installation covers half of the annual electric bill. A solar collector even helps with hot water. Well-insulated to keep the house warm when the sun is cooperating. And, when it’s not, an efficient Scan woodstove provides enough heat to warm the entire house.

Featuring Gold LEED certification and a Built Green 5-Star Certificate of Merit, every part of the house was designed with sustainability, efficiency, and effectiveness in mind. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms feature individual heaters to keep you comfortable when you’re using the rooms without forcing you to heat them when you’re not. On the ground floor, a radiant in-floor heating system provides the ultimate cool-weather treat: waking up to a warm floor.

The living area is centered around the fully electric kitchen featuring a Samsung induction range/convection oven, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and dual-drawer dishwasher. Paperstone countertops provide a great work area for meal prep. A large double sink faces the patio and garden. Storage is plentiful enough for even the most demanding home chef. The dining room is surrounded by windows with a view to the gardens and the resident wild birds. The living room features sunset views and sizeable built-in bookshelves flanking the Scan woodstove. A media room off the living room has plenty of space for relaxing and serves as the network hub for the property.

Situated on over three quarters of an acre the property features an extremely large garden supported by a 200 square-foot greenhouse, a berry patch of strawberries and raspberries, a vineyard with wine and table grapes, and an orchard of blueberries, apples, cherries, figs, plums, and peaches. There’s also plenty of room for chickens.
