This custom-built home uses its surrounding environment and smart design for comfort, beauty, and energy efficacy. The architect, builder, and owner were all committed to a passive solar design for climate control. The walls have six inches of fiberglass insulation and the entire home is wrapped in an additional one inch of styrofoam beneath the siding. The windows are double-paned and the ceiling is double sheet rocked to maintain both heat and cooling. For cloud-covered winter days, a high-quality cast iron wood stove adds sufficient heat to both levels due to the open design, including an opening to the upper level immediately above the wood stove. Brand new stainless steel kitchen appliances were installed in March of 2025. As you make your way upstairs, a quaint landing area centers three bedrooms and one expansive bathroom equipped with a bidet, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a built-in laundry chute...what a dream! This home is water-efficient by design. In addition to an excellent well (100 gallons per minute at drilling), the home is plumbed for greywater. The greywater is permitted and available for irrigating trees. This home is fire-hardened and passed all CalFire inspections. The roof is steel and includes a sprinkler system added to a portion of the roof for additional fire protection. A lush lawn covers the south and west exposures, adding fire protection, cooling, beauty, and recreation. A 15,000-gallon pool is located above the house, offering a large water source and fun in the sun! A gasoline-powered pump with a fire hose and nozzle can tap that resource and easily reach the home. The home is surrounded by 35 acres of rolling hills, sculpted rock gardens, and magnificent trees, affording both quiet and frequent visits by deer, quail, rabbits, turkeys, and multiple bird species. Yosemite National Park is only an hour away. Town and schools can be reached within 15 minutes. As you explore the southern property line, you will find a partial historic cattle ranch fence. Mariposa County is rich with history and good people ready to welcome you home.
