This Artisan all natural home features natural adobe and fine hand finished natural plasters inside and out giving this home a gorgeous southwestern quality that is a work of art. It has been featured in 2 books (The New Strawbale Home & Natural Timber Frame Homes) as well as being showcased in a feature article in Timber Frame Homes Magazine. Strawbale/Straw-Clay exterior walls envelop a beautiful hand crafted White Oak Timber Frame sourced sustainably from Ohio Amish Farms in the pure old world tradition. All natural construction methods utilized the most energy efficient and non-toxic materials available. Along with intelligent passive solar design this healthy home is amazingly comfortable and efficient year round with very low energy needs. The yard has been well developed and cared for with 25 years worth of carefully crafted hardscaping and abundant flower and vegetable gardens. Outdoor living was always an important aspect of the design with a spacious wrap around flagstone patio featuring plenty of space for family and friends. The patio was built within a beautiful rock retaining wall, built by a master stone mason.
