This home has been beautifully landscaped. The local ferns that grow wild in the forest around her make for a beautiful backdrop to the cordwood walls. The annual flowers add a touch of color and beauty to the well-maintained cordwood home.

An outdoor porch with a comfortable couch. The fabric is waterproof and will handle the morning dew, a rain, or snowstorm. This allows the owner/builders to use the large overhangs to protect their outside sitting area from the elements.

Drive in the blacktop driveway without having to back up! This circle driveway makes for the perfect drop off and delivery point. The garage is right next to the large 2 1/2 car garage and workshop.

What a beautiful place to relax and refresh. The rocks, the wood, the brilliant bottles and the large windows make it feel like you are one step away from the great outdoors. The floors have radiant infloor heat and the home stays toasty in the winter and cool in the summer.

Take a gander at the tree, the circle, and the Big Dipper that light up with an LED set of lights. The bottles glow when it is dark!

A beautiful view from the kitchen table. Great place for family gatherings and a huge table to discuss building plans or hunting/fishing trips for the folks who love the out of doors.

The rainbow Brilliant Bottles also light up at night with LED’s.

The two-car garage offers a place to unload the groceries when the weather is not cooperating.

The Big Dipper, a rainbow, a tree and a flower are all able to be turned on at night.

The kitchen is well-appointed and functional. Local cabinet makers were employed to build the beautiful cabinets and a nearby granite slab countertop company proved the gorgeous surfaces.s s
