This makes real estate fun! Touring this 20 acre farm/garden solar home, every corner turned, every path to another spot widens your smile. Enjoy what's there now & what your imprint will bring. Designed by local architect & passionate advocate for sustainable living Giles Blunden. Giles was the driving force behind communities Arcadia & Pacifica, & 245 Marks Lane exudes the same energy in a rural setting. Radiant floors are solar with a Rennai backup. Primary heat source is a heat pump. Solatube skylights illuminate even on cloudy days. Custom cabinetry & woodwork are flame maple and cherry. Thanks to the Biden infrastructure bill, high speed internet is available. The separate atelier will bring out the latent Cezanne in you. There is a garage door & deck for your plein air pursuits, ventilator to keep fumes & dust at bay,mini split for heating & cooling & a WC to keep interruptions brief. The twenty acres features multiple pastures, a four stall barn with 140 bale storage, three run in sheds, an aviary, a tractor shed & more. The koi pond/plunge pool is a delightful focal point by the stone patio, set off by graceful evergreens & Japanese maples. The separate 2.5 acre pond (split with a neighbor) has a dock & is stocked for catch & release. An artificial stream among a fern glade cascades into the pond. Approx half the land is deer fenced (there may be a tree or two on the fence at the moment) to prevent gardening frustrations. If hosting nomads, there is a 30 amp RV hookup & tank connection. Come see this amazing property!
