Serenity is calling. Country roads and green pastures lead to this custom-built home. Caronwood Estates, still occupied and owned by original designers, is a unique passive solar home nestled in the comforts of nature. Situated on 30+ acres of hardwood forest are nearly 2 acres of outbuildings and gorgeous perennial gardens created by a certified Master Gardener. Multiple gardens surrounding the home feature raised flower and vegetable beds, grapevines, fruit trees and much more. Equipped with passive solar amenity means the sun helps heat the home directly; combined with extra insulation, your electric bills are next to nothing. Before taking you inside, it’s worth mentioning that the house is surrounded by stamped concrete sidewalks, a breezy northern front porch, a large westerly screen porch with storage attic and a beautiful slate terrace with decorative pond on the southside. You are greeted at the entry with high quality Italian tile floors, a custom-built library with natural and recessed lighting, cherry wood bookshelves, and a stunning tile floor; a wide hardwood staircase leading to three bedrooms with additional study/nursery.
