About this home
Known as Hickory Haven, this remarkable 20.02-acre energy-resilient homestead estate sits at the end of a ¾-mile private driveway surrounded by mature woods, two ponds, orchard plantings, and scenic walking trails. Perfect for possible winery, Air BNB, or BNB!
The Log Plus home is designed for multi-generational living, offering two primary suites on separate levels, four bathrooms, a home office, full walkout basement, and a rare two-room root cellar for food storage. The walkout lower level also includes a home fitness area.
The property features a 48-volt photovoltaic solar system with lithium battery storage, inverter management, and generator backup, professionally installed then maintained by Yoder Solar. Portions of the home remain connected to utility power, creating a flexible hybrid energy system.
Primary heat is supplied by a Crown Royal outdoor wood/coal furnace (2023) with 20-year warranty, located under a 26×24 covered pavilion with concrete slab and electricity, while a high-efficiency IBC propane boiler provides backup heat and domestic hot water.
Water is supplied by a private well with Kinetico Sentry open-air purification, Culligan softener, Pentair pressure tank, and reverse-osmosis drinking stations.
Additional features include a barn with chicken coop and fenced run, pasture for livestock, solar-powered Quonset building, beehives, mini orchard with peach, apple and plum trees, two ponds, woodland trails, bird sanctuary area, Softub hot tub, and wraparound deck underplanted with 2 heritage fragrant lilac bushes.
The property also includes a dedicated ham radio communications room with professionally installed 2-meter antenna, a small caretaker log cabin near the driveway entrance, and a treehouse with professionally constructed base.
