What makes it Green:
Let spectacular vistas open up new horizons while retreating to serenity in the land of mountains and lakes. You'll love hanging your hats in this spacious sustainable strawbale homestead resting above Keuka Lake with a mountain top view.
This bucolic 8 acre published homestead would make an ideal location for a family homestead, B&B, winery, teaching center, medical office, or wellness/nature/spa retreat. Let the winds blow while you smile as your AWP 3.6 meter windmill spins electrons into your homestead.
Liberate yourself from buying global warming increasing energies (coal, gas, and oil) and their geopolitical ramifications; this homestead uses 2/3 less heat thus 2/3 less CO2 pollution. You'll be totally self sufficient in regards to energy and great tasting well water.
A beautiful attached arched greenhouse, countless fruit and nut trees, seedless and seeded grapes (the fruit trees and grapes are bearing, the nut trees require some time), cold hardy kiwi, asparagus beds, and numerous large raised beds allow you to grow your own organic foods.
This homestead was started in 2002 and completed in 2006. It has 12 rooms, 1 office, 2/4 bedrooms, and all 3 levels have sustainably harvested wood floors (cut mainly from storm downed trees). This English estate is a one of a kind with an artisan DNA helix custom built staircase. Old world charm bubbles up with plastered walls and deep inviting windowsills.
Wouldn't you enjoy a sustainable life without electric, water, or sewage bills? The homestead is totally powered by an African Wind Power AWP 3.6 meter rugged windmill, weighing almost 300 pounds. It is a slow r.p.m. windmill as opposed to the majority of high r.p.m. mills which weigh a mere 75-90 pounds. A slower r.p.m. allows more energy in slower winds and much longer bearing and blade lifespan.
How about a romance with the flame? With 2 masonry stoves and 2 woodstoves the home takes only one woodstove to embrace your family with cozy warmth. Two of the stoves are also designed to heat hot water. A solar water heater is used when not burning the woodstove. Passive solar is abundant with a 60' south face providing pleasing natural light and warmth.
The strawbale walls provide a super R-value of 52 (deep windowsills are a bonus). There is also a 2160 sq. ft. attached garage/shop/studio which can accomodate 4 cars if parked in tandem (one 9' x 7' garage door on the 18' wall). The garage measures 18' x 60'. On the second floor above this garage there is also an 18' x 60' room which is accessed by the second floor of the house.
But there's more with a 2-floored guest house (1568 sq. ft.) with its own masonry stove and wood floor. It's rough plumbed for a bath and kitchen and has a 1-car garage. The guest house is electrically wired and partially finished, allowing you to complete the painting with your own imagination. It would require a modest amount of interior finish work to complete it.
Escape and retreat into this English estate style strawbale homestead with its breath taking panoramic views. It is a sanity sanctuary on 8 to 12 chemical free beautiful organic acres with pure air.
PLEASE SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY.
This homestead is located in the Finger Lakes and just off the Wine Trail.
Due to the overwhelming response of green home touring thrill seekers, we unfortunately have had to require a TOTALLY REFUNDABLE TOUR FEE . If you purchase this homestead you will get all of your tour fee back. The tour fee is $70 minimum, even if one person tours it. If more than one, the tour fee is $35/adult and $10/child.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Heating: Homestead and guest house both combust wood at very high temperatures in masonry stoves, used in Europe and Asia for centuries, which produce little pollution from rapid firing and very large thermal mass. Passive solar is abundant with a 60' south face providing pleasing natural light and warmth.
Cooling: Passive cooling compliments of an immense interior thermal mass which consists of 3 floors of strawbale walls and a mega concrete slab (5" concrete and 12" gravel base) which is on the north side attached garage/shop/studio. Just open 2 windows and let the cool breeze flow from the mega slab into the homestead, keeping it cool and comfortable.
Energy Source: Homestead is off grid with its established high quality worry free renewable energy system. It is totally powered by a rugged African Wind Power 3.6 meter windmill, weighing almost 300 pounds on a 100' tall lattice tower. System includes 24 volt battery bank, 2 inverters, and an emergency back-up generator. Water is heated by either a solar hot water heater or one of the masonry stove or wood stove.
Water Source: Private well with pure delicious water requires no water softening, conditioning, or filtration. Water tested for purity. Rain water collection used to water the greenhouse and raised bed garden.
Windows: Windows are vinyl, Low E and argon filled.
Insulation: Natural straw bale insulation with an R-value of R-52 walls and R-56 ceilings from 12\" fiberglass plus 2 layers of AlumaFoil with 3 air gaps.
