What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
"Form tech" styrofoam filled with concrete create 1-foot thick walls & efficient heating & cooling. A "Pro Cooler" assists in keeping the home cool even on a hot summer day in Redding. The living area's woodstove uses 1-2 cords of wood per year. The home's vent system can draft either cool air/warm air into the rooms thereby reducing overall energy use & open windows. Extra low e vinyl windows let the view in but minimize air transfer. Radiant heat flooring under the concrete floors is controled in 3 separate zones & ceiling fans help with airflow. Radiant roof sheeting reverses sun penetration and roof vents help to remove the hot attic air. Near the shop area a panel solar system feeds from the sun & then stores in the covered battery area. If the computer says, "Get a move on", the 2 1/2 watt diesel generator kicks on so that the home continually has electricity with this 48 volt system. The computer also controls how much water is pumped into the 2500-gallon cistern by the well pump, approx. 15 gal/min. A propane hot water heater is governed by a timed recirculating pump. 4 separate electrical circuits are housed in conduit in the large shop avoiding power equipment overloads, including a welder's area. CAT-5 wire, 2 natural tube lights, & timed sprinklers for the back lawn also help our environment.Property Description
Setting on 40 viewed acres of the Mt Lassen & adjoing mountain ranges, this home is located about 5 miles from Shasta College & only 7 miles from Simpson University. Its end of the road privacy affords hiking, horseback riding, and traveling wildlife such as turkey and deer. Setting atop a knoll on level to rolling acreage, this home's split floorplan atop heated stained concrete floors, offers a private master area with sitting area, walk-in closet & a doorless or curtainless tiled shower. The adjoining large U-shaped kitchen features tiled countertops and plenty of workspace, directly across from a viewed eating area. Upon entering this home through the hand hewed thick wood door with handmade iron door furniture, you'll step into a large living area under a peaked ceiling with fabulous views of Mt Lassen & the surround rolling hills that are covered by oaks, grey pines, and native shrubs. Handpicked smooth rocks with a thick wood mantle were chosen for the woodstove's hearth. Natural light illuminates the hall leading to 3 more bedrooms & a large cozy family room that provides large, additional walk-in storage. A half bath shows off a hand made sink; the large inside laundry room features a handcrafted tin sink under tile counters. The arena area is visible from the home & from the southeast facing backyard. A 25 X 30 shop also acts as a garage. It has roll up doors at each end along with adequate light panels on the north side and "plumbing" for a wood stove. A small equip/tack building is located near the power center.
