What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
This home does not have a furnace or air conditioning system, yet the geothermal exchange system keeps the house comfortable year round. For those who like extra warmth in the winter months, additional heat can be provided by electric radiant heat, or by a wood burning fireplace. The Solar system feeds the grid and results in NO electric expense and approximately $250+ check per quarter from the electric company.Property Description

Visitors often tell us that our Village has something special, some magic that makes them feel so relaxed, even when they come just for the afternoon. It could be the many buildings filled with character, lovingly preserved and restored to show off our pride in our mid 1800's roots. With it's laid-back charm, it's hard to believe Richmond is only about an hour from Chicago, Rockford or Milwaukee.Location of Home or Land
