What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Because my wife has MCS we built it using all natural materials. The floors are oak and/or ceramic tile. The walls and ceilings are all real wood and AMF sealed. We used natural cotton insulation in all the buildings as well. The well provides great water at 15+gal/min with no iron/sulfur. We have a water softener for the limestone as well as a reverse osmosis system.
No industry or agriculture around for miles.Property Description
very private and quiet location built on top of a hill with lovely mountain view of the Smokies. 800 ft rather steep driveway helps to ensure our privacy. There is a main building that has 1 Bedroom + Kitchen and Bathroom that is approx. 16x35. There are two other 12x24 solid wood buildings built by local Mennonites which each have 1 BR plus a living room(or office/storage etc. One of these has a nice screened porch/deck that looks directly at the mountains. We brought up topsoil for raised bed gardens and there is also a small cold frame. lots of hickory and black walnuts around too. There is a 10x14 metal storage shed and also a workshop attached to the main building.Neighborhood Description
