The property features a Deltec Net Zero round house (Deltechomes.com), single story, no step home with garage. Green built, in both materials and design, starts with the permeable paver driveway which filters storm water before going into Lake Laura. The house design provides high wind protection and highlights passive solar heating, 6-inch energy efficient walls with rock mineral insulation, energy star efficient windows/doors, along with non-toxic sustainable building materials used throughout. The framing is mold resistant with panels built in the factory to maintain quality control. The round house has an artisan's studio space in a windowed, walkout basement (400 sq ft) with encapsulated crawl space. The round house has a 360-degree deck, with screened in porch, and a detached garage with space for one car and for a workshop (400 sq ft.). The house, basement, and garage are heated and cooled by mini splits. The metal shingle roof has a 50-year warranty. The design focuses on the natural environment inside and out. The paint colors are based on sunrises and sunsets. The interior has vaulted wooden ceilings, with cork flooring throughout great room, 2 bedrooms, pantry, and office. The sustainable cork flooring is warmer, quieter, and easier on joints than hardwood floors. The great room has 180 degrees of views and a central chef's kitchen, with a pass-through pantry, dining area, fireplace/sitting area, and sitting/tv/reading area completing half of the round. The remaining half round has two bedrooms, office, walk in closets, and mudroom/laundry. The laundry/mudroom has tile floor and two bathrooms have heated tile floors. Sun tunnels and windows bathe the interior in natural light. There are custom built ins throughout, built by a local craftsman, and custom tiles handcrafted by a nationally honored tile artist.

There are raised beds for vegetable gardening and landscaping that supports pollinators, critters, and insects. There is a lake side bench for enjoying the outdoors with a spot for deploying a kayak. The house view toward Lake Laura gives the feel of living in a tree house. Truly a home for all seasons.
