Wonderfully warm and cozy in winter.
Bathed in northern sunshine and light.
Naturally cool during hot summer days.
Cross flow breezes.

This delightfully low maintenance home encourages you to lead a simple, more natural way of life.
Follow the seasons and forage from the veggie and fruit garden. Re-learn the art of cooking on the beautiful Esse wood stove.

During winter rains, soak in the pure, free luxury of daily hot baths. The water tanks are overflowing and are heated from the wood stoves wet back / solar. There is also an electric element backup when needed .
