Street View
The house sits on a hill on the other side of a creek from the street. In summer, it is completely private.
Western Side of house
A firepit near the creek makes for a nice summer evening. Trails are cut
throughout the property, and kids love discovering the white-tailed
deer antlers.

|
Southern Side of house
The southern wall faces true-south (not magnetic south) and is full of glass to let in the sun on cold winter
days. Other passive solar features of the house include tile
flooring and a tromb wall. Even on the coldest Minnesota winter
days, the sun can keep the Great Room toasty warm.
On cloudy days, the wood-burning
fireplace keeps the house warm and cozy.
|
Eastern Side of house
To the south of the house is a nice flat back yard beside a 50' patio under
the deck. Prairie flowers bloom on the hillside all
summer long.
Room to grow - the deck hanger outside the dining room would be a good place to add a screened porch. |
Other views of the property
East of the garage is a 30' x 30' raised-bed vegetable garden with 5
drip-irrigation zones. Mature plantings include an asparagus bed,
perennial herbs, and blueberry bushes.

A 50' deck extends the length of the south
side of the house. An awning provides shade from the sun for
summertime dinners outside.

Views from the house across the countryside
Wonderful 360-degree countryside views from all windows in the house. Gorgeous both summer and winter. Wildlife includes deer, mink, rabbits, turtles, coyotes, pheasants, herons, and eagles.
