The most remarkable home on nearly 30 pristine acres of wooded privacy, built with sustainability at the center of its design is a timber frame home designed and handcrafted by David Yasenchack. Please check out www.dytimberframing.com to see the entire building process. The exterior walls are straw bales covered with a clay plaster and then a lime plaster. It contains cherry, walnut, red oak, white oak, yellow locust and recycled Douglas fir. The ceilings are tulip poplar, Indiana’s state tree. Much of the woodwork, cabinet doors, and timbers on the porch are from trees cut from this and the neighboring property. There is a tranquil pond with a dock that can be admired from the large windows in the winter. Walk the meandering path in the summer to enjoy the frogs, turtles and cat tails as well as tend your lovely garden area. The timber on the property has been enrolled in the Forest Bank Program, managed by the Nature Conservancy of Indiana. This provides annual income to the homeowner and sustainably manages the land, promoting reforestation. There is an additional 1 bedroom/1bath small cabin on the property for additional living space, as well as a full, unfinished walkout basement, which has a rough-in for a third full bath and enough windows to easily add two additional bedrooms. The property crosses the Clark and Washington county lines and is cross listed in both counties (MLS 202408414).
