"Lock it and leave it." This home was designed for people with grown children (it has a self-contained suite in the basement for boomerang children or visitors) who are not always home. There is no lawn to mow and the indigenous plants do not require watering. You can lock this home and go travelling with no worries. Features too many to mention make this home a truly one of a kind. This south western style home has been featured in several magazines (check out the link below) as well as featured on two home tours.
The house features dovetail and chinked log construction, authentic Mexican tile work, copper accents, handmade doors, custom-made cabinetry modeled after antiques, burnished American clay walls and antique wood beams and flooring and other trim milled from historic structures that once dotted the countryside around Salmon Arm. Visitors often remark that it is like being inside a piece of artwork.
Nine foot ceilings throughout with the living room having a 14-foot ceiling, as well as sun tunnels and clerestories makes this home very light.
The home also has many "green" features such as:
•1,000 sq ft main floor footprint (and three stories for more efficient heating)
•Low E glass in windows
•Douglas fir logs harvested from the Revelstoke forest fire
•1/16th-acre, 3/1 hillside lot that was unusable for agriculture
•Recycled barn wood used for beams, baseboards and wide plank flooring
•Natural wool insulation between the logs and Roxul mineral wool batts for attic and frame walls
•Tung oil/citrus oil interior finish and Penefin (made from Rosewood nuts) exterior
•European-style dual flush toilets, acrylic claw foot tub (less energy to heat), Delta 1.85 gal/min shower heads in double shower with window in shower to limit use of the bathroom fan
•High-velocity Unico electric back-up heating system with return air fan
•High-efficiency Australian Pinnacle wood heater with baking oven
•Use of indigenous plants to landscape hillside lot, rather than a water-wasting lawn
