This house is built for taller people. Owner is 6’4”, so he had the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities all set higher than a typical home.
In the process of cutting the half mile-long driveway, they hit a major spring which produces approx. 20,000 gallons per day. The water is screen filtered and collected in a cistern buried inside the 22ft x 16ft cinder block spring house. It is then pumped to another cistern at a higher elevation where it is gravity fed to the house. A booster pump kicks on when the demand is high, such as turning on the shower.

- Woodstock soapstone wood burning stove
- Spring water (the spring produces approx. 20,000g/day)
