73 Goodman Rd., Asheville, NC 28804

Built by a man with a vision of lowering his carbon footprint and with a close affinity to nature, this outstanding small house looms large. From its unusual pebbledash exterior to its native plantings, this is a home that must be understood and admired. Filled with light, it welcomes those who visit and reminds us that great things come in well thought out packages. For the thrifty minded, the bonus is an exceedingly low power bill, for this home has not only solar panels, but the batteries to store energy for a cloudy day. The large back deck hovers in the trees and songbirds flit and call. The mountain view reminds you that you are in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but your odometer will tell you that you are only miles from Asheville restaurants, concerts and fun.
