N8363 Onota Hill Ln Deerton, MI 49822

Tucked in, and situated on Onota Hill, you are surrounded by 15 acres of pristine woodlands including maple, beech, oak, birch, ironwood and pine. Blending seamlessly into its surroundings, this home is the definition of sustainability. A 10 kW wind turbine, that is utility grid-tied, provides enough energy to power the entire home, making it a Net Zero home (producing as much energy as it consumes). In fact, it was awarded a ZeroEnergy Hero Award by the Green Home Institute. Structural Insulated Panel's (SIPs), thermal siding, triple pane energy efficient windows, and a metal roof insulated with Icynene give the home an impenetrable barrier from U.P. winters. The saltbox style, with its southern exposure, creates generous natural light and allows the sun to help heat the home. The primary heat is in-floor radiant provided by an air-to-water heat pump, while a Tulikivi masonry heater in the living area provides supplemental heat if desired. The main floor has a south facing bedroom with a reading nook, a full bathroom with custom vessel sink and pedestal. The toilets, faucet aerators, shower head, and front loading washer are all water conserving. Up a wooden staircase with copper spindles, you find a loft style family room that is open to the living area below and shares in its natural light. The master suite has dual closets and a spacious bathroom with an extra long fiberglass clawfoot tub. The laundry room, just off the master bath, has an ozone generator which allows clothes to be washed in cold water without detergent. A surprise 3rd story study is up a ladder and across an open catwalk. When the leaves are off the trees, you can see Lake Superior through the east-facing windows! The attached 3 car garage is equipped with a charging station for an electric vehicle, all powered by the wind. This home highlights a mix of recycled materials and modern efficiency elements. If you'd like to reduce your carbon footprint and eliminate utility bills, this home was built for you.
