New TiltN Clean gutters so you can clean your gutters from the ground! Bright - Open format house updated to be family friendly, very quite, efficient, easy to clean and maintain. Walkout basement ideal for the barn/kids/space for crafts. Office/Studio/Pool House - facility expanded in 2000, it has served as a playhouse/swimming pool house for our daughters and their friends. The 2000 expansion added first floor office space, second floor studio, the high efficiency gas forced air and air conditioning,ceiling fans/lights, unique wood floors, skylights and more. The walls are insulated with fiberglass covered with one inch silver sided Celotex with taped joints. 1x4s were run in horizontally to serve as a raceway for the wiring. 2x4s were place vertically for drywall application, the creation of an airspace to increase insulation, and serve to mount the utility boxes such that they don't penetrate the insulation.The 15 above ground swimming pool had a new liner installed for 2004. The pool is bordered by 200+ sq ft of Trex deck. A solar heater extends the swimming season. A Jacuzzi filter and chemical dispenser reduce the need for pool maintenance. We feel that if small children (as in the past) and/or if this facility was to be used for seniors the second kitchen in the basement is a much safer option. However the design took the need for a kitchen and water into consideration. The well that serves the barn is about 50 feet away and at-point-of-use hot water heaters could be installed. The facility includes a top of the line self-contained composting toilet. The toilet is manufactured by Sun-Mar (www.sun-mar.com). The Excel has been successfully tested by the National Sanitation Foundation for six months at its maximum residential capacity of four adults. Key criteria were that the unit operated without odor, and produce a clean dry compost. Basement - over the years the basement has served as a place to hold meetings for 4H horse club, a 4H club involved in craft projects, a place for Notre Dame Moms to prepare crafts for the Christmas sale, as a family room with a TV and video games for our daughters and friends. Presently there is an exercise area, large second kitchen, and craft area. There is an external hook up for a back up electrical generator. Deck we decided to build a very large deck/carport on the back of the house instead of a garage so we could continue to enjoy the views from the back of the house. The deck is built with deep inverted cone peers, filled with concrete and concrete wire. Guard rail post were placed in the concrete to serve as the base to laminate treated 2x6s to serve as the post to support the deck. The post were tongued with steel plates into the 2x12s to support the 2x10 joists. The deck is topped with Trex for low maintenance (www.trex.com). The Trex surface is nice on bare feet and only requires washing every few years. The vinyl railing is keeping with the low-to-no maintenance modifications made over the years. The four large bays under the deck accommodates parking vehicles up to a Super Duty Ford F350, 4x4 Diesel dually pickup. This over built deck was designed to support additions to the house or the entertaining of large parties without the worry of an under built deck. With the over 2000 square feet of deck and having two kitchens it is possible to hold large parties. For us it is a nice place to enjoy the view, watch mother nature and our animals, enjoy our favorite beverages on pleasant mornings and evenings. Barn - a second well was drilled to serve the Barn. This second water source comes in handy for washing vehicles and equines, filling and cleaning the swimming pool, and watering plants and the garden. The drive way was expanded to allow for the use of large trailers with enough swing radius to make it easy to drive in and out without backing up. The base and top are intentionally designed to allow large equipment access. The drive extends to across the west end of the barn and parallel to the side of the barn which can serve as trailer park points. A French drain runs from the end of the house down through the drive parallel to the barn to assist with drainage. House under gone many modifications over the years with the objective to have a very sound low maintenance home. Annual maintenance has/is done on the gas furnaces and central air conditioners by the installer. Real woods from local mills have been used for the custom flooring and trim. From the central vacuum, to ceiling fans in all rooms but the bedroom with the suspended bed, to the extra insulation in the attic to the extra phone and cable TV jacks, to the natural birch to the ceiling kitchen cabinets, the house is a quality/value structure. The walkout basement is ideal for entry on those snowy rainy days or when coming in from doing the barn chores or gardening. The under deck parking puts the first bay within 3 to 5 feet of the entry door. The in the basement garage is presently being used as a workshop but is outfitted with a garage door and the space can be once again used as a garage with direct entry into the basement. Due to the windows, entry, second kitchen, workout area, etc., we use the basement as additional living space. Some of the walls and entertainment center are finished with natural cedar shakes and/or cedar clapboards. The washing machine and electric dryer are located in the basement. However, there are utility connections for these appliances in the off the kitchen bathroom on the main floor if the bathtub is removed which converts this full bath to a bath. The floor plan has three bedrooms and bath located at the North end of the house and the forth bedroom and second bath located on the South end. The front entry is by a wheelchair accessible ramp into a tiled entry and unique natural wood floor area. This vaulted ceiling three season room has three walls of Andersen casement windows with crank out bottoms. Custom lighting and ceiling fan allow this room to be used for an additional conversation area while entertaining, and serves as an excellent buffer during winter and summer storms, and as a sound barrier to street traffic. It also serves as a source of solar heat during the cooler months. Neighbors During our search for a possible relocation site we take the time to talk to our potential neighbors. Here is a brief view of our neighbors here in Ohio at 12901 Bass Lake Road. To the North the house and out buildings set towards the back of the property. A retired gentleman raises white tail deer here and at his 100 acre farm located in Orwell. The family includes Mr. Jones, daughter & husband and girls (17 and 12). We have additional pasture for our mules & horse in a three sectioned electric fenced area on their land. The deal is, we keep the area mowed and looking pretty and they have the pleasure of seeing the animals. They are willing to extend this relationship to the new owners.To the South the house is owned by a widower. She and her husband were here when we arrived in 1975. They do not have any children and were/are like grand parents to our daughters. We take care of removing her snow and assist her on small jobs. For our friendship she lets us use her barn. The couple in the next house to the South have been here for years. Their two sons grew up here, now have their own families and live out of state. He is a construction truck driver and she is a receptionist at a local school. All of us have some holiday dinners together, help each other in times of need, etc. The house on the corner is a younger couple with a new baby, Mom is a nurse, Dad an architect. Mom used to go walking with the wifes.The three houses across the street were built within the last two years. Directly across the road is a family of five. Dad (truck driver for UPS), Mom does billing for doctors, the girls (14, 12, and 8) have adopted us. They enjoy learning about the animals, gardening, driving tractors, have gone with us to our farm to help with mowing, haying, etc. The next house is a working couple with grown children, he is the county engineer. The next house is a young couple with two very young children, a stay at home Mom, Dad has a landscaping business and is a part time police officer. Our property is located such that the neighbors land to the Southeast tees into our land. One property has horses. The subdivision behind us to the East has properties that back up to ours and one of them used to have horses. They maybe interested in letting you have additional pasturing space. We typically rotate our animals every two to three days in the 6 pasture areas. During the winter we keep them limited to the barn yard and lane. We compost our manure, add it to our raised bed garden and share it with our friends. The Area has a lot to offer during all seasons. Alpine Valley ski area is 3 miles away.

Typically these trails are blacktop with wide gravel sides and parking and bathroom facilities at differing crossroads.Geauga county is known as Little Peru due the large number of Alpaca and/or Llama businesses/hobbyist.

We are originally from Vermont and the majority of our families are located there or close by. There are no hidden reasons for us to sell and we will be very happy here enjoying the neighbors, the area and our estate until we sell to those that can enjoy the benefits of our efforts and the area.
