Beautiful Custom-Built Post and Beam Home – Energy Efficient with Modern Upgrades

Built in 2011 using traditional post and beam construction, this well-built custom home offers the charm and durability of a conventional house—not a mobile or modular home. The main living area features 432 square feet of thoughtfully designed open-concept space, plus an additional 144 square foot covered front porch perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. The house sits on .67 of an acre of open grass with a few trees on the property line.

The interior includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a bright living area, and an open kitchen, creating a comfortable and functional layout ideal for singles, couples, retirees, or anyone looking to downsize. The home was built with energy efficiency in mind and features excellent insulation throughout, including R40 in both the ceiling and floor and R24 in the walls. Combined with heat tape on the main water line, this home is exceptionally well prepared for winter conditions.

Heating is fully electric with five flat panel wall heaters (four 400-watt and one 250-watt), each controlled by its own programmable thermostat for customized comfort and efficiency. Despite being all electric, utility costs remain impressively low, with winter bills never exceeding $190 and summer bills averaging around $80 even with frequent air conditioning use.

The home currently features a simple but durable kitchen constructed with laminated board, 2x4 framing, and plywood. While functional and extremely sturdy, it offers an excellent opportunity for cosmetic remodeling if a more modern style is desired. A 200-amp electrical service provides ample capacity for future upgrades, including easy stove installation.

Outside, the property includes a newer mini barn bought in 2021, perfect for storage or workshop space, as well as an 80-foot driveway that was professionally repaved in 2022.

A recent market value assessment placed the property at $180,000. Priced to sell at $150,000, this is an excellent opportunity to own a quality-built, efficient, move-in-ready home with room to personalize.
