Listing details for 33 Robinson Creek Rd, Asheville, NC 28803 : 'The Sawtooth House' pairs elegant simplicity with sustainable performance and deep responsibility. LEED Silver 'Parade of Homes' 2013 winner for both innovation and craftsmanship. Located in the sustainably planned private 38-acre neighborhood of 'Greenwood', this home of the future rests seamlessly within a thoughtfully designed green sanctuary! The solar elements of 'The Sawtooth House' serve as stunning architectural features. The climate-responsive design incorporates a geothermal heat pump with a heat ventilator HRV recovery system, keeping temperatures and air quality optimized. The standing-seam metal sawtooth roof design allows the sun to passively dance through 16' clerestory triple-pane high-level UV windows protecting your art! Photovoltaic solar panels feed three batteries for year-round electric independence, juicing your electric vehicle & procuring monthly winter electric bills in the teens! This distinctive home and grounds have been twice featured in 'Carolina Homes + Garden' magazine. The grounds have been tailored to honor existing century-year-old rhodo thickets and designed with hydrangeas, native azaleas, dogwoods, grasses, a stunning Japanese maple collection, and an array of perennials over an invisible stormwater and erosion-control system carrying roof drainage and runnoff to a rain garden complete with boulders. Four seasons dramatically play throughout this 'landscape of meaning' designed as The Courtyard, The Meredies (south), The Vespere (west), and the native woodland gardens. So exquisite in their collective designs that they become the lead stars in the published 'Devotion: Diary of an Appalachian Garden.' Two individual sculptures, along with the custom gate and wrought iron railings, complete the masterpiece. By appointment only, with inspiration from the seasons.
