This home is located in the Western North Carolina mountains.  Built as an 'green' home home, the homeowners included aspects like building on a basement foundation, aligning windows to allow a cross ventilation system between north/south and east/west winds, tank-less water heater, structural insulated panels/log hybrid building materials, vaulted ceilings with ceiling fans and all energy star appliances.  This home will be featured in an upcoming 2009 issue of Log Home Design magazine.
