It faces south and is heated by passive solar and wood stove backup. Electricity comes from the solar system with a grid connection for backup. Water comes from the rainwater collection and filtration system, with sewage handled by a septic tank. A greenhouse incorporated into the front of the house provides year round growing opportunities.

The 185 acres of virgin mixed grass prairie and coulees is host to incredible biodiversity: like badger, porcupine, owls, jackrabbits, cottontails, deer, coyote, gray partridge, prairie ground squirrels, weasel, a multitude of hawks and eagles, along with an amazing amount of wild flowers, grasses and native pollinators.
