This house is located in one of our favorite neighborhoods to build in, Sovereign Oaks. Just ten minutes east of Asheville, Sovereign Oaks has gently sloping lots with an extremely picturesque landscape. The owners of this home first started talking to JAG nine years before this home was built. We love working with clients through their process to build their dream homes even if that process takes nearly a decade! The home site has amazing southern exposure allowing for natural passive and active solar design. Our combination of energy efficient materials and practices combined with an active solar power system earned this home net-zero energy status. It was featured in an article about building net-zero that can be found on our blog page.
