I have a house for sale [see below] that would be very desirable to the type of person who may frequent this type of site and thus the lifestyle that supports it. What makes it unusual is that it sits in the federal NO FLY zone protected because of Camp David
Nothing can fly over here without permission that is given only in rare emergency circumstances.
There is an area on property for as large of a green house that you could desire that is already supplied with water and 220
electric .
2 steep paved driveways will unsure that no one can enter the property in a hurry , and sensors could easily be installed
$ 550K
If this is not the forum for this kind of post could I get some direction to a sight / forum that may be more appropriate ?

Construction
Let me be clear , I built this house . I tend to over build things , and tell you where every last nail is in this place . With that said ,
the foundation is a combination of block and poured walls .
The Quiet Floor [tm] system is on 16 inch centers so you can walk across it without the dishes rattling in the china closet , the
sub floor is guaranteed for 50 years . The walls are 2 x 6 also on 16 inch centers with R-19 insulation and vapor barriers inside
and out . Ceilings are R-40 with vapor barriers . There are electric base board heaters but I do just fine with solar gain and a
wood stove . But for convenience there is a heat pump and central air
Garage
The garage is 40 x 64 with a separate apartment [ apprentice , inlaws , guest , caretaker ] quarters. It has a separate 200 amp
meter . 2 x 6 walls are insulated to R-19 . This building could be used for artist in residence , antiques , club house or any home
based business
