A quintessential healthy home with separate garage attached to the house by a breezeway. Outside, Wild Rice appears to be four gabled forms with a massive stone chimney heralding the entry. Inside, a spacious central great room with an old-fashioned stone fireplace visually soars to an upstairs loft.

Bedroom locations are flexible-either two bedrooms on the main level and a couple's realm above (as shown), or put the master bedroom on the main level and a loft above (see Rustic Retreat). Lower level is optional, dependent upon site conditions and budget constraints.
