** This unique property has some systems that are not conventional. There is no Central Air Conditioner rather a Crosswind air circulation system. The house was designed to open up and allow the brisk breeze over Bear Lake to cool it along with large ceiling fans. Please note that if you must have A/C this may not be your best option. It s almost always cool. There is also a Rain/ Lake Water collection system with a cistern. It has a large charcoal filter for the entire house and individual charcoal filters in the kitchen.
