If you want to enjoy natural surrounding while living “green,” this gorgeous ranch home in Sherman, just north of the DFW Metroplex, is loaded with environmentally-friendly amenities. “The seller of Harvest Hill Ranch built it very green,” notes listing realtor Angie Nelson with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “The home’s many energy enhancers include blown insulation, Low E windows, solar panel ‘reflective’ boarding, continuous air soffit vents which allow the house to “breathe” and keep the attic cool, and Type IV roof shingles which come with a lifetime guarantee.”
