==========================
The owner of Casa Pacis is an expert in Home Energy Analysis for Carbon Footprint Reduction and in Solar System Design and Performance Simulation.
Casa Pacis has a solar PV system that has, since pioneering installation in 2004, generated 100,200 kWh of electricity (as of 11/2023) and, thus, offset ~60,000 lb of CO2 emissions (assuming 0.6 lb/kWh). The energy produced by this system would have “fueled” a state-of-the-art EV for about 350,000 miles or saved 15,000 gal of gasoline.
Casa Pacis is located at the cul-de-sac of Osprey Reach (red outlined rectangle); unobstructed views into Walk-On Beach.

The Casa Pacis home sits at the cul-de-sac of Osprey Reach. The two lots in front are undeveloped and permit unobstructed ocean bluff views from every room in this uniquely picturesque and private meadow location. There is a 100-yard trail connecting the cul-de-sac with the famous Sea Ranch ocean bluff trail. South of Casa Pacis one finds the only sand dunes of The Sea Ranch. Enjoy Photos from the Bluff Trail.
