Maintenance & Tech
Overview
Maintenance
One of the best things about Flat Tire Farms is how flexible the maintenance can be. You truly get to choose how much (or how little) you want to do.
At the high end, the 13 acres give you plenty of room to plant expansive gardens, maintain a small herd, or raise horses with ample pasture space.
On the other hand, you can keep things wonderfully simple: let the meadows grow naturally into beautiful wildflower fields, remove a few flower beds if desired, and add a fountain or seating area for effortless enjoyment. The established landscaping, mature trees, and open pastures were designed to look stunning with minimal intervention, so whether you love hands-on homesteading or prefer a true turnkey sanctuary with occasional professional help, the property adapts to your lifestyle.
Technology & Specs
Behind the striking industrial design lies exceptional engineering and thoughtful systems built for long-term comfort, efficiency, and low maintenance. The home features rugged CMU block construction with thick 13½–16" walls forming a “house within a house,” massive bridge-truss roof spans for column-free open spaces, and a new TPO roof with spray foam insulation.
You’ll enjoy a high-capacity septic system (1,200-gallon tank with dual drain fields plus bonus tanks), whole-home Pentair water filtration with UV purification and Rinnai tankless hot water, advanced HVAC with spiral ductwork and UV air sterilization, closed-cell foam + Rockwool insulation for quiet energy efficiency, and a smart electrical system with CAT6 wiring, USB outlets, and motion sensors.
Every detail — from the reinforced concrete floors to the future-proof infrastructure — was designed by Bob Lucier for durability, performance, and effortless living on 13 private acres.
