New construction at Cumberland Harbour

Great Capes Builders, LLC, is building this home for the Ownby family on Wards Lane. Dennis and Helen Ownby, working with their builder and architect, went to great lengths to save as many of the wonderful live oak trees on their property as possible. A geothermal heating & cooling system is also planned for the home.

Correction: Harbour Lights previously indicated the Scherck home had the first geothermal system in CH. Actually, the Saare home had the first system, an open-loop one, which is also considered geothermal. The soon to be completed Scherck home and the Ownby home will have closed-loop geothermal systems. Congratulations to all three families for incorporating this new technology into their homes. -Editor
