Flipping through the latest Dwell magazine, we came across this stunning house in Georgian Bay, Ontario (Canada). The house is only accessible by boat or seaplane and is completely self-sufficient with solar panels, a graywater system (attached to the home’s one sink), a composting toilet, and a wood-burning stove and fireplace. More photos and info below the jump...

To keep warm, the owners heat their bed with rocks warmed from the stove and fireplace. Almost all of the wood used to build the house was reclaimed from old barns in the area.
