How Weird Is This Heating System?

[Ryan Dossey]

The guy we bought this home from was also the builder. He was fairly inventive and the home has some really cool features. This however is just strange. So the home is on county water. But he tapped into the old well system. So we have a "geo thermal" style system yet the well water is heated with a boiler. These things sound like a semi screaming up a hill. Apparently its actually fairly cheap to run. But for the price range this project will be in a buyer wants a regular high efficiency furnace.
