This project is currently awaiting final photos.

Final landscaping taking place Spring 2025.

 

This high performance home sits upon a gorgeous piece of land tucked in the forest in the Green Mountains. Located on a very snowy ridge, it settles in nicely amongst the trees and exposed ledge. A long sweeping driveway showcases the building as you travel up.

3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms offer flexibility for the owners. Living can be split between the light filled main space or they can retreat to the living area in the back of the barn to enjoy their music room, workout room, and workshop. Plentiful storage is located above the entire main floor of the barn.

​

A cozy woodstove provides ambiance and additional heating as well as a central gathering place around the sofa. Views of the forest are in every direction with floor to ceiling windows throughout. There is plenty of covered exterior space for the owners to enjoy the warmer seasons. A large screen porch is sure to be a favorite for dinners and lounging in a hammock and the exterior patio will be great for grilling and entertaining.

 

The owners can swiftly utilize the walking trails along the property from their many exterior doors. With the main suite on the first floor, and the ability to retrofit the conditioned barn space into an apartment for a caretaker if needed, it is designed to age in place comfortably.
