This architecturally designed Energy Star building was originally a co-housing 2 unit with a communal space but it is being reconfigured into a lovely 3 bed 2 bath single level home w/ easy access. The plan incorporated earth based construction & is a combination of post and beam structure with hay bale insulation. The homes walls are over 20" thick with clay, lime & straw plaster on both the inside and outside. The exterior was just fully reclad with cedar shake & vertical boards enhancing both the durability & efficiency. While the exterior is complete the interior work will begin in late December with an estimated completion date of Feb 1, 2021. The central kitchen will feature hardwood cabinets, stainless appliances & a central island looking out towards the dining space. East of the kitchen will be a large living room. The north west corner of the house will be home to the master suite while the eastern wing will contain the two guest rooms & second full bath. This home will remain warm and cozy in the winter months thanks to the radiant heat in the stained concrete floor. The dwelling sits at the top of a 7.7 acre open lot situated due south to take advantage of passive solar gain but also offers lovely sunset views. The exposure combined with the open nature of the land make this a great place to grow your own food & have some livestock. This is a unique opportunity for those looking for a country home in the rural country side of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
