Experience Modern Sustainable Living - Just 20 Minutes from Middlebury Have you been dreaming of a modern, energy-efficient home or homestead that combines comfort, style, and tranquility? This thoughtfully designed residence was built with many LEED principles and has achieved a 5-Star Energy Rating. Every detail reflects a commitment to sustainable living and exceptional craftsmanship. With entrances on both levels, this home offers flexible living arrangements for a variety of lifestyles. The main level was designed for easy one-floor living, featuring a mudroom, an open-concept kitchen, dining area, office, living room, and a primary bedroom and ensuite for comfort and convenience. Expansive triple-paned oversized windows frame panoramic views and fill the home with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Step outside onto the Azek deck, perfectly positioned to take in the sweeping views. Relax in the open air, or stroll into your windowed and screened octagonal pavilion, built in 2019-a remarkable three-season retreat that serves as a second kitchen or entertaining space. With its 18-foot-diameter vaulted ceiling and interior perimeter LED lighting for nighttime gatherings, this pavilion provides a striking setting for day or evening enjoyment. Step beyond the deck and explore open acres that invite wandering, with established paths leading through your own wooded sanctuary. From the deck-and down below-take in views of flourishing berry bushes, a true farm-to-table bonus. Unwind beside the peaceful pond, where the sounds of nature and surrounding beauty create a private, restorative escape. (View the video to take in the beauty of this property.) The property also features a barn with a walk-in refrigerator for storing harvests, homestead goods, or catering supplies. A large garage with a dedicated workshop offers ample space for projects, equipment, or creative pursuits, adding even more versatility to the property.
