This exceptional home equally blends energy efficiency and its natural surroundings to create a homestead of sustainable luxury. Custom designed and now being offered by the original owners, this home is as unique as the nature that surrounds it. Stroll through over 17 acres viewing 3 different ponds, multiple rock formations and extensive gardens including an edible wave of fruits, berries and vegetables around the homesite. This Vermont property embodies living with nature, not only through the extensive trail system and wildlife, but with stunning mountain views of Camel's Hump and Mount Ellen. There are 10 acres of gated trails leading to one pond serving as a rookery for great blue herons and another pond featuring a beaver's den, both with seating areas to take in the beauty. The home has received four different green certifications since its completion in 2019 and has annual utility costs under $1000. Designed with two levels of independent living in mind, the layout features two kitchens, two living rooms, two laundry areas, and three bedroom suites. Intentional details like beech flooring from Starksboro, cherry wood trim, pocket doors throughout, and an infrared dry sauna, provide elements of Vermont sophistication. The interior of this sun inspired home was designed with line of site views and both an east and west wing cedar shake porch - one for the morning and one for the evening! Located 30 minutes to either Middlebury or Burlington, this home has the ability to cater to multigenerational living, a visting au pair, a home based business, or just provide ample living space.
