This private, custom-designed, modern timber frame is literally on a mountain side but still relatively close to things. It is close to great hiking, mountain biking, gravel riding, skiing (Nordic, downhill, and backcountry areas), and snowmobiling. Lake Champlain and the Burlington airport are about 20 miles away. The house has beautiful sunrise views over the Green Mountains, and terraced landscaping with dozens of fruit trees and berry bushes. It incorporates many local and salvaged building materials as well as several green-technology systems. Solar thermal and Photovoltaic panels are mounted on the roof for nearly free hot water and electricity for 9 months of the year. Charge your EV from the sun using the universal Level 2 charger. A whole-house Heat Recovery Ventilation system keeps indoor air fresh year-round. The in-floor radiant heat is very comfortable. High-speed fiber internet. The setting is good for writers, families, remote workers, and others looking to get out of town and explore the things that make Vermont unique. Easy commute to Hinesburg, Richmond, Waterbury, Bristol. Commuting to Burlington, Middlebury, and Montpelier is doable. The best grocery is in Hinesburg 9 miles away but there are several colorful country stores closer. Bonus room above the garage could be available for an additional cost depending on your needs. Winter tires are necessary and an AWD high-clearance vehicle is helpful in the spring during mud-season.
