About This Home

As of March 2024

This 3-bedroom house on 30+/- acres near Okemo, with a blend of artistry and environmental features, is a dream home in progress. The use of high-quality materials, sustainable construction, and off-grid origins make it unique. This home is so close to being finished, the new owner will get to personalize it and make it their very own. The house is ready to occupy so you could jump right in and enjoy VT living! The house, now grid-connected, boasts a Kohler generator, solar panels, cedar siding, and a standing seam roof. Inside, eco-friendly quartz countertops, an Italian LaNordica wood cook stove, and locally milled oak floors showcase the commitment to sustainability. The open main level includes a bedroom, office, full bath, and laundry. Upstairs houses two bedrooms, while the lower level walkout features a Morso wood stove and unfinished rooms. Additionally, the property includes an off-grid cottage with a kitchen, wood stove, solar panels, and loft. Priced for completion, it awaits a new owner to bring this masterpiece to life.
