Nestled in the woods on a sunny clearing, on a peaceful country lane, this brand-new Passive House is a stunning example of modern sustainability and high-end craftsmanship. Certified by Phius, this home has undergone rigorous design and testing to achieve exceptional energy efficiency, making it capable of reaching net-zero energy consumption.
A Passive House provides a continuous flow of fresh, clean air as the Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) filters allergens and pollutants like pollen or smoke from the neighbors' woodstove smoke for excellent air quality. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with a focus on non-toxic, premium finishes—perfect for those who want the very best in eco-conscious living.
The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious second-floor loft, offering flexibility for work, relaxation, or additional guest space. Oversized sliding glass doors invite seamless indoor-outdoor living, allowing you to take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.The 2 car garage provides another loft space with extra room for storage or future finishing options.
The property was designed and built by North River Architecture, who've worked on hundreds of residential and commercial structures in the Hudson Valley over the past four decades, including parts of Bard College, Omega Institute, and the High Meadow School, as well as consulting on sustainability. Inside, every material has been chosen for its health-conscious and sustainable properties. Walls are finished with zero-VOC Clare Paint and the Internorm timber-aluminum triple glazed, tilt-and-turn windows from Austria provide incredible insulation and durability. Interior doors are sealed with non-toxic sealant and wood sills are finished with Rubio Monocoat for a natural, low-toxicity touch with a luxurious look and feel. Water is delivered through copper piping, and the exterior is clad in Lunawood Nordic Thermowood from Finland, chosen for its beauty, sustainability, and resilience.
Designed for both function and aesthetics, the kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry crafted from PureBond plywood (formaldehyde-free) and custom detailed millwork including slatted kitchen island. A Clé Tile backsplash with lead-free Zellige tiles adds artisanal charm, while Caesarstone Porcelain countertops (Greenguard Gold certified) offer durability with a commitment to air quality. Equipped with an induction range, Miele washer/drier and paneled fridge and dishwasher, the fossil-fuel free home blends cutting-edge efficiency with sleek, modern design
Each bathroom is finished with handmade, lead-free Fireclay Tile and Caesarstone quartz countertops, ensuring both beauty and safety. White oak vanities add warmth, while natural stone sills bring a timeless elegance—Pierre Bluestone in the primary bath and Jerusalem Gold Limestone in the secondary bath. Designer lighting in each room such as Noguchi, HAY, and Louis Poulsen creating the organic modernism was the vibe.
The home's flooring is a mix of sealed concrete (Vermont Naturals) and solid white oak, sourced from a hyperlocal mill (Excelsior Wood) and treated with Rubio Monocoat again for that stunning, character-rich look. Wood sills and bannisters complement the design, creating a cohesive and natural aesthetic.
