About this property
Unique custom home on 17 wooded acres, with cleared land for gardens, in Middlesex, VT, 15 minutes from Montpelier. This home blends artistic craftsmanship with top-tier energy performance. Perched on a south-facing hillside near a brook, the main residence is an award-winning, net-zero+ Certified Passive House which has won awards for its creative design, energy efficiency, and green construction. Grid-connected solar arrays with battery backup power the heating, hot water, appliances, and EVs. Triple-pane windows, MERV-13 air filtration, R-60 walls, R-80 roof, and air-sealed construction. Interior: post-and-beam timberframe, cherry braces, local white cedar paneling, wide pine floors, and non-toxic materials. First floor is ADA-compliant and includes a full bedroom with walk-in closet, bath with dual steam shower, open kitchen, and living room with cathedral ceiling and dramatic picture windows. The second-floor gallery overlooks the living area and can serve as a guest room, studio, and office. Second Structure: A 22' enclosed porch connects to a 40'x40' high-performance timberframe structure with live-edge cherry braces (empty but for electrical & plumbing stubs), and triple-pane windows. It also has a solar orientation, with four levels of open floor space surrounding a 30' atrium above a full basement. There's a custom Corinthian granite masonry stove with bake oven arising from the basement floor, a 1918 wood cookstove in the kitchen space, lofts, and picture windows. This building could be made the main residence, studio, or work/live space, then using the Passive House as a guest house, ADU, or rental. Middlesex is a vibrant *Town Meeting* community with a top-ranked elementary school, 3 miles from I-89, 30 minutes from Stowe and Sugarbush. This is a rare sustainable living opportunity in the heart of Vermont!
