1670 High Pond Road

Description

4394 square feet of living space PLUS 111 acres PLUS gorgeous views! This contemporary 3 bedroom, 2 bath house has 3200 square feet of living space on the main level and nice views of the Green Mountains to the east. With 10-foot ceilings and few walls, you will have plenty of room to arrange furnishings and living space any way you see fit. The solar panels (owned) take a big chunk out of the utility bills--and the house has a bank of batteries to ensure you have power if the grid fails. In addition, you have three ways to heat the house. The efficient wood gasification boiler provides radiant heat on both the main and basement floors, and the pellet stove and heat pump (which can be remotely controlled and monitored via the Internet) provide additional sources of heat. Insulation is good with walls 8" thick and rated R49. High quality materials were used in the building throughout: Ash flooring, engineered stone countertops, maple cabinets, and a large deck made of Brazilian Hardwood among other things. Besides two garage bays and large work areas in the walkout basement, there's another garage building with two bays and an accessory dwelling unit above (some work remains to be done). Best of all? 111 acres of open land, woods, hillside--and a bubbling stream along the road. (It gets even better--the property borders on Nature Conservancy land!) Plenty of room for animals and gardening! This is a great spot to get away from it all while living in style.
