powered home on 52.6 acres showcases Vermont’s natural beauty

Key Points:

• Christopher M. Young designed a contemporary, energy-efficient home built in 2017 on a 52.6-acre lot in Vermont, featuring a unique trapezoid shape to maximize solar power and natural light.
• The 1,484-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and sustainable features such as a 24-panel solar array with battery storage, a wood-fired stove, and natural cooling through ceiling fans and cross breezes.
• Interior highlights include reclaimed barn wood from a 200-year-old Tunbridge barn, custom elm counters, murals by local artist Katie J. Roberts, and an open floor plan with large windows offering panoramic mountain views.
• The property also features an outbuilding matching the home's trapezoid design, Wi-Fi and cell service, and access to Vermont’s trail system via the nearby Cilley Covered Bridge.
• The Young family is selling the home to pursue a new off-the-grid homestead, with the listing managed by Mary Paino of Coldwell Banker Lifestyles in Quechee, Vermont.
