1275 Old Cheney Road, Windham, VT 05359

Sitting on a high hillside, this home was built for those who love the Earth and want to live lightly on it. From this peaceful haven, you can watch and enjoy the changing seasons and a diversity of Vermont wildlife. Raised organic garden beds provide the opportunity for fresh fruits and vegetables. Its 2.06 acres are mostly forested, but it has clear views to the west of the Turkey Mountain Ridge that are sure to delight you. The property is off the beaten path, yet near Southern Vermont ski mountains and various nature trails. One trail is easily accessed from the house through friendly neighbors’ land to an ancient road and beautiful brook. The home is energy efficient and all electric except for a propane cooktop, and it comes with a net-metered solar array that generates much of the energy used by the house. It is a tall home of three stories, each with about 560 sq. ft. The top floor provides an elevated view of the natural surroundings. It includes a lookoff, the kitchen, dining area, bedroom, and bathroom. The middle floor has a front porch entrance, living room, main bedroom, and bathroom. The lower floor has private outdoor entrances and two rooms with a mini-kitchen, bathroom, and utility room. Attached is a large shed that has served as a workshop, a storage area, and a chicken coop. The folks who built the house live next door and rent part of their land for a community solar field. Children and adults will love exploring the area which is rich in geologic and human history. If you love the land and want a home that honors Nature, this is the place for you.
