Set in an idyllic country setting, this unique 3-bedroom, 2 bath contemporary offers privacy with its 5+ acres of natural surroundings. This original solar home, featuring earth-bermed construction, was built in 1982 and has an innovative design featuring a "passive solar heated shell" including a foundation with solar thermal storage and air plenum duct work that circulates warm air in winter and cool air in summer. The home enjoys abundant natural light through walls of south-facing windows, bringing the outside in. There are natural terra cotta floors in the open kitchen/living space, and wood floors in the remainder. This home will certainly appeal to the person looking for an energy efficient home with minimal environmental impact. A short walk to Heald Pond offers summer and winter fun, with miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. A rare opportunity to enjoy sustainable living surrounded by natural beauty.
