What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

Though easily heated by two new furnaces, I have relied happily on two Vermont Castings wood stoves for many years. This home is designed in a way that incorporates natural materials - including a solar heated greenhouse connecting two sections of the home. The architectural style of the home - dual domes - allows for efficent use of natural recources. The house lies lightly on the landscape - blending with the surrounding gardens and natural woodland. The property was constructed using almost no particle board with its harsh chemicals - something rare in modern construction.

Entirely private, the 3500 square foot house incorporates soaring ceilings and skylights in almost every room to bring the outside in. The home has four bedrooms, a library, laundry room, family room, living room, two baths, three terraces, kitchen, pantry, and loft space. Central air and heat. Surrounded by extensive landscape architect designed grounds, the 75-acre property includes a pond, meadow, woodland and a rare black spruce forest.
