What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
It is EnergyStar rated with triple-pane windows, solar hot water, thermal gain from south-facing windows. Our house is heated by the community's wood-fired boiler.Property Description
The house has an open-concept main floor with a wall of built-in bookcases and bay windows that have a lovely view of the community, farm, and surrounding hills. The well-designed kitchen has a peninsula and cherry cabinets. This house also has one full and one 3/4 bathroom, office/den, and family room, and ample storage (including a large garden shed). Directly off the main living area is a deck where we have supper most summer evenings. The picture of the rainbow was taken from there. We find this house to be more comfortable than anywhere else we have lived; it is bright and sunny, and the radiant heat keeps our toes toasty in the winter. (Note: there is an additional $2,000/year in monthly fees beyond the utilities noted above. These pay for all the taxes, insurance and maintenance on the common community property.)
Neighborhood Description
Built 15 years ago, our community comprises 23 energy-efficient homes, a working farm and dairy, and numerous member-owned agricultural enterprises, including award-winning cheese, frozen yogurt, mushrooms, maple syrup, and sheep.

We are located just 20 minutes from Dartmouth College and from one of New England’s premier medical centers. This is a vibrant area where the arts flourish and outdoor recreational opportunities abound. Excellent schools and a healthy, safe environment make it a great place to raise children.School District
The excellent Hartland School (kindergarten through 8th grade) is 2-1/2 miles away and serves about 300 children. The school is deeply rooted in our town and community and strongly encourages parent and community involvement. Hartland students can choose to attend any local high school to which they are accepted.

Our community is inter-generational, with ages ranging from babies to 80s. Kids love living here, and they enjoy having a playing field, a play structure, a common art area, acres and acres of woods to explore, and the opportunity to learn about farming through 4H. Adults have fun here too, with frequent community dinners and lots of social events.. Our decision-making is by consensus, and we have a very strong informal mutual support system (we take care of each other).Location of Home or Land
