A rare find!...A Passive Solar home on 6 acres with a studio/workshop and a pond in a private setting within minutes of the I-91 & Rte. 2 Rotary in Greenfield. This unique home has floor-to-ceiling south-facing double-pane glass, an open floor plan, and tile floors on the first floor designed to capture the heat in the winter. Built into the hill by design with bermed concrete walls to hold the temperature at approximately 55 degrees year-round. A spiral staircase accesses two open loft bedrooms with views below and access to the backyard. A greenhouse is connected to the living room in the front, and a concrete root cellar is next to the kitchen for storage and utilities. Easily heated by wood with a propane heater for backup. The studio is an incredible space for an artist, craftsperson, or home office, with windows along the front and heated by wood or propane. An additional room is attached to the studio, and a two-car garage is below. Follow the path from the backyard to the pond.
