Set in harmony with the land, this thoughtfully updated earth berm home on 31.68± acres reflects a quieter way of living—built on balance, efficiency, and connection. Originally constructed in 1983 and extensively renovated in 2015, the home has been carefully maintained and refined into a space that feels grounded and full of light.
A south-facing wall of glass defines the interior, drawing in natural sunlight that fills the open living space throughout the day. The layout is practical and comfortable—anchored by a gas stove, supported by electric systems and Mitsubishi mini-splits, and finished with a blend of carpet, LVT, and tile. A spacious bathroom off the kitchen features a walk-in shower, while the primary suite offers a large bedroom, walk-in closet, and private bath with full tub and shower. A second bedroom provides additional flexibility, and laundry is tucked into a hall closet off the kitchen.
Built with eight-inch concrete walls on three sides, the earth-sheltered design supports natural insulation and year-round efficiency. A root cellar maintains a steady temperature around 44 degrees and houses the mechanicals. Water is abundant, supplied by both a deep drilled well and a natural spring. A 1,000-gallon septic system—recently pumped—and a roof approximately 12 years old round out the home’s intentional infrastructure.
Outside, the land reflects abundant stewardship. Roughly half the acreage is leased for organic farming with no chemical inputs. A spring-fed pond supports fish and wildlife, while the wooded portion remains unlogged. A three-bay garage with concrete floors, 220 electric, subpanel, wood stove, and metal roof adds utility and function for a wide range of users.
Located just 1.5 miles from the area-famous Frozen Ocean State Forest, the setting extends beyond its boundaries—where home and ground work together in quiet alignment. Please provide ample time to schedule a showing. Proof of funds or proof of pre-qualification required for confirmation.
