Montgomery House
 
 

This unique house was built on a 1/2 acre lot in 1997 in the Ten Stones Community, an 85 acre neighborhood of 16 homes in rural Charlotte, Vermont. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and is handicap friendly on the first floor. Gas fired radiant floor heating on both floors. The wood stove in the living room is an additional source of heat.
Wi-Fi and DSL are available throughout the house and studio. Attached 2 car garage.

The house, designed by owner/architect Ted Montgomery of Groundswell Architects, has been published in many books and magazines, see groundswellarchitects.com. The house was featured in the second of Sarah Susanka's "Not So Big Houses" books - "Creating the Not So Big House." The garden room is built around an 85-foot green ash tree. In late March the buds start to appear on the section of the tree inside the garden room while on the outside the leaves start to bud 6 weeks later. The garden room is the temporary home to a pond full of plants and 70 goldfish who spend the
non-winter months of the year in the outdoor pond.

The Montgomery family are co-founders of the Ten Stones Community. Read more about the community on the Intentional Communities web site. Or, for others looking to spend a month in a beautiful rural location, this is a unique opprtunity to live in a friendly, peaceful and safe neighborhood.

The 85 acre community consists of 16 house lots clustered around a central green, a community building for a weekly shared dinner, yoga classes and other activities, and about 60 acres of field and woodlands for hiking, cross-country skiing and recreation. Ten Stones is close to the magnificent Lake Champlain and the 6 million acre Adirondack Park, across the lake via the Charlotte ferry, and only 20 minutes south of Burlington, Vermont, one of the nicest small cities
in the USA. Burlington International Airport is 25 minutes from the house.

The poem around the soffit is the first verse of an ee cummings poem:
i thank you god for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
