How to You Like Them Apples! Last year had an incredible apple surplus. Custom built home with attention to detail everywhere. Views of protected farmland and the forever wild Audubon Bird Sanctuary. The property has fruit-bearing apple, peach and pear trees. Pick your own blueberries. Two outbuildings, a private pond, fields and pine grove round out the 9+ acres. The interior workmanship is amazing, from the barn siding walls to the custom woodwork. The heating system is a blend of electric, oil forced air and passive solar. There is a 'heat sink' under the home to store the heat and two venting chambers to circulate the air. When the house was sited, the black tiles were perfectly positioned to absorb the winter sun and avoid the summer sun. A true southern exposure. Utility costs are minimal. The upstairs master suite includes a sitting area and private deck. A great country get-away convenient to the Taconic State Parkway, Route 22. Less than 10 minutes to the Berkshires.
