31 Hall Bridge Rd, Bellows Falls, VT 05101

This is a private homeowner sale of a unique 448 sq. ft. energy-efficient home (14’ x 32’) built in 2019. Tucked away on a quiet dirt road just beyond Hall Bridge a classic Vermont covered bridge you’ll enjoy privacy and seclusion while still being only 7 minutes (4 miles) from downtown Bellows Falls and 8 minutes (4.6 miles) from Interstate 91. Designed with passive solar principles and constructed for long-term durability, the home sits on 10 poured-concrete piers set below frost line. Its open-concept layout features cathedral ceilings and large south-facing bay windows for natural light and solar heat gain. Built with dense-packed cellulose insulation, thermal breaks, and an exceptionally strong frame (enough lumber for more than two homes of this size), this house is not only solid but extremely efficient. The ceiling measures 15” thick (R-54), walls 14” thick, and floor 9” thick (R-34) several times higher than the insulation levels in a standard U.S. household. Utility bills average just $120/month in the middle of winter for both heat and electricity. The property includes a private well, a 1,000-gallon poly septic tank (leach field designed for a Presby mound system, still needs installation), and geothermal heating/cooling sourced from the well. Full electrical service, Comcast internet, and strong Verizon cell coverage are already in place. For storage and projects, there is also a 10’ x 12’ shed with a workbench and built-in shelving. The home is fully livable with water, toilet, shower, kitchen, and laundry hookups, but still requires finishing work: siding, interior flooring, walls, ceilings, and the septic leach field. Because of this, the property is currently classified as a “camp”. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, highly efficient Vermont property with a rock-solid structure, outstanding insulation, and excellent potential for someone ready to complete and customize it.
