This south-facing, 15 + acre property is located in the rural, Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont. It's a turnkey survival retreat powered by
photovoltaic panels and a 6500-watt Kubota diesel generator that runs beautifully on used vegetable oil. An outdoor wood-fired boiler heats domestic hot water and radiant floors in the winter. Flat plate solar thermal panels heat water in the summer.
The home is a two-story, 2900 sq. ft., 45-foot diameter geodesic dome constructed with wire reinforced concrete panels and insulated with 9" of EPS foam. This gives the house an impressive R-36 insulation value. In the winter, a bank of south facing windows provides passive solar heat. The home is bright enough to grow citrus trees. In the summer, a cupola at the top of the dome vents the structure. No air conditioning is required.
