Breidablick is a thoughtfully crafted post and beam cottage with a copper roof. The purchase includes the one-acre parcel that the building sits on and a 1/9th share of the 132-acre Common Land. Completed in 2005, Breidablick’s foremost interior feature is its living room with a stone blacksmith forge, wainscoting, a library and a backup wood stove. On the second floor there is a cozy bedroom, a room with a view with a full bath with a tile floor. The sale packet includes the option of adding an “owner built” 324 square foot addition for $70,000 creating, in effect, a 1,300 square foot building. Another 324 square feet of area could be gained with a basement under the new addition. This addition, would make Breidablick ideal for family of three or four or for a couple, without children who seek space for a studio or a study along with more bedroom and storage capacity.
"Breidablick" is part of the Commons at Windekind, a “designed” community that focuses on environmental and economic sustainability and the many factors that contribute to a sense of community. The Commons will have 9 families, each owning about one acre parcels and 1/9th of the 132 acres of Common Land. Ownership of Common Land offers families a vast number of land use options. In the vicinity of Breidablick, there is direct access to about 25 miles of Nordic ski and hiking trails, 4 gardens set in about 3 acres of lawn and gardens and two picnic areas. On Common Land, that abuts the 20,000-acre Camel’s Hump State Park, there are 3 major streams, a 13-acre meadow, trails, bridges, mature woodlands, three ponds and a 1/5th size garden railway. On their private parcels, families can also create their own lawns and gardens and build accessory structures including small commercial spaces as a studio, a shop and a place to grow a business. We are located in Huntington Vermont, a tight knit community known for excellent schools, outstanding governance, a strong focus on the environment and progressive politics.
