Tucked away on approximately 40 wooded acres in Brownington, this truly unique earthen home offers a peaceful setting and a fascinating piece of Vermonts natural-building history. The home features approximately 516 square feet of living space with a one-bedroom loft on the second floor and a newly drilled well. Built using natural and sustainable construction techniques, the home incorporates cob—a mixture of sand, clay and straw—along with straw bale construction and a roundwood timber frame utilizing logs harvested from the property. The home was originally created as part of an exploration of natural building methods and was designed with efficiency and passive-solar concepts in mind. While the home may appear to need some work today, it offers tremendous potential for someone who appreciates unconventional architecture, sustainable building, and a property with a story. Select MLS photos include clearly labeled AI-generated images intended to help buyers visualize possibilities for updating and enhancing the existing space. Surrounding the home are approximately 40 acres offering a wonderful mixture of woods, large open meadows, and trails winding throughout the property. A second clay structure, originally begun as a practice structure while experimenting with natural-building techniques, can also be found nearby. For outdoor enthusiasts, the property sits directly on the VAST snowmobile trail, providing convenient recreational access right from the land. Whether envisioned as a seasonal retreat, recreational property, or an opportunity to revive a truly distinctive Vermont home, this Brownington property offers acreage, privacy, history, and plenty of room for creativity.
