Hartland, VT | 30 Garcia Lane

Description

Set on 10.03 hilltop acres in Hartland, this property pairs a three-bedroom, two-bath main residence with a separate living space above the barn-garage, each enjoying breathtaking long-range views. More than $323, 000 in improvements since purchase enhance its comfort, versatility and energy resilience. A 19.68 kW ground-mounted solar array generates electricity that, based on the seller’s utility billing records, meets or exceeds the home’s consumption over a full year. Three seller-owned Tesla Powerwall batteries provide 40.5 kWh of energy storage and whole-home backup capability during grid outages. Upgraded 400-amp electrical service provides substantial capacity for modern electrical demands and future additions such as EV charging. Together, these investments offer an uncommon degree of energy self-reliance and peace of mind. The main residence welcomes you with oak floors, a living-room fireplace, and a kitchen featuring granite counters, maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a pantry. French doors lead to a generous dining room overlooking the landscape. All three main-house bedrooms are on the main level, including a primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet and private deck. A porch and additional deck extend living and entertaining outdoors. The walkout lower level offers a spacious family/media room with a wood-burning stove, flexible space for exercise or creative pursuits, and room for laundry, storage and workshop activities. Above the detached two-car barn-garage, is a 920 sq ft living space that enjoys views equally striking as those from the main residence. Recent renovations created a separate bedroom adjoining the main living space, complemented by a kitchen area and bathroom. Removed from the activity of the main house, this inviting space offers an inspiring setting for writing, art, quiet reflection or visiting guests. Mature flowering trees and shrubs, established perennial gardens and a greenhouse complement the private setting.
