Contemporary Homes for Sale in Windham County, VT

Search Contemporary Homes for Sale in Windham County, VT

Windham County has been building contemporary houses since the postwar decades, when architects and second-home owners started designing for the county's steep sites and long views rather than against them. The result is a stock of open-plan homes with large window walls, cathedral ceilings and decks turned toward the Green Mountains, concentrated in the hill towns around Dover, Wilmington, Marlboro and Newfane. A number sit on several acres of woodland with a driveway climbing to the building site. Brattleboro Area Realty works these towns. Compare nearby inventory on the Newfane VT page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a contemporary home in Windham County, VT?

The style covers open-plan houses built from the mid twentieth century onward, usually with large glazing, cathedral or vaulted ceilings, and siting chosen for view rather than a symmetrical historical facade.

Where are they concentrated in the county?

Mostly in the hill and second-home towns, including Dover, Wilmington, Marlboro and Newfane, along with the ridges around Brattleboro where steep lots and long views suit the form.

Are these mainly second homes?

Many were built as second homes near the ski areas, though plenty are year-round residences. Insulation and heating systems vary widely across the era, so both are worth reviewing.
