HGTV Dream Home 2011 Location
The wait is over. Our 15th annual HGTV Dream Home is being built in …
After you watch the video, read more about the location and then participate in our poll — I’d really love to know your thoughts.
THANKS MARY !! THANKS JACK!! STOWE VERMONT IS BEAUTIFUL !!
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE GROUNDBREADING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
IT WAS ONE OF MY CHOICES…..YES!
if you go yo HGFVPro.com and search for Deam Home 2011 you can see some of the construction pictures so far….
Thanks Gerryin Cali. I tried earlier this morning and they werent up yet. I will check it out right now!
I would love to earn the opportunity to go and help Linda decorate the green home. I would love to leave my signature on the kids' room, and help around on the others. Please make my dream come true and fly me out to come help you dear dear Linnda. Thank you!
STOWE VERMONT! WOW! I've told my family if you cant find me I'll be in Stowe, Vermont. And here you are, building a "DREAM HOME" in Stowe,Vermont!
Likes very lovely!
I sold the house and land where the dream home is being built. It is a fabulous site with drop dead views. Couldn't be a better spot to own.Wonder who will get it. I'd be happy to list it.
Thank you for the info Peggy. How big is the lot? What was wrong with the existing house?
Hi Peggy — so nice to meet you! Are you allowed to give us more information? If not the actual address, can you at least tell us if it is possible to fence the property, if not for horses then at least for dogs? If you can give us more information be prepared to be bombarded with questions!
Oh, can you also tell us the size of the acreage? Thank you!
While I love New England and wish I were there now, I'm a little disappointed that New England will be the choice back to back, two years in a row.

?? Last year the Dream Home was in New Mexico! This year's Green Home was in New England, but for the first time — the two previous ones were in the Southeast.
Vermont is one of our most beautiful states. Clean air, no litter. LOVE it there. I am surprised that HGTV has never put a elevator in any of their multi story homes. A must for Baby Boomers
Just a suggestion……
YES. I KNEW IT.SPRUCE CREEK AT STOEW MT.RESORT.
I CAN SEE YOUR SO EXCITED TOO !
I FOUND IT. The location.THE DREAM LIVES.
YOU FOUND IT!!!! GREAT JOB!! : ) I was always impressed with that particular piece of information you found, about the HGTV rental.. You stuck with Vermont like glue.. You are a great detective.
I wish MARY would recognize that. I mean after all 12 weeks of digging in the trenches. I know more about VERMONT then I will ever be able to use.
Maybe you'll visit Vermont someday, and it will bring back fond memories. Oh dear has it been 12 weeks.. LOL I stopped counting, it got too depressing.
I tried to blog you back. but they won't let me.
YOU NAILED IT. You and Coop are a great team.
How sad you blew it for the rest of us. HGTV has someone in mind to win. Not going to waste my time.
THANKS Mary, Jack, Gail and HGTV for the BEAUTIFUL location for the 2011 Dream Home !!! It's so EXCITING !!!
DITTO ZOIE …ITS SO EXCITING !
Jane, you really are over here playing with the other kids. Do they know how funny you are yet?
Kathleen, you are too cute !!! I'm glad you are over here playing too …haha
!!!
I love that there is so much to do in the Winter and Summer ! Great Location with views of Mt.Mansfield!
I can't wait to see the House Plans and the surroundings.
Excellent pick HGTV DREAM HOME TEAM !!!!
I agree with you it is a wonderful location and the dream house fit their descriptive title
floor plans are on the site:
http://www.hgtv.com/dream-home/hgtv-dream-home-20…
One word……..GORGEOUS !!!!
Yes it's a Gorgeous place never been there but the video said it all. What a GREAT BLESSING is going to be for the Winner, Can wait to see it all come together. HGTV What A Great Pick.
Most Of All The GREAT TEAM YOU HAVE.
Okay maybe 2 words………….SPECTACULAR !!!!
SPRUCE PEAK AT STOWE VERTMONT …..CANT WAIT TO BE THERE !
Completely Awesome! I have been hemming and hawing between Stowe and Lake Winni in New Hampshire. Even though the numbers were a fit with Stowe, all the clue appeared to fit the island names on lake winni….. Amazing choice! I can't wait to follow the design and construction!
It's great to finally know the location of the 2011 Dream Home. I've never been to Vermont, but the video makes it look like a wonderful place to live and play. Can't wait to hear more about this new Dream Home and all the wonderful features it will have.
I might have to take my friend up on her offer to visit her in Vermont to go check out the progress on the dream home.
Hey, nice new picture ttsousa1. Instead of the usual, new house-new baby, you have a "New Picture". LOL I know I need to take the time to get me one up some day for they are much nicer than the gray heads. Ha!
Can't wait to take skiing lessons in Vermont and live in a wonderful HGTV DREAM HOME 2011
I'm looking forward to seeing floor plans. Lots of opportunities here for some first-class dreaming.
Hi StephenWNagy, it's sooo good to see you. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the house.
Thank You Mary for also putting back the HGTVPro pages!!!! I love the photos!
Could you post the link. I tried and they weren't up yet. Maybe I didn't type in the right stuff lol
I went to the HGTVPro site and couldn't find any photos.
Of course we want more
house plans – let me see HGTV Pro to see if they are up
Can't wait to see the Lot and Floor plans !!! I wonder who the builder is? I wonder if it has any acreage? I am gong to stick through the building process like gum baby!!
My links don't work- Gerry please post them again.
I didn't get to see the HGTV Pro pages yesterday before they were pulled. So, I am going there now to get a look. I think Vermont is delightful. I have never been there before, but I can't wait! Love all of you here and good dreaming. Thanks.
That was an amazing ride with all the clues. Now a new journey begins……
We can all keep dreaming and watching together as our Dream Home 2011 comes alive!!!
Here is the link:
http://www.hgtvpro.com/hpro/dh_2011/article/0,314…
Thanks!!
Thank you so much Gerry, for providing us this link. the pictures were great to see. Looks like they started the construction on May 20. Hummmm, I wonder where we were in our clues at that same moment. Looks like they have had great weather too. Only looks like it might have rained on June 5 and 6, which June 5 was my 41st Anniversary and we celebrated it at my favorite restaurant for Black &Blue Salmon and a wonderful salad bar and a free Mud Pie dessert of Coffee Ice Cream on a Chocolate crust. YUMMY! Huge too!
Thanks Gerry, enjoyed all the photo's. Almost 3:00 a.m. goodnite/morn'in
STOWE, VT is a spectacular choice!! I grew up about an hour way from Stowe and went to college in VT!
Beautiful place year round… Can't wait for the details on the home and property! A dreamer's DREAM!!
I am crying….its wonderful.
OK….so Wisconsin and NY are out. This looks like a beautiful area. W2G!
This is way to cool and can not wait to start putting my enters in for dreamhome 2011. Yea!!!!
I too wondered what I was seeing on HGTVPro a couple days ago and in a couple other places. I was so very wrong about the location I just kept digging further until I realized that it had "slipped" out. The pictures already tell a lot about the end project. It should be a real great one. And a beautiful choice of location! So now I agree with Annie…when can we start putting our entries in? Or sign up to be notified?
Does anyone know when we can start entering the 2011 Dream Home Contest?
Thank you.
January 1, 2011
I just looked at the video again and it really is a stunning area. I love having the Dream Home in a location where you can fully enjoy the four seasons in all there beauty !!!
I could never live where there weren't 4 seasons of the year. Born and raised in NJ, I'm used to all the above along with the shore.
There are 54 pictures of the construction so far… just follow the posted link above.
Hummm, I thought there was only 40 of them. I will have to go back and check out the rest.
Recheck them again. There are actually 74 pictures.
I've never been there either, but that is one area that my husband and I have always wanted to see. Thank you HGTV. We have a lot of the same in the NW, so next year consider this area. Can't wait to watch it become the Dream House. Absolutely loved the 2010 Dream House.
I agree Jacque, I hope Jack Thomason will consider the Northwest for the Green Home 2011, that would be nice, specially in Washington State, its the evergreen state!
You can put me on the NW band wagon too!
We can all thank dreamn-again for discovering the HGTVPro pages yesterday…. they weren't supposed to be posted yet…. but since they were found…. and quite a few bloggers peeked… perhaps Mary and Jack's hands were seen and they were a little forced to give us the reveal….. Thanks again dreamn-again! Kudos to you!
Mary please explain the clues. We are sorry that we spoiled your surprise by finding the location yesterday. We would love to play again next year and it would be great if we know how you think that the clues link to the dream home location.
Yes, I agree. I would love to know if we interpreted the clues (individually) correctly. I'm pretty sure clue one was Honey spoon= Honeymoon. Please let us know, puzzles are fun, but we need to see the correct answers. Thanks.
zpdedoda, I missed seeing that connection with the honey and spoon to mean Honeymoon, but that is a good one. Yes, Mary as I have already asked, I would love to see exactly what the matches were to your clues. My guess now for the "Big Girl's Don't Cry" was for the "Four Seasons" of whom sung that song, and refers to the four season location of Vermont. And obviously the last number clue of 4393 was for the Mansfield Mountain elevation. Curious about the Wrong Way clue and others. This was one state I did not do my research on since so many others were already doing it. Thanks for delighting us with the clue details in the future. Please!
I think DenSteve was the one who came up with the Wikepedia link that showed all the clues. You might ask him nicely. "Mean Mary" will never tell! ^_^
heck- if it wasn't spoiled then it may have not been "revealed."
YEAH! I guessed it!
I haven't been to Vermont since I was a child, but the video looks just like i remember it.
Can't wait to see the Dream Home!
Duw to the lack of activity on the blog, I am thinking the HGTVPro site is being overdun with bloggers….LOL
>over run
PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT MY NEGAVTIVE THUMB PROBLEM, AND FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO FIX THEM. I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THE DAY!!!!! : o )
BESIDES, A PERSON CAN LOOK AT MY COMMENT STREAM TO SEE IF I'M A GOOD BLOGGER. ; )
I HAVE FOUND AN OLD PAIR OF GLASSES AND HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM……
I FOUND A PERMANENT MARKER AND HAVE DRAWN A LINE STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF EACH LENSE. SO IF I FIND THAT I HAVE SOME PECULIAR HORIZONTAL LINES NEXT TO THE THUMBS ON THE RIGHT, I WILL JUST PUT ON MY HAPPY GLASSES WITH A VERTICAL LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE AND I WILL DECLARE …..
"WOW SOMEONE THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT COMMENT"!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HGTV DREAM TEAM AND ALL WHO STUCK WITH VERMONT. WE ALL WORKED HARD FOR NUMEROUS WEEKS AND HAD FUN.
No worries Cami, just enjoy the day with us….LOL don't you worry at all about those thumbs… we KNOW you are a good blogger.
We LOVE you! Keep on blogging:-)
Don't worry Cami but please don't post all caps- they hurt my eyes!
No worries that was the only time today.
I can't wait to see a floor plan! What do you expect?
I'm not sure if they said or not…But with a tiny lot, I would think they might go with at least 3 floors. It looks like it will have a nice view. I am guessing they will put in a hot tub, and if 3 floors maybe an elevator. There are plenty of pools at the resort, but I would still like a small exercise pool, don't think that will happen though.. Unless they have a sponsor like Endless Pools.
I suppose I would be over stepping my bounds if I called Endless Pools and suggested they give Jack a call.
I see a thoroughly FABULOUS spa/hot tub with this one!!
Ha! That is funny Cami. But Hey, what can they do to ya, give you a thumbs down? LOL I love your cool new glasses so you don't have to worry about that anymore. Ha! You are such a delightful Blogger and we all love you very much.
Hopefully if it more then one level there is either an elevator, or a master on the main level.
Glad to read you. Glad you are back. Hugs.
Coop is already designing 2012 Dream Home in Hawaii.
There couldn't be a better designer for the Hawaii Dream Home. With his Thailand/Balinese/tropical style knowledge. Now if only he can convince Jack. Lets all send happy Hawaiian thoughts to Jack this year.
When Coop finishes his design, maybe we can all campaign HGTV with him…
Done. I told Debra that it should be Hawaii in 2012 and Virginia in 2013. Although, I like the thought of the Dream Vacation Home as a separate contest from DH and GH. Maybe the Travel Channel will take it on. I will have to check out their blogs to see if we can start pestering them.
Pester away.. The Travel Channel could use something new and improved, with the exception of Samanth Brown, I love her. I still think she should have a sidekick though..It's kind of depressing to watch her vacation alone.
I LOVE her! And, I am willing to be her gaffer so I can go to all those FAB places:-)
I didn't know you were an electrical engineer? My you are talented! ^_^
So many secrets, so little time…LOL.
I'll give you two LOL LOLs for that one & a thumbs up Debra!
Debra. you would make a great Samantha Brown travel friend.. I wonder how many vacation shoots she does per year.
Perhaps I should ask…? Hmmm….:-)
Or you could just go for your own show.. They have a lot of eating shows on the Travel Channel. Perhaps you could have your own Travel Dessert Show, with a main focus on cake of course.
OMG, that would be the DREAM job!!! Let Andrew Zimmer eat bugs and carcasses, cake works great for meLOL!!!!
I don't really like the gross bug show and the pig out show on the Travel Channel. Nothing against the hosts at all, I'm sure they are wonderful people. Last time I looked, those were their only regular shows besides, Samantha Brown. I guess my biggest problem with their main show line up is it's unbalanced. It seems more like another food channel, than a travel channel. I do like the specials they tend to show on the weekends. 'Course a lot are re runs. I guess my point is, more adventure and places that an American is more likely to go, with a little food mention on the side. Maybe you could have your own show, with your husband and travel the world, and I'll have my own show and show traveling North America with a big crazy family.. Mine might be more suited for a comedy channel. LOL.
LOL!! We would be very entertaining for some, I'm certain. Traveling with Mr & Mrs. Magoo LOL!
I bet you could spend a whole year showing everyone all the delights of Hawaii, Cami!!!! ^_^
Pineapple Rum cake for you, Coop!
I would love to help design that one!
Hey there you. I'm sooooo glad that you are back. You have been missed. Guess you have been really busy or something. How about the wonderful Jack T. I guess that we found him. Tag he's it. J/K. Stowe, VT it is. AWESOME!!!!
Yeah!!Wow!!!LOL!!!wonderful, Did i say i Love it. The next few months are going to be fun watching it come together. I Know it is going to be breathtaking. Thanks for the reveal, going to th hgtvpro to look at the videos.
Yippee!!! Stowe, Vermont!! The wait has finally paid off. I am sure that it will be a beautiful location for Dream Home 2011. I am so excited to receive this news. Thanks to Jack and Mary!
YAAAAAA! WHOOO HOOO! STOWE, VERMONT! SPRUCE PEAK! Thank you Mary and Jack! You have made our day! I have never been to Vermont but I can show you how fast I can relocate!! hehe Beverly
I just Love next years location. Yay for snow!!!
If I win, I want Jack to teach me to snow board!!!!
Did you notice his coat.Good old O D green.
I wrote this before, but was told it was worth repeating so here is my feeling about skiing:
As for me I will not let a thing like a full on face plant which resulted in a LOVELY black eye, deter me from learning to do something that I apparently should already be pretty good at by virtue of my figure skating skills.
Note to ski instructors EVERYWHERE: Ice skating and skiing are not even close to being similar! We are talking legions apart, oceans away, from one universe to the next diametrically opposed to each other. And to that six-year old that whizzed by just as my face hit the ground, it is not nice to laugh at adults just because they scream on the way down…
Can't wait to see you on the half-pipe! LOL LOL
Ha! I am serious, I think I am switching to a snow board and Jack has to teach me!
And, I think the ski resorts should follow suit with the country club pool time and designate an adults only period! You know, a loud speaker will announce "Anyone under the age of 18, off the slopes!"
The slopes? I second that Debra. I've always thought hockey gear would be appropriate apparel on the beginner's slope.
My sons ski and snow board. Snow boardin is harder Debra. You don't have any ski poles and both your feet are strapped in. No schushing your feet to move! Better stick with the skis. Just learn to stop and turn! ^_^
Now that's funny! I have had those little h——–s fly by me when I was learning. Of course I got back at a few of them, when I couldn't stop until their bodies stopped me! ^_^
I have gotten back at a few skiers in my day too. LOL, to their unfortunate surprise.
It's a good feeling. As long as they bounce back up! ^_^
Ya know Debra. They do have protective eyewear for skiers. I am guessing you found that out after the fact. 'Course who would think to wear them cross country skiing. That darn 6 yr. old meanie.
As hard as my face hit I think I would need a full coverage helmet. But, I will not give up! Bring on the snow!
You go girl !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Don't skiers wear helmets too. I think there is a ski company out there that can cover you from head to toe..
Funny thing, I was so busy shopping for my perfectly matched Helly Hansen jacket and pants, I completely forgot to visit the "safety" aisle. Duh. I looked very chic though, when I hit ground LOL!!!!
You know Stowe Mt. Resort has an area for trick snow board riding, did you see that video yet? I would love to see you jump up on that rail and glide across, like a pro.
The main ski instructor that rides a motorcycle on the STOWKED video, does some fancy tricks and he isn't that young. 50's or 60's.
Ha ha ha! You are a laugh riot!
Chic is everything. Good job.
Thank you! If figure if they are going to cart me off on a gurney, I should at least look good doing it LOL!!
And here I used to think you were joking about those past fashion comments! I guess not! It must be a gal thing! ^_^
Ed, fashion is no laughing matter (well, in some cases it is, but I digress…). A girl had got to look good in order to ski well! You're a man, you wouldn't get that part, but trust me, it is IMPORTANT!
So my holey Levis and raggedy sweat shirt wouldn't cut it in your fashion circles? ^_^
Well, Ed, it depends on the function..;-) LOL!
Apres ski of course! ^_^
i like that full face plant comment!!! Where did you get that term? ^_^
When she first said the "full face plant", I thought she was referring to reconstructive plastic surgery. Then I got it.
No folks, it is the "full" impact of your "face," "planted" into the ground. No shovel required…
Good thing there was some snow to soften the blow! ^_^
Oh, were it the case, that would have been nice. It was solid ICE. I mean bone cracking, glasses breaking, face bruising solid concrete ice.
OUCH!
Yeah- I was thinking that I would need to learn a snow sport…heck, that would probably be one of the featured activities on the winner's weekend.
Think Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation movie. They could put you on one of those snow discs and let you fly down the hill. No previous experience is required! It would be so much fun and provide hours of entertainment to all the other bloggers as we watch over and over as you go screaming down the hill with no means of stopping short of the tree that is swiftly approaching in your path!!
Thanks Debra G for reminding me about the Christmas Vacation Movie. What a classic that one is, and I always watch it around the holidays when things get hectic to lighten the days and weeks ahead.
I'm sure there is probably a tubing run somewhere…that's a good start for those of us who have never even hit the bunny slopes.
ROFL Debra, that has got to be the best one of the day. I love Chevy Chase. You told that story so perfectly. I am laughing so hard, I am crying..
We LOVE that movie! I swear I go through a box of Kleenex every time we watch it LOL!!!
Yea that would be awesome!!! But first I have to let my hand heal. I broke it about 6 weeks ago riding a mini-bike into a fence, but that was a lot of fun.
WE LOVE YOU HGTV!!! Beverly
P.S. Did I say I was excited and happy for ALL BLOGGERS yet?!! hehehe Beverly 
Look at how they trow down the house that was allreary on that land. When i frist saw tha foundation, I though the house next door was way to close. In building turms that is call a scrape and build. And did you notice the white pipe around the foundation under all that sand? That is called an french drain. no water in your basment ever.
I was thinking the same thing about the white house being too close. Oui, Oui, on the French drain, although with that slope you wouldn't think water would stick around long.
Just think, you can step right out the front door and ski right down that slope. Or in my case tumble down gracefully.
Keeps water from getting under the house. That way none of the cement will ever heve.
I guess they build everything first class, especially when the world is watching your work.
When I lived in NH, there were whole stretches of road that heaved every winter,so I know what you mean. When water freezes, it can cause a lot of havoc. I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it.
Densteve, you are not only the Best clue guesser, you are so smart with construction facts. Thanks for all your explanations. I wondered to what that white building was but I thought there were only 40 pictures so I have not seen the last 14 or so to see it get torn down. How big do you think the lot is? I thought it looked small also for putting up a house like the type in on the video.
I thought the same thing. One thing for sure they didn't have to wait for utilities to be developed for the homesite since there was an existing dwelling. I wonder if the area was hit by the late snow that hit the New England area. I think so.
Thank God no water in basement. That's why we lost so much stuff to black mold in that crappy old base housing mess we lived in while in NY. I wanted someone to videotape when they knocked that place down before building new houses for my own closure but nobody did. Oh well. It's been so long now, I no longer have nightmares about it anymore. Basements are great to have. That is one of the things I do miss about NY.
When I looked at the first pictures I thought the same thing. It was looking like a zero lot home for awhile. I didn't notice the French Drain at first but I do now! Of course I just did a quick skim through the pictures yesterday before they shut the link down! That's my excuse & I am sticking to it! ^_^ Good eyes!
I was wondering what was going to happen with that building!
French drains are great. The house I grew up in had french drains and we didn't have trouble with flooded basements. The only thing we needed was a de-humidifier.
The hills are alive with the sound of music. I love it. Now when do we all receive our Ben And Jerry free icecream coupons?? What? We aren't getting any.. ; (
Did you notice they showed the B&J sign on Jack's video? Maybe they'll stock the freezer in the DH kitchen.
Yeah, but if they do that I'll have to watch someone else win all that yummy icecream. Just like I watched someone else win all those Lindt Truffles. : ( Torture all over again.
Guess what my mosaics teacher brought for the class Cami? Lindt Truffles! I let out a scream funny but in the same class a woman had on a huge snake ring and I let out a scream. Can't ever explain to them why I do that they just say HUHH! and shake their heads!. Oh by the way Cami did you see the poem I wrote for you last night?
No I don't think I did. I have been trying to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, so I can stay ahead of my boys.. I'll check it out.
I hope you enjoyed a few lindt truffles. But I gotta tell ya, chocolate makes my sinuses go crazy. That doesn't always stop me though.
They better have a seperate chest freezer in the basement to keep my horde happy for long! ^_^
Just put it outside in the winter! With your horde, Sam's Club 5 gal buckets are probably more like it.
I wouldn't want to be accused of attracting bears to the neighborhood! Coop wouldn't like that! Those five gallon buckets last almost two days once they are opened. Of course I am just as guilty as the kids. It's tha New England addiction to ice cream – I can't help it! ^_^
Coupons and a tour, if we make it to Vermont.
Why thank you boomer. I might take you up on that! ^_^
LOL.. Where does boomer live?? Can we all fit in her van? Oh wait that's right she lives more East I think. Ed, we might have to hitchhike.
I"ll drive Cami! I've made the cross country trip a "few" times! ^_^
Great!! Do you have a bus we can all pile into?
This is the first home that I have followed from first clue to reveal. All I can say is that I am really impressed with how great your guys are at working, the clues, and figuring it all out so early into the game. GOOD JOB.
I'm not very good at figuring these things out, but it was a great adventure to sit by and watch you guys do your magic! I'm especially impressed by the fact that it was weeks ago that we bloggers were viewing the promo about the Stow resort.
We can't all be detectives, some of us are cheerleaders. It's been great fun for me all the way. Go Team!
Anne you kept us all entertained…I am still laughing about the straight jacket/french motel story. Thank you Madame. Maybe we should bring it back for one last laugh.
Welcome back Cami, I missed you. Like I said I'm a better cheerleader, it was a great adventure for sure. We need to crack open a glass of Chateau La feet, and drink it out of a s h o e!
I'm not familiar with wine, but I am guessing drinking out of a s h o e would help to give it that expensive, well aged flavor people seem to like. What words would a wine expert give to describe the taste of wine drunk from a- s h o e ? Probably depends on the type of shoe. For instance, the difference between a pair of high style New York pumps would give a totally different flavor than a pair of well used Vermont men's boots.
Probably in Vermont it would be ducks. Leather hiking boots with rubber about 2'' up from sole.
Can't guarantee what it'll taste like, probably better stick to a glass of apple cider, in a regular glass. that would be a fitting Vermont drink. Cold cider in the summer, hot mulled cider in winter.
How about a "SNOW-S h o e"? Cami, you and I can drink white sparkling grape juice.
Yummy I love the sparkle in my pop and juice.
"La Feet" I love it! I will remember that one! That's not quite how we spelled it when I took French though! LOL
Well Ed. we'll call it poetic license, plus the fact is, Sr. Mary Agnes, is never going to see how I spelled it.
She was elderly then, and I don't want to do the math to figure out how many years ago that was! As they say sometimes "Ignorance is Bliss".
Sounds like one of my nuns from Notre Dame du bon Conseil!
if I have to be a stowe away, I will. Take to me to Vermont, HGTV.
Cute play on words, wish I'd thought of that!
Let the dreaming begin!! Congratulations, Vermonters!! Stowe is a beautiful place to live and
ski—-can't wait to see the house!
Thank you Gerry- my gratitude. I gave you an extra thumbs up!
What I see:
A walk out lower level (probably 2 stories above that?) wondering if they put in a steel beam or two to support the weight in the back.
No idea of what outside spaces will be included.
2 car garage on the right front.
Not a very big foot print- I say that because of the size of the garage compared to the rest.
Unusual shape – I bet to claim the best views.
They did an amazing amount of work between June 5 and June 15. WOW!
Great job Jack! And a great job moving the location around the country!
I love it! We honeymooned there. Fantastic choice!
Bobbi. would you say it has modern appeal as well as the historic craft culture?
Stowe, Vermont is definitely a DREAM location. Thank you so much for a perfect destination!!!
Thanks for the video, but my those blueprints go by awfully fast…
The scenery is stunning…the activities are endless…a laid back atmosphere and fresh air, fresh air, fresh air, I LOVE IT!!!
WHERE's the video???
Right above the comments. Look up ^
Just click on the light house picture.
What beautiful views! Vermont is so lovely, a perfect spot for DH 2011! Can't wait to see the floor plans and all. Since I'm a northeast coaster i don't mind the snow at all. And wait until you see the beautiful fall colors in person. They're exquisite! It truly is a house for all seasons. never been to Stowe but have been to Vermont in the summer and it has all Jack said it has to offer. Can't wait for the building to begin!!!!!!!!
I just checked out the construction photos. There's 54 total so far. The last one you can already is the shape of the Dream Home 2011 from the back. I believe it is the back view of the Home because you can see the 2 car garage flat concrete shape.
The Home is on neslted in the mountains. It's going to have spectacular views.
This is very exciting !
I think its the front and the views are at the back of the house!
Possibly. But I think the views are going to be all around the house!
if you look carefully at the pictures at HGTVPRO you will see the road in front of the house. The garage is in the back of the house.
I am STOKED about STOWE…
but my husband won't be – he HATES cold weather.
So, I guess it will be my dream home and not his but I'm sure he'll come along. After all, he loves waffles and pancakes and REAL maple syrup. He'll just have to stay in by the fire or in the hot tub or dry sauna (a must have for a true spa feel in a resort location) until the weather warms up to his liking.
Thanks for picking such a picturesque setting!
Fireplaces and hot choclate, hot cider and hot toddies were invented for those of us who freeze.
And good books, granny afghans, and quilts.
