I loved the house, so when I returned to Massachusetts and Cape Cod, I wanted another Connor Home. Mike Connor and his team are superb to work with in designing the home. What is best about the house is that design, the layout and its outstanding millwork – cabinetry, door and window frames, moldings … I just love it, as do my neighbors! If you are considering building a home, I highly recommend a Connor Mill-Built Home. **★★★★★ — Matthew Wall, April 2019** > My wife and I finally moved into the Timothy Wells Connor Mill built home at The Settlement at Hobbs Farm in Wells, Maine. We absolutely love the home. It is gorgeous and the craftsmanship really sets this home apart from other new homes in Wells and Kennebunk. The home fits very well within the New England farmhouse vernacular and folks have asked us if we renovated an old Maine farmhouse (I suppose from a short distance it has that appearance). Our previous home was built in 1824 and as much as we loved that old Maine farmhouse, we simply did not have the free time that home deserved for the endless renovations it required to keep it going. We wanted to let you all know that we're delighted to live in one of your well crafted homes. We hope to live and grow old with this home and raise our daughter in this lovely community. Thank you for bringing your craftsmanship from Vermont to Maine. We hope you will be able to build more of your unique homes in at The Settlement at Hobbs Farm or elsewhere in Maine. > > Matthew Wall & Erica England **★★★★★ — newhomes2u, Aug. 2015** > I have been a new home aficionado for over 40 years. New homes and construction are my passion, and my life! I have always truly believed that a homes parts, constructed in a controlled environment, is the finest way to the best quality possible for a new home. > Connor Homes not alone achieves this to it best possible end, but they couple it with authenticity and period finishes that are impossible to match anywhere else. > Connor Homes is simply the ONLY CHOICE for anyone looking for a period home, with the most authentic, period-correct finishes, and the utmost attention precision fit and detail...all at a competitive price point. Look no further than Connor Homes if you demand the best value in the marketplace today! **★★★★★ — Lisa Tharp Design, Nov. 2013** > Connor Homes is the real deal. Their way of doing business appealed to me on several levels: > 1\. Their aesthetic is classic and authentic, which fit the requirements of my project's historic location. > 2\. Prefabrication off-site provides a faster build, less waste, and protects your building envelope from the elements. > 3\. Precision-milled architecture gives you control over the final product. > 4\. Service is outstanding, from founder Mike Connor, who sets the tone from the top, to his development team lead by Gail Rice, and, above all, the tireless architect Steve Haskell, for his commitment to getting the design right. > > I would highly recommend considering them for your next project. ## Selected projects - [Christiana Saeger: Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/christiana-saeger-farmhouse-pj-vj~313433) - Location: Chatham, NY - Photos: 11 - Description: This traditional looking farmhouse hides the fact that it is a modern model of sustainability. Honored with LEED certification, this house uses both passive and solar energy and super insulation from foundation to attic. Panelized construction, low VOC paint, reclaimed flooring and light fixtures, ICF foundation, high efficiency boiler and appliances as well as low-flow toilets allow these homeowners to leave a lighter footprint behind while gracing the landscape with a charming farmhouse fittin… - [Susanna Halley: Federal Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/susanna-halley-federal-farmhouse-pj-vj~314254) - Location: New Haven, VT - Photos: 22 - Description: This house built in 2001 evokes the Federal era in its styling and proportions, but may be called a New England farmhouse due to the wrap around porches. New England farmhouses were often less ornamented than their in-town neighbors, but still contained stylistic elements such as decorated entries and rooflines with crown moulding. Farmhouses often began as center hall colonials. As the farm and the family grew, additions and outbuildings were added nearby or in some cases directly to the house.… - [Lucy Sayre: Greek Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lucy-sayre-greek-revival-pj-vj~812188) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: The Connor Mill-Built Homes Lucy Sayre house is a style rarely seen in today’s new building offerings, but was a prolific style in the early Eighteen Hundreds. It is decidedly Greek Revival, and interestingly, this particular configuration was generally built as a moderately priced house in its day. It is often erroneously referred to as a Greek Revival Cape, but has little to do with that vernacular, except that it shares the common feature of a one storey house with living space on the second… - [Helena Woolsley: Greek Revival Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/helena-woolsley-greek-revival-farmhouse-pj-vj~313234) - Location: Charlotte, VT - Photos: 14 - Description: This lovely Greek revival farmhouse in Vermont was an adaptation of The Halm Gifford House found in our catalog. The interior spaces were designed to reflect the homeowner's wish for an open floor plan and an attached barn. (Photos by Jim Westphalen Photography) - [Anna Wynants: Colonial Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/anna-wynants-colonial-revival-pj-vj~299887) - Location: Delanson, NY - Photos: 16 - Description: The exterior boasts a symmetrical facade with a projecting center gable framed by fluted pilasters and pediment. The front entry is cased with a custom fanlight and ornamental surround. Above a custom Palladian window opens the second floor hall to the easterly views and the projecting pediment, dons an ornamental elliptical window. Fluted pilasters on the corners support a heavy frieze, dentils and decorative cornice at the roof which is capped by red cedar shingles. A stone clad foundation anc… - [Margaret Fitzgibbon: Georgian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/margaret-fitzgibbon-georgian-pj-vj~313284) - Location: Brandon, VT - Photos: 23 - Description: This stately home evokes both formal in-town elegance in the details and rural agrarian roots in the New England farmhouse massing. The style distinctly borrows from the Georgian period with details such as dentil mouldings and modillions, overhanging eaves, 12/12 windows, end chimney and high ceilings. (Photos by Jim Westphalen Photography). - [Conrad Oakland: Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/conrad-oakland-cottage-pj-vj~313447) - Location: Ferrisburgh, VT - Photos: 18 - Description: This charming and unique lakeside cottage makes use of every square foot of space. Exterior finishes include natural eastern white cedar shingles on the facade and custom built sliding barn doors of solid pine with a flared shield above to protect the entry from snow and ice. The main living space is open and centered around a wood stove with dining space on one side and a family room on the other. Adding to the light, open feel, French doors invite occupants to experience the spacious screened-… - [Captain Price: Georgian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/captain-price-georgian-pj-vj~314179) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - Description: The handsome Captain Price House features a wide front porch, Palladian window and heavy Georgian era trim elements. The larger elements under the roofline are called modillions and the smaller elements below are called dentils. Note the fluted corner pilasters. Similar detailing can be found on the Dorothea Harwell and Benjamin Morrow Houses. (Photos by Jim Westphalen Photography) - [Halm Gifford: Greek Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/halm-gifford-greek-revival-pj-vj~1136375) - Location: Woodstock, VT - Photos: 13 - Description: Less than a year after it was built, this Greek revival home was featured in a course on architectural style for the Woodstock Historical Society. The custom kitchen was designed to blend characteristics of a modern-day kitchen with the traditional feel of the rest of the home's interior finishes. (Interior photos by Jim Westphalen Photography). - [Timothy Wells: Georgian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timothy-wells-georgian-pj-vj~299884) - Location: Cornwall, VT - Photos: 15 - Description: This New England home was inspired by the original details of the historic Wells Thorn House which still stands in Deerfield, Massachusetts. This deceptively simple Georgian home with its strict symmetrical facade carries some very detailed features from the Georgian era. The heavy modillion mouldings found underneath the roofline eave are balanced by the window heads above the first story windows. Another interesting detail to note is the overhanging gable end which draws from the earliest Medi… - [Mary Bearce: Federal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mary-bearce-federal-pj-vj~314305) - Location: Harvard, MA - Photos: 14 - Description: This home is most closely associated with the Federal style. The facade is formal with fluted side pilasters. The asymmetrical front was created to "loosen up" the exterior and give it a friendlier, country feel. The doorway features a delicate tracery in the fan lite above the doorway. The front entrance is an original design, drawn from a composite of several historic, Federal style doorways. The kitchen wing looks as if it was added later as was typical in the evolution of a house over time. - [John Belknap Carriage House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/john-belknap-carriage-house-pj-vj~313165) - Location: Hinesburg, VT - Photos: 12 - Description: This Greek revival Carriage Barn is a beautiful example of one of Connor Mill-Built Homes Barns for Living. With a two-bay garage and additional storage the homeowners enjoy two-floor living with an open floor plan and lovely amenities making this a great get-away home, guest cottage or permanent residence. This barn was designed with Greek revival details, sliding barn doors on both ends and a second floor balcony to enjoy the view.

(Photos by Jim Westphalen Photography) - [Ellis Matthews: Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ellis-matthews-lake-house-pj-vj~313327) - Location: Colchester, VT - Photos: 13 - Description: The house was designed with two strategies in mind. First, make the house as naturally energy efficient as possible before mechanical systems were employed. And second, allow the inside and outside to integrate harmoniously. The house was sited for maximum solar exposure during the winter and shading overhangs were designed and calculated to keep the house cool in the summer. In addition, these overhangs protect doors and thresholds from weather for longer durability. The beautiful high energy e… - [Oaker Phillips](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oaker-phillips-pj-vj~314244) - Location: Salmon Arm, BC - Photos: 5 - Description: The Oaker Phillips house was built in our factory in Vermont and then shipped to British Columbia. The incomparable workmanship of a Connor Mill-Built Home coupled with an innovative and efficient production process makes our homes desirable and viable options across the globe. - [Eleanor Townsend: Shingle Style Dutch Gambrel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eleanor-townsend-shingle-style-dutch-gambrel-pj-vj~313306) - Location: Panton, VT - Photos: 25 - Description: This custom home borrows from a few different styles to take advantage of its lakeside setting. Combining a Dutch Gambrel roofline with Shingle style details and a gracious columned entry portico on the front, the rear features a shed dormer, wide covered porch and pergola to extend the living space outdoors. (Interior Photos by Jim Wesphalen) - [Rebecca Chipman: Greek Revival Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rebecca-chipman-greek-revival-farmhouse-pj-vj~1391684) - Location: Charlotte, VT - Photos: 22 - Description: This home, completed in 2007, nestles into its setting against the Green Mountains. A Greek revival farmhouse style, this home uses metal roofing instead of traditional wood roofing. This is commonly seen in Northern New England to help shed the snow load during a harsh winter and is most commonly used on barns and outbuildings.

Just a stunning house and setting. A: Thanks for the love Josh! **Q: What roofing product is used on the Fitzgibbons home?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for your question. The roofing material is red cedar shake. **Q: Screens or Windows with Screens?** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a beautiful room! We are starting a new house that shows the side and back porches are screened-in porches and we are not sure whether or not they will be hard to keep clean. We have thought about making the side porch a room with many windows that roll out with screens instead. Does this room have windows with screens, or just screens? A: Just screens, but the room could be customized to include both! **Q: Beautiful home. Who made the newell post?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The newell post is made by our master craftsmen in our Middlebury, VT millshop! **Q: Are these kitchen cabinets white or cream?** *(in Photo Questions)* It appears the cabinets and trim are cream and the countertops white. It's quite a beautiful combination, however, white cabinets sometimes appear cream in the photos. A: Thank you for your question. The countertops and cabinet color were chosen by the client and unfortunately we do not have information on the cabinet paint color. It does look as thought the cabinet color is a bit creamier! We recommend using Benjamin Moore paint and perhaps a local Benjamin Moore paint dealer could help match the color. **Q: Paint color name for siding? Thanks:)** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The color was selected by the client. We recommend using Benjamin Moore Paints. This looks very similar to their Jamestown Blue (HC-148) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
