Susan Sarandon, the celebrated star of “Dead Man Walking,” sought solace in the mountains of Vermont, dreaming of an off-the-grid sanctuary for her golden years.
Yet, a federal lawsuit paints a picture of broken promises and shattered dreams as a Massachusetts builder, hired to manifest her vision, is now under fire for alleged deception and shoddy craftsmanship.
Susan Sarandon Builder: A Sustainable Haven in Vermont
Sarandon’s ambition was simple but ambitious: a sustainable single-family home on a 45-acre tract, a stone’s throw from Massachusetts.
The property would not only serve as her retirement haven but would be an eco-friendly domain for her children and grandchildren.
The vision included food sourced from an onsite garden, solar-powered electricity, fresh water from a well, and temperature regulated by geothermal energy.
To fund this $2 million dream, Sarandon made a heart-wrenching decision – selling her New York City residence where memories spanned a quarter-century.
