I'm 5-10 years away from it, but hoping to do the same thing. Check out Unity Homes in Keene, NH. That's who I'm looking at for the build.

Some joke about, if you are 5-10 years out, you should start scheduling now, tradespeople in new England are.pretty slammed, lol.

I've been interested in passive solar for decades, ever since I read an old backwoods home magazine article, about a couple who built one in northern Michigan, that was designed to store a years thermal energy so it averaged out the yearly temp, not the daily. This article has lit a fire under me to do more on it. Been thinking how to convert my house here in Vermont.

Was this the home that had the basement full of sand or something that stores the heat from the summer in some way?
