About This Property

Just minutes from Lake Champlain, this exceptional 5 acre Vermont homestead blends historic character with state of the art construction, energy efficiency, and thoughtful design. Built by the owner/builder and talented local craftspeople, the home reflects a passion for quality reclaimed materials and Vermont craftsmanship. At the heart of the home is an extraordinary 1830s Post & Beam frame salvaged from a building at Norwich Academy that was being dismantled. Carefully restored and incorporated into the new construction, the frame brings warmth, character, and a remarkable sense of place. Hickory boards from Shelburne Farms were crafted into the main-level flooring, while 100-year-old Vermont ash boards grace the second level. Vermont marble from Danby was used for the steps. The open first floor is filled with natural light and features a custom kitchen, a stone-fireplace living room, and a sunroom for gathering. Upstairs, the primary suite joins two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level offers a family room, custom designed second kitchen, private ensuite bedroom, and wine room, with walkout access to a welcoming stone patio overlooking the pond. Above the garage is a complete apartment with kitchen, bedroom, and bath. Energy efficiency is seamlessly integrated, with solar providing 100% of the home's electricity needs, complemented by mini-split heat pumps for heating and AC and radiant floor heat. Set on five peaceful acres, this classic Vermont Vernacular home feels naturally rooted in its landscape, private, peaceful, and stately, with architecture and land that seem meant to belong together.  Bike to the Charlotte beach or marina, hike Mount Philo or nearby conserved trail systems, enjoy terrific local restaurants, and be on the ski slopes in about an hour. A truly special Vermont property where history, craftsmanship, nature, and modern living come together in one remarkable place.

A rare offering in the heart of Charlotte, this extraordinary custom estate is a true showcase of Vermont craftsmanship at its finest. Completed in 2019 by Oak Hill Construction, the home was thoughtfully built using reclaimed timber-frame post-and-beam structures sourced from the historic Norwich Military Academy, along with carefully curated materials from barns, churches, and homes throughout Vermont and New England. Towering cathedral ceilings framed by hand-hewn Vermont beams, Hickory hardwood floors from Shelburne Farms, quarter-sawn Douglas Fir wainscotting, and a remarkable 1740s staircase sourced from New Hampshire, create interiors that feel both grand and deeply rooted in Vermont heritage. At the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen blends rustic elegance with modern luxury, featuring custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, overlooking the grounds and private pond. The adjoining living spaces are anchored by dramatic post-and-beam architecture and a stunning stone fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite offers Adirondack views, exposed timber framing, spa-inspired finishes, Verde Antique serpentine stone, and reclaimed steamboat doors from a historic 1860s steamboat. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexible living spaces. The walkout lower level features radiant heated floors crafted from salvaged Vermont slate roof tiles, handcrafted wine/root cellars, a second custom kitchen, and a beautifully finished bedroom suite. Outside, enjoy a private retreat with hand-built stone walls, granite staircases, perennial gardens, fruit orchards, a pond, and a beautifully finished post-and-beam three-car garage with ADU above. Awarded Vermont’s prestigious 5-Star Plus Energy Rating, the home also features owned solar and advanced high-efficiency systems. This is far more than a luxury home. It is a legacy Vermont estate where craftsmanship, history, and modern comfort come together in extraordinary fashion that would be nearly impossible to replicate.
