Nestled among the trees in the hills of Braintree, this authentic log home offers the Vermont lifestyle buyers dream about. Warm wood tones, handcrafted log construction, soaring cathedral ceilings, and massive exposed beams create a one-of-a-kind lodge atmosphere that welcomes you from the moment you arrive.  The dramatic great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings, an impressive brick chimney, and an open loft overlooking the living space below. The spacious layout offers flexible living areas across multiple levels, including a generous primary suite with fireplace, dedicated office space, and a finished lower level with room for guests, recreation, hobbies, or remote work.  Step outside to enjoy the peaceful woodland setting and trickling stream from the screened porch, covered deck, or open-air gathering spaces. Surrounded by nature yet conveniently located within reach of Central Vermont amenities, this property offers privacy, character, and year-round enjoyment in every season.  Beyond the home, the property's wooded hillside acreage offers a private outdoor playground to explore and enjoy. Established switchback trails wind through the landscape, creating opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, ATV use (where permitted), snowshoeing, and accessing multiple potential hunting stand locations. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, hunter, nature lover, or simply seeking privacy and room to roam, the land provides a true Vermont recreation experience right outside your door.   Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or private Vermont retreat, this exceptional log home captures the beauty and lifestyle that make Vermont so special.
