Best of both worlds! Wildlife and nature surround you with 3 acres, your own private pond, and wooded mountain view - yet easy access to Route 15! House is set back and down from road so that you barely even know it is there. 20 foot deck allows for optimal wildlife viewing. Owners have seen moose, bear, deer, beavers, and otters. Classic ski chalet feel with vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and large windows. Pretty kitchen has ample cabinet and counter space. The daylight walk-out basement could be the perfect in-law suite by merely adding a kitchen. It already has large egress windows and a separate entrance. All rooms have large closets. Circular driveway allows for plenty of parking. Convenient location just 11 miles to Essex and 13 miles to Smuggler's Notch ski area. The quaint quintessential Vermont villages of Underhill, Jericho, Jeffersonville, and Stowe are all nearby. The airport is just 30 minutes while downtown Burlington is 35. Easy access to Underhill's recreational opportunities including nearby hiking trails at Mills River Park and Underhill State Park with trails to the ridgeline of Mt. Mansfield. Approximately 10 minutes to Underhill Elementary School and the impressive Mt. Mansfield Union High School as well as the locally famous Casey Sliding Hill. Just 5 minutes to the new Jericho Market featuring organic Vermont sourced food and brew items. This home is perfect for a primary residence or a Vermont vacation retreat!
