About This Property

Escape to your own private Vermont retreat with this beautiful log home, tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting surrounded by several acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, yet minutes from shopping and dining. From the stamped concrete patio and charming fish pond with waterfall to your very own putting green, this property was designed for enjoying life both indoors and out. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings and the warmth and character only a true log home can offer. The open-concept kitchen and dining area creates a wonderful gathering space, complete with a cozy breakfast nook and easy flow into the main living area:perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing at home. The first floor offers two bedrooms, a full bath and convenient laundry area, while the loft-style upper level creates a private primary retreat with bedroom and bath overlooking the surrounding mountain scenery. Outside, enjoy the spacious back deck, recently stained and ready for summer evenings, morning coffee or gatherings with friends. The home's entire exterior was also professionally sanded and stained this summer, giving the log construction a beautifully refreshed finish. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience, while the full basement offers even more usable space with a partially finished office and an expansive workshop perfect for hobbies, projects or storage. Private, beautifully maintained and full of character, this is more than a home: it's a property meant to be enjoyed.
