At the end of a country road, down a private driveway, you emerge from the lovely woods to a high meadow of rolling land dotted with apple trees & surrounding mountain views. At the center of this seemingly secret location is a magnificent post & beam home lovingly built by the current owner, often using stones & timber from the land. The soaring ceilings & huge windows offer spectacular views from every room. The massive stone fireplace is a work of art with local stones & granite. Two fireplaces & a French wood stove keep everything cozy on long winter nights. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has a gas range, Sub Zero fridge, & lots of counter space. All hardwood floors on the first floor are gleaming. Two bedrooms & a full bath are also on the main level. Upstairs has a spacious primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom, another bedroom, full bathroom, & office space. The land has many trails for hiking, running, cross-country skiing, etc. A spring fed pond is down a shady path, perfect for swimming & also great for skating & pond hockey. Best of all, this land is permanently conserved & much of the neighboring land is also conserved - approximately 1,000 acres of pristine forest slowly returning to primeval woods. 22 acres on this property allows for one more house to be built - perfect for a compound! The EV charging station is a nice plus! 20 mins to Montpelier & within an hour to Sugarbush, Stowe, Bolton, & Killington.
