Discover a truly one-of-a-kind Vermont retreat set on 10 acres of peaceful woodland and open meadow. Originally built as a family-run maple sugar shack, this architect-designed home has been thoughtfully reimagined and newly completed, seamlessly blending rustic charm with contemporary comfort to create a warm and inviting hideaway unlike anything else on the market. Post-and-beam construction, expansive views, and thoughtful design define the main residence, which offers two spacious bedrooms and cozy, character-filled living space inspired by its sugaring heritage. Complementing the main home is a charming one-bedroom Yurt—ideal for guests, a creative studio, or a quiet personal retreat. Wander the property to enjoy sun-dappled walking paths, open skies, and a tranquil pond that attracts abundant wildlife and enhances the sense of serenity. Efficiently designed with solar panels, this property offers both sustainability and comfort. Ideally located less than a quarter mile from access to the VAST snowmobile trail network and within easy reach of seven ski areas in southern Vermont as well as year-round recreation. A magical estate perfectly suited for a weekend sanctuary, creative escape, or distinctive Vermont homestead. A rare opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the extraordinary.
