18 Acres set within a private, storybook landscape just minutes from the world-class skiing of Stowe & Jay Peak, this contemporary Vermont mountain retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort & connection to nature. Sweeping views of rolling meadows, mature woodlands & Green Mountains create a peaceful backdrop for everyday living. Enjoy a true sanctuary, featuring perennial landscaping, established gardens, fruit & nut trees with a fully equipped greenhouse—ideal for farm-to-table living & self-sufficiency. Wildlife sightings are part of daily life, with deer, wild turkeys, songbirds & the occasional fox or owl, while nearby trails, streams, & open spaces invite year-round outdoor recreation, exploration & quiet reflection. Inside, the home is warm, welcoming & thoughtfully designed. An expansive eat-in designer kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing custom natural wood cabinetry, a commercial-grade oven & walk-in pantry. The open living area feature a gas stove & flows seamlessly to a generous deck with breathtaking long-range views, perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or unwinding beneath star-filled skies. A first-floor primary suite offers comfort & privacy, while the second level—currently a spacious studio—provides flexible potential for expanded living use with 5 BR WW permit. A charming half-story guest suite with bath adds inviting accommodations & the partially finished basement offers excellent storage. An expansive garage with high ceilings provides ample space for vehicles, equipment & recreational “toys,” while a poured pad offers additional future possibilities. A 22-acre lot & 29-acre abutting bldg lot w/5BR Permit (listed separately) makes for a unique opportunity for a legacy retreat. Energy-efficient systems include propane heat, an outdoor wood furnace, solar power & high-efficiency heat pumps for year-round comfort. This is Vermont living at its most inspired—private, sustainable, and deeply connected to the land.
