Set at the end of a long, winding private drive and surrounded by 184 acres of unspoiled countryside, this remarkable estate represents one of Central Vermont's rarest offerings. Large, contiguous land holdings of this scale are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such a convenient location. Offering complete privacy, natural beauty, and a thoughtfully maintained residence, the property is ideal as a family retreat, recreational haven, conservation estate, or legacy property. A picturesque drive winds through mature forests to an elevated homesite. The residence blends craftsmanship with modern comforts. The floor plan offers 3 bedrooms and 4 baths w/a primary suite on main. Durable hard-surface flooring includes beautiful cherry hardwood, much of it milled from timber harvested on the property. Recent improvements include a renovated kitchen featuring VT Danby marble and a Fisher and Paykel induction cooktop, updated baths, heat pumps, attic spray foam insulation, a resurfaced driveway, finished flooring and trim in the workroom, a whole-property generator system, and a security gate with coded keypad access. Large windows, custom built-ins, a 3-season sunroom, 2 wood burning fireplaces, main-level laundry with butler's pantry, an oversized attached 2-car garage, and a lower-level garage bay further enhance the home. A crystal-clear 1-acre pond serves as the property's centerpiece, complete w/an artesian-fed waterfall, stocked smallmouth bass, and a boathouse w/electrical service. Private walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country ski trails wind throughout the acreage for year-round recreation. Additional features include an attached and detached garage, workshop space, or recreational vehicles, plus a greenhouse. Despite its seclusion, the property is minutes from I89 Exits 6 and 7, CVMC, amenities, while Edward F. Knapp State Airport is approx. 2 miles away. Rarely does a landholding of this size, privacy, and accessibility become available. A truly exceptional VT offering!
