About This Home

As of June 2023

A secluded hilltop hideaway on 35 acres just 20 minutes to the heart of Chittenden County. The current owners built this home in 1980 and have lovingly maintained it since. Some would say the post and beam construction is over-built by today’s standards. The vaulted ceilings provide an expansive feel to the interior, while the natural wood interior adds a cozy and warm feeling. The home was built for a couple, but thought was given to the layout and the space lends itself to adding more bedrooms if one desired. Outside you’ll see that fiddleheads and wildflowers grow, and the babbling brook is the only sound you’ll hear. The acreage is covered in trails and old stone walls and provides a sense of privacy and tranquility. This home stands out among many as one that is deeply connected to the land and is a rarity in this market.
