About this home
Perched on top of a hill and away from the road, this custom-built home sits on 5.34 acres and offers ultimate privacy plus gorgeous mountain and pastoral views. Pride of ownership is more than evident as the current owners have maintained this home since they had it built. The home offers a spacious, sunny living room which opens to wonderful screen porch overlooking the backyard. Enjoy a large eat-in kitchen with center island plus formal dining room - great for entertaining. Convenient 1st floor laundry/mudroom off the 2-car garage. Upstairs you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms including a master suite with two large walk-in closets and private bathroom with double vanity. A small office leads to a bonus unfinished storage space perfect for future expansion. Discover additional storage/work space in the basement with bulkhead plus garden shed in front yard. Extensive landscaping surrounds the front stone walkway and minimal trees allow for maximum sunlight to power the owned solar panels resulting in no electric bills! The expansive yard is perfect for the avid gardener, farmer or various recreation and lawn games. Enjoy the peace and quiet from this secluded property, yet easy access to Five Corners, Essex Outlets, Tafts Corners and Interstate-89. Plus new boiler and water heater in 2017!

AR
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of this district is to protect lands with an economic capability for agriculture and which are now essentially undeveloped except for uses associated with agriculture or forestry operation. In this district, planned unit developments which do not remove the potential of the land for agricultural production such as open space, conservation and certain forms of outdoor recreation, are encouraged. Further road development and the extension of public water supply and sewage disposal systems are not planned for this district. Therefore, only low density residential and recreation development which uses existing facilities, which can adequately dispose of its sewage, and is compatible with the district’s purpose and guidelines should be allowed.
