“Wintergreen” - a Frank L. Wright inspired 4700 sqft home with 3+ bedrooms, 2½ baths on 3.8 acres surrounded by majestic evergreens and black birch trees overlooking Vermont’s Connecticut River Valley. Carved into solid bedrock, the foundation sits on large veins of semi-precious quartz, at the top of a ridge overlooking hills, valleys and a stunning view of Ascutney Mtn. High ceilings, large rooms with expansive windows combined with light from all directions create a unique, customizable home on three levels, each +- 1800 sqft. The top floor is a tree-tops 2 bedroom penthouse with a large roofed porch to watch hawks and eagles circling at eye level. Ideal in-law setup. The main floor is a living and entertaining delight with large master suite. The ground level has a grand public entryway and is brightly lit with substantial windows. Its flexible floorplan offers multiple uses: artist studio/gallery, theater/family/workout rooms or just a great home business opportunity. 18th century pine doors from historic houses are used throughout. In a landscape composed of fields of native ferns, the home is well insulated from the R40 foundation to the R30, 2x8 wall construction that affords a modest heating expense. Stone removed from the foundation has been used in the naturalized landscape. Quiet, private location yet very close to all of the amenities of the Upper Valley - just minutes to Hartland, I91, -S to CT/NYC, -N to I89 and the entire Dartmouth Hospital/College community.
