This hidden jewel tucked into a secluded corner of Vermont’s North East Kingdom is located just 15 minutes from Jay Peak. The dwelling is nestled into 50 acres of mixed woodland overlooking a 10 acre pond with picturesque views of the mountain. Old stone walls meander through the woods and gardens. A wooden walkway bridges the rock wall that flanks the in-ground pool. The rooftop terrace of the pool house presents a commanding view of (overlooks) the wildlife, pond and mountains beyond. The abundant light in this renovated house creates the sensation of being in direct contact with the surrounding forest. At one end of the open plan, two bedrooms share a spacious bathroom, equipped with Jacuzzi and separate shower, and brightened by a generous window. A guestroom off the dining area is perfect for visitors who enjoy the privacy of their own bathroom with a large shower. The refurbished basement can be used as a family room or occasional bedroom. For the outdoor enthusiast, there is kayaking on the pond as well as hiking on the trails cut through the surrounding woods. Snowshoeing or cross country skiing right out your front door offers direct access to the Catamount trail and the VAST is close by. The separate garage and attached garden shed offer ample storage for the handyman, the gardener and the artist.
