About this home
Nestled into a rolling hillside, this is a magical place offering the ultimate sanctuary and privacy with mountain views stretching across the valley to reveal multiple ridgelines. It is no wonder this property once served as a monastic retreat…the labyrinth of stone walls, interconnected pathways and multi-level pond system offer the perfect place to rest, reflect, and honor nature. The residence is often referred to as a ‘living home’ – the structure is tucked into an earth berm, a portion of the roof is artfully planted, and passive solar heats the interior stone walls and fireplaces providing supplement heat in the winter months. The interior of the main residence is dramatic – enter through the 700-year-old front door, descend the wide, sweeping staircase to the main living space with wonderfully high ceilings atop an open floor plan with multiple gathering areas, with distinct dining and home-office areas. At opposite ends of the main living space are the master suite and the kitchen with cherry cabinets and efficient workspace. There is also a 1/2 bath and laundry space on this main living level. The studio/loft with recently completed bath and new windows could also be used as a master suite for those who desire more privacy from the main living space. The two-level detached guest suite offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and is connected to the main residence by a covered flagstone pathway. Easy proximity to Stowe, Smuggs & Jay Peak ski resorts. Furnishings negotiable.

Magical sun-washed, earth-sheltered, & artfully folded into the terrain. Bask in solitude within a wondrous multi-level landscape of labyrinthine stone walls, curated gardens, sculptural ledge outcroppings, winding pathways, & deep interconnected ponds. Your own private Esalen or Kripalu? Or share the magic and operate as a meditation, spiritual, & yoga retreat center (permitting required). The gardens flow so seamlessly that you may discover yourself inadvertently wandering among conifers on a living roof of sedge, moss, & juniper. Clerestory glazing permits deep penetration of the sun onto walls of stone. Stone fireplaces in the master bedrm & open living space. French doors throughout. The main entry overlooks a stair of slate, stone, & organic undulating steel to an expansive yet intimate open living space. Kitchen of cherry & stone with massive stainless steel auxiliary sink. Ascend to a lofty, monolithic, & glowing red stone upper level - unabashedly expansive, it’s ideal for retreat gatherings, & yet can also serve as a 2nd master suite. Guest accommodations, an apt, & garage are reached via the covered flagstone path that bridges the structures. A large yet hidden stone-walled terrace features a wood-fired pizza oven. Host weddings on the terraced lawn within a large event tent. The mountain & valley views stretch for tens of miles. A dream you’ll not want to wake from. This must be experienced. Also offered w/ 70 acres (see MLS #4662695).
