Custom homes with large usable parcels of land are getting exceedingly hard to find. This hand-crafted home offers a top-of-the-line amenity package on the interior, surrounded by beautiful "working" grounds outside. The 10 rolling acres have been transformed from a former pasture to a livable landscape complete with prolific blueberry patch, 20+ tree mini-orchard, productive vegetable garden, and acres left over for raising livestock of all kinds. The home, built by a local craftsman, has a practical floor plan executed with the highest quality materials, fit, and finish. The detached two-story barn is the envy of any homeowner with extensive hobbies or a desire to establish an in-home business. The home is equipped with state-of-the-art redundant heating technology. There’s an oil fired Buderus Boiler combined with a wood gasification boiler, allowing you to choose your fuels and heat your home as you see fit. This powerhouse combination means comfortable living conditions inside your home year-round, regardless of the exterior temperature. Located just minutes from Fern Lake and Lake Dunmore and 17 minutes from Middlebury, you would be lucky to be able to call this great property your next home.
