About this home
Set on 10 private acres bordering conserved land, 15 Happy Hill offers direct access to miles of walking and skiing trails. The property is surrounded by woodland, mature landscaping, and established perennial gardens. The interior features a bright, open-plan design centered around a kitchen built for both cooking and gathering. Anchored by a custom walnut island, the space is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf range. This area flows seamlessly into a spacious living room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace. The main level also provides formal dining and living rooms alongside a relaxed family area, while a full-length back deck overlooks the expansive lawn and gardens. The second floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms and two baths, including a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath featuring a steam shower and soaking tub. Adding to the home's versatility is a two-bedroom apartment with a private entrance and deck; an ideal setup for guests, an au pair, or a quiet home office. This expertly cared-for residence has been extensively updated and renovated with a focus on both interior design and high-end infrastructure. Recent upgrades include a rooftop solar array, Tesla backup batteries, and a new high-efficiency heating and cooling system in addition to kitchen, bathroom, mudroom and basement renovations. If you are seeking a spacious, thoughtfully designed home that offers a private sanctuary within easy reach of Norwich and Hanover, this is it.

Cited on a knoll looking east over the valley below with 10+/- acres only two miles from Dan & Whit’s, this 5 bedroom 4 bathroom Adirondack–inspired home is a perfect mix of convenience and country that so many buyers seek but cannot find in Norwich. Originally built in 1989 and expanded by the previous owner, the spacious interior offers flexible space for family, guests and entertaining. Highlights include: an eat-in kitchen and a family room with a wood-burning fireplace both of which access a covered porch and exterior deck; a play room and media room either of which could serve as a ground–floor bedroom; and an office/art room with exterior French doors. Upstairs there are four bedrooms including a private master suite, a second-floor laundry and a second full bathroom. Above the attached oversized two-car garage, is a separate apartment with its own entrance, deck, bedroom, office, kitchen and sitting room. Underneath the home is a full unfinished- basement. The property connects to one of the best trail networks in the Upper Valley. As a training ground for local Olympians and naturalists alike, the property abuts the Cossingham trails and is steps away from the Appalachian Trail both of which lead to miles of additional trails throughout a large three-town area of contiguous Wilderness.

Minutes from the center of Norwich village, one arrives at a private drive winding up a hill to the perfect setting for a Vermont home. Enjoying a premier location off of Bragg Hill Road and convenient to everything the Upper Valley has to offer, one can jump on the nearby Cossingham trail system and the famous Appalachian Trail nearby in any season. Trail running, hiking, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing are all literally right outside your back door. Happy Hill presents an Adirondack inspired shingle sided twin Cape. The residence, originally constructed in 1989, has been expanded under the current ownersâ guidance with the addition of a second Cape attached to the original ell. The spacious interior and open first floor room plan offers space for everyone and every use. Hardwood and tile floors are found throughout the house and on the first floor. A well appointed attached four room, two bedroom apartment with its own private entry is perfect for multi-generational living.

Rural Residential District
The purpose of the Rural Residential District is to allow low density development in a rural setting, while protecting the natural resources and limiting development in those areas of town accessed by unimproved or substandard roads. The Rural Residential District is intended principally for agriculture, forestry, residential dwellings and associated home-based uses. Residential development is encouraged in appropriate locations in a manner that preserves open space and protects natural resources. Only limited commercial uses are allowed, and then only in a manner that avoids unreasonable burdens on town roads and services or other adverse impacts on the rural, residential character of the district.
