1123 Snipe Ireland Rd, Richmond, VT 05477

Wake each morning to the changing face of Camel's Hump, where brilliant autumn foliage, snow-covered peaks, and lush summer forests frame the view from this architect-designed contemporary home. Birdsong and a nearby waterfall supply the soundtrack across these 18 acres off Snipe Ireland Road, providing a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday conveniences. Approximately 13 acres of the property are rich, conserved forest, with thousands more acres of similarly protected forestland and wildlife habitat beyond. Whether relaxing on the screened porch, enjoying mountain views from the deck, skiing or snowshoeing out your back door, or gathering under a canopy of stars, Vermont’s quiet rhythms will be yours to enjoy in every season. Inside, three light-filled levels offer a flexible floor plan adaptable to a variety of lifestyles. Designed to capture natural light, the home features cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, yellow birch floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and warm, inviting spaces throughout. The kitchen opens seamlessly to dining and outdoor living areas, while other spaces include a first-floor flexible suite, a library/den, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a sauna. Thoughtful updates provide year-round comfort, including a York heat pump with central AC, a high-performance septic system, mostly new Marvin and Andersen windows, underground utilities, and an attached two-car garage with work benches and a 220-volt outlet. A 30' × 20' barn with a concrete floor offers space for horses, hobbies, or storage. This peaceful setting is less than ten minutes from the village of Richmond, with its cafés, restaurants, shops, brew pub, and vibrant community life. Burlington, Montpelier, and the airport are all within easy reach, along with some of Vermont's finest skiing, hiking, and outdoor recreation. This is a place where protected land, mountain views, and timeless design come together to create a very special home for generations.
