Tucked into a private and natural setting, this Richmond property offers the perfect balance of peaceful Vermont living and everyday convenience. Surrounded by woods, gardens, and seasonal natural features, the home provides a true sense of retreat while maintaining quick access to UVM, Burlington, and I-89. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen featuring Thermador Professional appliances, blending high-end performance with thoughtful design. Modern conveniences continue throughout the home with smart lighting systems and a highly efficient mechanical setup. A ducted heat pump provides year-round heating & cooling, complemented by a gas furnace for cold winter days. A beautiful soapstone wood stove adds both warmth & character, creating a cozy gathering space. Additional unfinished space presents opportunities for expansion and customization. The approx. 24x24 ft space over the garage could be a perfect home office, rec room, or workshop, as there is potential to create additional finished living space and build long-term value. Head outside and discover what makes this property truly special. A seasonal stream runs along the southern border, adding to the sense of tranquility. Spend evenings around the fire pit, enjoying the peaceful surroundings under the stars. The property includes 15 raised garden beds built with organic components by a master gardener, providing an exceptional foundation for growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Nature's bounty extends beyond the gardens, with opportunities to forage for seasonal favorites such as ramps, fiddleheads, and wild mushrooms right on the property. Outdoor recreation is equally accessible. The home is adjacent to public trails on neighboring private land, offering convenient access to hiking, walking, and year-round enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Offering privacy, natural beauty, modern comfort and room to grow, 386 Collins Mountain Road is a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Vermont living!
A very special home situated at the end of a dead end road, giving you the privacy you crave. The perfect combination of an open setting surrounded by woods. Bordered to the south by a seasonal brook and to the west by a stone wall. Just past the fire pit is a path leading to a Mountain Bike Trail System which is part of the Richmond Trails (see attached map). This home has been lovingly maintained and boasts a new addition, just finished with a 2 car garage, mudroom and a spacious room (23 x 23') over the garage, ready for you to finish however you want. Inside the main house you will find a vaulted ceiling with skylights, an updated kitchen with Corian counters and a butcher block peninsula. There are beautiful hardwood floors on the first floor and easy to maintain laminate floors have been installed throughout much of the house. The interior and exterior were just recently painted (within past month). The leach field has been certified by an engineer to be capable of supporting four bedrooms (see attached septic certification). More information and details on attached feature sheet.
