A design and materials masterpiece, Above the Clouds is one of the most spectacular estates in Vermont. Embedded into rock outcroppings on 15 pristine acres, the setting and views are simply breathtaking. Vermont Danby marble was brilliantly selected as the primary exterior material, and numerous local hardwoods, Italian marble, and sandstone are featured throughout the interior. A spectacular array of floor-to-ceiling windows brings the outside in, creating a beautiful, light-filled home with expansive views from every room. Crafted for grand entertaining, upon entry, a dramatic foyer leads to the dining and great room, which immediately directs your attention to a spectacular veranda and panorama to the mountains and valley below. The primary suite, a private oasis, includes a sunken seating area and splendid bath. Two spacious guest suites grace the upper level with individual terraces, fireplaces, and spa-like baths. A third, private suite, will comfortably host longer-term guests or serve as staff quarters. The lower level is an exquisite recreation venue. A full cocktail bar can host your guests before adjourning to either the 18-seat home theater or game room with marble fireplace; all overlook an opulent, indoor pool and spa. Outdoors is a perfect landscape with stone terraces providing unlimited vantage points and stunning views. Even the drive, forged in stone, provides a spellbinding entry to the property, evoking total privacy, revealing this grand estate.
This 15 acre site is beyond breathtaking. From the rock ledge approach to the enormous rocks onto which the home is perched, this dramatic estate was created with a commitment to local, natural materials. The exterior quality is evidenced by the exclusive use of white marble from Danby, Vermont. Enter the house through hand carved wood doors into the foyer which opens into a dining gallery with marble floors, a cathedral skylight, half-spiral suspended staircase and a "Phantom" chandelier. The three-level residence totals 18,000± SF of quiet elegance with the main living area, comprised of the kitchen, dining hall and great room being flanked by two wings. The east wing is dedicated to the master suite, complete with sitting area, exercise room and a marble master bath. The west wing houses the library, offices, spacious laundry room, and a heated 3-bay garage. The second level features two en-suite bedrooms with terraces as well as a separate second level apartment, perfect for guests. The above ground entertainment level is complete with a studio-quality theater with reclining seating for 18, a game room with marble fireplace, and a 23 x 38 indoor swimming pool with marble surround, waterfall and spa facilities. Exquisite mountain views from every perspective include nearby gardens, grounds, and stone walls. Above all, this is a quality home for a superb quality of life.
