About this home
Designed with both horse and rider in mind, this exceptional property features an impressive barn with water, electricity, a dedicated tack room, a 44-foot horse run, an automated heated watering system, fenced pasture, and an attached indoor riding arena that lets you train and ride comfortably year-round, no matter the weather. After a day at the barn, retreat to a home that has been meticulously maintained and positioned to capture breathtaking long-range mountain views stretching from Camel's Hump to Middlebury Gap, Mad River Glen, and Sugarbush. Enjoy the peaceful setting from the expansive maintenance-free Trex deck, where Vermont's spectacular scenery is on full display. Inside, the home offers a warm and functional layout with two spacious bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, an inviting living room and eat-in kitchen on the main level, and a finished lower level with a laundry area, a ¾ bath, and convenient access from both the kitchen and the finished mudroom. The former one-car garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a practical mudroom, creating the perfect everyday entrance with abundant space for riding boots, coats, helmets, and outdoor gear. Additional updates include Harvey replacement windows and attractive vinyl siding installed within the past 10 years, along with the peace of mind of a whole-house surge protector. A detached garage provides excellent space for a vehicle, workshop, tractor, hay storage, or additional equipment. Move-in ready and exceptionally cared for, this rare Vermont property offers everything an equestrian or hobby farmer could want quality horse facilities, comfortable living spaces, incredible mountain views, and the privacy to enjoy the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
Immaculate, move in ready, spectacular views, privacy - this home has it all. Views from Camel's Hump to Middlebury Gap to Mad River Glen to Sugarbush. This home has been perfectly maintained and all the love and care really shows! Two large bedrooms and full bath upstairs, living room and eat in kitchen on the main floor, and exercise room, laundry, and 3/4 bath in the basement. Access to basement from garage or inside home. Wonderful and large Trex deck means no need for constant maintenance and room to relax and take in the views. High end and attaractive vinyl siding and top grade Harvey's Windows throughout the home (siding, and windows less than 5 years old). Owners even paid for a whole house surge protector! The additional separate garage provides storage for tractor and lawn equipment (negotiable) or for second car. The property at one time had a red pine tree plantation but red pine disease necessitated removal of the pines, but that opened up the views! Priced to sell, don't miss this home. Old rock wall surrounds portion of property.
