Hidden among 20+ wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is back on the market and ready for its next chapter. Set well off the road with its own private pond, open meadow, and forest surroundings, the property offers the kind of peace and privacy that's getting harder to find. Inside, the home embraces its wonderfully untraditional layout with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and cozy corners that make you want to slow down and stay awhile. The sun-filled kitchen--with skylights overhead and views of hummingbird feeders just outside--feels connected to nature in every season. Upstairs, the loft captures breathtaking tree-level views, especially in the fall. The finished walkout lower level offers generous space for guests, hobbies, or simply spreading out and enjoying the quiet. Outside, wildlife wanders freely, summer evenings glow with fireflies, and you can ramble your way up the ridge bordering state forest land. A detached oversized heated garage adds even more potential for a workshop, studio, guest space, or game room. All this just 10 minutes from Lake Champlain. Whether you've been searching for a full-time home or a private Vermont escape, this property delivers space, character, and a setting that's hard to forget. Appointment only -- no drive-bys please.
