Properties of this scale and setting are a rare find. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home's circulation flows effortlessly through a dramatic great room anchored by a striking two-story fireplace. The space opens seamlessly to the dining and kitchen areas and is framed by a wall of windows that lead to an expansive deck overlooking a tranquil pond. A statement staircase ascends to a second-story loft perched above the great room, offering peaceful views of the surrounding woodland. Radiant floor heating and the inviting fireplace create a cozy atmosphere--perfect for settling in with a glass of wine and a good book on a crisp Vermont evening. An oversized two-car garage connects to an enclosed rear storage area complete with a greenhouse and ample space for outdoor hobbies. An additional bay to the right of the garage offers ideal storage for a third vehicle or recreational equipment. Inside the garage, a staircase leads to a generous attic space that adjoins the second-floor living area and presents an exceptional opportunity to create an owner's suite, artist studio, or game room. The full walk-out basement adds even more versatility, with room for storage, a woodworking shop, or future finished living space. Tucked away on a dead-end road in a quiet residential neighborhood, the property spans over 50 acres of pristine Vermont forest where wildlife thrives. A well-appointed barn with power and water, a ready-to-use chicken coop, and a network of trails invite year-round enjoyment--whether walking, horseback riding, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing, all just steps from your door. Despite its private setting, the home is ideally located in Vernon, minutes from the Massachusetts border and the shops, dining, and amenities of Brattleboro. This contemporary custom home offers a rare opportunity to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with nature--or serve as the perfect basecamp for your next outdoor adventure.
