Gaze at the clear Vermont sky during evening gatherings at the firepit.  The inviting covered porch overlooks your own private spring-f

ed pond with solar aeration, perfect for swimming on hot summer days and ice skating in the winter.  The property abounds with organic blueberries, blackberries, an apple tree, established perennial gardens, and raised-bed organic vegetable and herb gardens sustained by a rainwater collection system.  A whole-house automatic generator adds to the sense of self-sufficiency.  This home is a true sanctuary.

The fabulous location offers the best of all worlds- peace, privacy, and tranquility, yet close proximity to I-89 and Mad River Valley offers easy access to fine dining, entertainment, skiing, outdoor adventures, and all that quaint Central Vermont has to offer. (Waterbury- 5 miles, Waitsfield- 11 miles, Stowe- 15 miles, Sugarbush Ski Resort-10 miles, Mad River Glen- 8 miles, Montpelier- 11 miles, Burlington- 25 miles). Excellent schools are just a mile away. This is a wonderful place to raise a family full-time or an amazing second home for weekend getaways.
