Perfect for discerning buyers who want outdoor paradise close to town. This light-filled, hilltop country house sits upon 12 very private and quiet acres with views of the Plainfield mountains yet is only three and a half miles from the restaurants, shopping, music venues, and buzz of downtown Montpelier, a 45 to 50 minute drive to some of the best Alpine and Nordic skiing in the east at Stowe, Sugarbush, Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and Ole’s Nordic. From your back door you can access mountain bike, Nordic and VAST trails that connect to the East Montpelier’s trail system. Or simply take a walk down the dirt road to one of the most beautiful and famous views of Camels Hump and the Worcester Range. The rolling land, a combination of meadows and forest with ancient maples and old stone walls, boasts apple, pear, cherry, and plum trees, blueberry and raspberry bushes, mature asparagus and perennial beds, and a large organic vegetable garden. A 4+ acre wooded and grassy hill with a stone wall separating it from the main parcel of land around the house could be subdivided. Subdivision plans have been professionally designed. Although the current legal use is as one lot, a two-lot subdivision was previously permitted by the town of East Montpelier. The home features an abundance of windows and French or sliding doors assuring natural light throughout. The recent and charming renovation of this sunlit home includes state of the art amenities and reflects the owners’ attention to tasteful detail.
