Showcasing sunrises over the most iconic summits of the Green Mountains and sunsets across Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks, this post-and-beam contemporary offers an extraordinary vantage point of Vermont's most striking and sought-after scenery. Take in every major peak from Mansfield to Camel's Hump and down to Mount Ellen, then look westward over the rolling hills of the Champlain Valley and beyond: a sweeping dual horizon surrounded by 14 private acres. Immersed in nature and bordering conserved land, the property itself is as special as the views: peeper frogs sing while fireflies dance in spring and summer, gardens, berry bushes, and a large chicken coop invite a simpler lifestyle, while moonrises over mountaintops into wide-open skies make for unforgettable nights of stargazing. Inside, the home's three levels unfold as you move upward through the space. Stepping into the tiled entry, a flexible footprint hosts four versatile rooms, two shared full baths, a central gathering area, a built-in sauna, and ample storage. Upstairs, the main living level is bathed in sunlight, defined by the central Hearthstone woodstove, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm oak hardwoods, and expansive west-facing glass with sliding doors leading out to expansive decks. The open kitchen looks east toward the morning sun, flowing seamlessly into a dedicated dining area. A pantry, half bath, and cozy office round out this level, while the top floor is dedicated to a primary suite featuring a soaking tub, tiled shower, and a private balcony facing the eastern horizon. Other stand-out highlights include a standing seam roof, seven heat pumps, radiant heat paired with a new boiler, an owned solar array with net metering, and an oversized four-car detached garage, offering unfinished bonus space above for exceptional storage and utility. Offering privacy, scenery, and room to thrive, this singular property needs to be experienced to be appreciated.
