Escape to your own authentic Vermont homestead, tucked into the hillside and reaching toward the sky. Perched above the endless canopy of the Green Mountain National Forest, this private three-bedroom, two-bath retreat feels worlds away—peaceful, secluded, and deeply connected to the land. Inside, natural light pours into the kitchen each morning, while every window frames a living landscape that transforms beautifully through the seasons. Over the past twenty years, the current owner has thoughtfully shaped this property with a vision rooted in creativity, independence, and a meaningful connection to nature. Above the main home sits the original one-room sky cabin, ready for its next chapter. With some additional work, it could become a soulful guest retreat, inspiring off-grid studio, or quiet sanctuary overlooking the property. Set on 12 private acres with established trails for hiking and snowshoeing, this is a place where life slows down and nature takes center stage. In the main gathering space, expansive views across the treetops create a dramatic backdrop in every season—from vibrant summer greens to golden autumn hillsides and snow-covered winter forests. For those seeking a simpler and more self-sufficient lifestyle, the foundation is already here. Solar power is in place, with additional hydro potential offering the possibility of expanded off-grid living. More than a home, this is an opportunity to live intentionally, breathe deeply, and create a lifestyle uniquely your own. Located just outside the charming village of Belmont, Vermont, the property is only a short walk to the Belmont General Store and the peaceful waters of Star Lake, while still conveniently close to the shops, dining, and recreation of Rutland and Ludlow—both just twenty minutes away.
