Some homes simply offer a place to live; this one offers a way of life. Tucked away on 26 private wooded acres in the heart of Vermont, this exceptional country retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience every season at its finest. Perfectly sited to capture long-range mountain views while maximizing privacy, the property feels worlds away, yet remains conveniently located. This private 4-bedroom, 3-bath retreat offers screened porches, abundant natural light, and the best of Vermont outdoor living. Step outside your door to explore your own network of wooded walking trails. The interior of this home is warm and inviting, offering spacious, light-filled living areas and timeless finishes throughout. The traditional layout creates an effortless flow between the living room, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast nook, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Six foot windows surrounding the living room bring in natural light. You'll find abundant storage throughout the home, including walk-in closets in all four bedrooms and storage inside the built-in bench in the primary bedroom. The large garage provides storage space for at least two vehicles as well as smaller equipment and tools. Above the garage is a terrific workshop space; this area was previously finished and used as an ADU and could be converted again. Apple and oak trees bring deer and other wildlife right into your backyard. Whether you're watching brilliant fall foliage, snowshoeing through fresh powder, or enjoying summer evenings beneath the stars, every season becomes part of your daily routine. Directly across the road from the driveway, you'll find public access to a particularly beautiful section of the Otter Creek. In this peaceful setting, you'll feel a million miles away, while in reality being conveniently situated equidistant between Middlebury and Rutland; while closer to home the charming town of Brandon is only a seven minute drive away.
