An absolutely stunning property inside and out. This post and beam barn style house combines country with elegance. The open floor plan allows easy entertaining and in the summer there is a covered porch for rainy days, while a large stone patio provides for a soak in the sun. This has to be one of the most spectacular ponds in Vermont. Not only is it crystal clear, but the plantings around it with a small waterfall make it seem like it has been there for centuries. A pond/garden house has a sleeping area for afternoon naps with a stone patio off the entry to the pond. Imagine living in a cozy winter setting by the stone fireplace and then in the summer the whole house opens onto the large yard toward the pond for a whole lot of fun. Wood heat if you want in the winter. Romance, romance, romance this is the word to describe this wonderful home. Perfectly located between Smuggler's, and Stowe for skiing, close to the rail trail for biking, local trails for cross-country skiing with Northern Vermont University and the Studio School to feed your soul with art, lectures, openings, and dance. If you do not want the tourist activity of Stowe, and want a perfectly appointed country home to bask in privacy and relax in quiet, this is it.
