This gorgeous post and beam home overlooks 10+ acres of rolling pasture framed by a mixture of hard and soft woods. Expansive 9' ceilings and light-filled rooms highlight the perfect confluence of natural wood and traditional building styles, all emphasized by first-class details including soapstone countertops, slate tile and stainless steel appliances - including a professional grade gas range. A natural stone fireplace makes for the perfect spot to curl up in the great room on a chilly day while the pergola-covered stone patio favors al fresco dining while enjoying the sweeping western view of stunning, summer sunsets. This home was thoughtfully, aesthetically, and efficiently designed by the current owners and is being offered for the first time since its inception. A full, walkout basement with a wood burning stove and radiant heated floor affords the option for future finished living space, a game or recreation room, or heated shop space. Both rural living and convenience are achieved by just a 20 minute drive to Hanover and Lebanon, NH; Woodstock and White River Junction, VT; 40 minutes to both Killington and Okemo Mountain Resorts; and just over 2 hours to Boston, MA. Showings will begin at the Open House on 5/18, 10am-12pm.
