Perched on 6.3 private acres with sweeping views of Mt. Equinox, this custom post-and-beam home offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and natural beauty. Bordering the Green Mountain National Forest on two sides and located just minutes from Manchester, Bromley, and Stratton, the property delivers a secluded mountain retreat without sacrificing convenience. Built in 2012, the home was engineered for durability and year-round comfort. Exposed timber framing, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows frame the mountains, creating a light-filled, open-concept environment designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level is centered around a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings and mountain views, complemented by a spacious primary suite and the ease of single-level living. Upstairs, an oversized loft overlooks the main living area and connects to a private guest bedroom suite. The finished walkout lower level adds exceptional flexibility with multiple finished rooms, a full bath, kitchenette, recreation space, fitness area, and direct access to the surrounding landscape. A three-season sunroom provides additional space to relax and enjoy the changing seasons, while outdoor decks and patios create seamless connections to the natural setting. Built to a high-performance standard with a HERS rating of 39, the home features SIP wall and roof construction, an insulated concrete form foundation, standing-seam metal roof, central air conditioning, and outstanding energy efficiency. Combining architectural character, modern performance, and a spectacular mountainside setting close to skiing, hiking, golf, dining, and shopping, this property captures the very best of four-season Vermont living.
