292 Forest Mountain RoadPeru, VT 05152Price: $489,000

Imagine turning off the main road as the canopy thickens, the drone of highway traffic fading into the quiet rustle of wind through northern hardwoods. Up on a gentle knoll surrounded by over two wooded acres, 292 Forest Mountain Road feels less like a house and more like a breath of fresh air. Morning here starts slowly. Coffee brews while sunlight filters through the trees, casting soft shadows across comfortable living spaces designed for easy, unpretentious living. Spring and summer bring lush green privacy, with plenty of room on the knoll to tuck in a vegetable garden, sip evening drinks outdoors, or simply listen to the forest. Autumn transforms the acreage into a front-row seat for southern Vermont's foliage, while winter brings that distinct, quiet magic, unloading ski gear after a day on the slopes at nearby Bromley or Stratton, stepping inside, and letting the day's chill melt away. It's the kind of retreat where Fridays mean shedding city schedules, picking up morning pastries at the local general store down the road, and letting days stretch out naturally. Whether you're tinkering with projects in the detached garage with workshop, hosting friends for a long weekend, or spending a quiet afternoon with a good book, the home offers a warm, low maintenance haven that lets you focus on being here, not maintaining it.
