The view astonishes the moment you arrive, easily one of the most impressive in the valley. Set high on 35.4 private acres, it looks directly toward Mount Snow and Haystack, with a long paved driveway creating a true sense of arrival and remarkable privacy just minutes from Mount Snow. This beautiful post-and-beam home was built for gathering, with multiple spaces that let everyone spread out without losing the feeling of being together. At the heart of the home is the soaring great room, where exposed timbers, warm wood tones and walls of glass frame the mountain view. A custom masonry fireplace anchors the room and throws impressive warmth throughout the house. The open kitchen, dining and living areas flow easily together and out toward the screened porch, deck and lawn, giving the main level an easy connection to the outdoors. The primary en suite is also on this level, allowing for true one-level everyday living. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms along with two fun loft areas that create their own hangout spaces for reading, games, or simply escaping with a book. The finished walkout lower level offers space for a home gym, another media area, a full bath and additional finished bonus rooms that can flex with changing needs. Above the attached garage, more finished bonus space offers more options for an office, studio, recreation room or overflow space. Outside is where this property becomes hard to duplicate. With more than 35 wooded acres, there is room to roam, explore and escape into Vermont. Walking trails and direct access to snowmobile trails put four-season recreation right outside the door, while the paved driveway and attached garage make everyday mountain living practical. With a main-level primary suite, multiple finished bonus spaces, extensive recreation areas and an extraordinary combination of acreage, privacy and direct mountain views, it offers minutes to Mount Snow.
