A true mountain retreat, this custom-built Swedish Cope log home is constructed from massive native VT pines by VT craftsmen. The home is sited on 76 rolling acres of mixed hardwood forest & open meadows, taking full advantage of its south facing slopes, stunning lake & mountain views, & epic night skies. The current owners designed the whimsical floor plan with many surprise spaces & fun features. From hidden "hobbit holes" & secret doors, to private reading lofts & a basement slide, there is something to delight at every turn. The main floor is centered around the Gathering Room with 2 1/2 story ceilings & a custom-built masonry heater for cozy nights. The kitchen has vintage-inspired modern appliances, black walnut cabinets, & custom eating bar. A large bedroom suite on the main level includes a huge walk-in closet & private bath with tile shower & clawfoot soaker tub. The focal point of the 2nd floor is the loft game room with unique center chimney. 2 additional bedrooms, both with en-suite baths, & a 3rd room with sliders opening to a balcony completes the space. The walkout lower level offers 2,200 sf of additional living space & has been partially finished into a 1-bed apartment. A 3-car garage, 2-story timber frame barn, & garden shed are also included. With miles of biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, & snowmobile trails, a variety of fruit trees & berries, along with the gorgeous views - this beautiful property is in a class by itself.
