A truly extraordinary, gated Vermont retreat, backing up to the Green Mountain National Forest. This remarkable mountain haven offers a rare lifestyle: waterfalls in the backyard, a sitting deck surrounded by nature, more than 65 perennials and established gardens, easy-maintenance grounds, and extraordinary access to Southern Vermont recreation. Inside, enjoy post-and-beam warmth, hardwood floors, neutral tones, a gourmet kitchen with a large center island, updated bathrooms with custom tile, and two oversized custom stone fireplaces. Private primary suite wing with luxurious bath, private office, and walk-in closet. Multiple ensuite guest bedrooms and formal and informal entertaining rooms over 3 floors. Thoughtfully placed outdoor sitting areas invite you to enjoy the beauty of the grounds from every angle, whether listening to the waterfalls, gathering on the deck, or simply taking in the peaceful natural setting. Less than 4 miles to High Country Marine on Harriman Reservoir, 1 mile to Searsburg Reservoir, 8 miles to Somerset Reservoir, near the Deerfield River, 5 miles to downtown Wilmington, less than 12 miles to Mount Snow, and less than 10 miles to the Hermitage. Located on the Wilmington side of the mountain, with paved road access, no local zoning, no rental restrictions, and full school choice, the setting is both private and convenient. Outdoor living is easy with a large gathering deck, redone driveways, generous parking, and two large outbuildings with 6 oversized garage bays, one newly insulated and finished with a pellet stove. A rare opportunity to experience one of Southern Vermont's most unique settings, where lifestyle, convenience, water, forest, and recreation all come together.
