First time to market in 40 years: Architecturally striking 3 bedroom, 2 bath California Contemporary with unobstructed 180 panoramic mountain views. Sunsets are a painter's dream! The surrounding 43 acres offer both meadows and woodlands; streams; waterfalls; picnic spots; and trails for hiking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. The interior offers a two-level open floor-plan. The upper level features living, dining, and kitchen with beamed cathedral ceiling and two-story fireplace. Floors are TN distressed redwood and VT slate. The kitchen has elaborate Italian tile, plenty of cabinetry, and an authentic professional butcher block prep island. Two bedrooms have open views and hidden storage areas above closets with a bath in between. Lower level features a large family room with mountain views, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, another bedroom, full bath, and separate entrance. Outdoor living space includes a large deck, hot tub, and railing seats for guests to enjoy dining and mountain views. In addition, there is an oversized 2-car garage and a shed for summer/winter toys. Land is in two parcels. The larger parcel has separate road frontage, so a few acres can be sold for a building site. Location is excellent: very close to Merck Forest (hiking/skiing) and nearby artistic Dorset/Manchester, yet only 35 miles from Saratoga Spring's famous racetrack/cultural activities & Lake George boating and water sports. Come see one of the most spectacular views anywhere in VT!
