Vermont Estate With Underground Tunnel Auctions Without Reserve

A 10,000-square-foot Vermont estate known as The Preserve at Wade Pasture, located in Stowe, VT, has been put up for auction with no reserve price, meaning it will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of the final price. The property, owned by Adam and Sarah Hergenrother, is situated within the exclusive Robinson Springs enclave and features an antique Stowe Mountain Resort gondola as a unique welcome feature.

The estate was designed as a "private family sanctuary" and boasts a climate-controlled underground tunnel that connects the main residence to a 7,000-square-foot sports barn. This sports complex includes heated turf suitable for activities like tennis, pickleball, and golf. Additional recreational amenities on the grounds include an outdoor court for tennis, pickleball, or basketball, a heated swimming pool with a natural stone wall, a winter sledding hill, and a 14-foot-deep spring-fed swimming pond with a 12-foot diving rock.

The main residence itself is equipped with high-end features, including a kitchen with a quartz waterfall island and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, along with a Vero water filtering system. The property also includes a reinforced concrete vault, adding to its unique security and luxury features. Stacey Torrey, vice president of Integrity Luxury Real Estate Auctions, described the offering as "seldom available" and emphasized its exceptional nature beyond that of a typical luxury home.
