Vermont Mountain Sanctuary Lists for $2.5 Million

A secluded 210-acre mountain retreat in Pittsfield, Vermont, has been listed for sale at $2,450,000. This property, situated approximately 15 minutes from the Killington Ski Resort, offers a substantial four-bedroom residence with 5,707 square feet of living space. The home is positioned above the Jimmy Dean Brook and Tweed River, providing a unique vantage point. The architectural design features prominent exposed beams, intricate custom woodwork, and elegant stone accents throughout its interior. High ceilings, referred to as cathedral ceilings, contribute to the spacious feel, complemented by a combination of concrete and hardwood flooring. Integrated window seating and three distinct fireplaces enhance the home's cozy and luxurious ambiance. Listing agent Thom Milke of Fountains Land Inc. described the property's interior as "high-end" with a distinct "European feel" due to the extensive use of wood. He estimated that constructing a similar home today would cost a minimum of $3 million, highlighting the value of the existing craftsmanship. The residence is equipped with cherry wood floors, two separate well water systems, and two furnaces, ensuring robust utility infrastructure. Its location is characterized by extreme privacy, being "incredibly private" and surrounded by forest on all sides. Built in 2008, this private sanctuary is enveloped by dense forest, ensuring a secluded atmosphere while maintaining proximity to outdoor recreational opportunities. Milke emphasized that the property is "hidden from everything but is just a few minutes away from some of the best skiing in Vermont." He also noted that while the area attracts many secondary homes, this particular property would serve exceptionally well as a full-time residence. The home's interior spaces are designed for both comfort and entertainment. A living room features coffered ceilings, a stone fireplace, and direct access to the outdoor areas. The dining room, intended for hosting guests, is adorned with numerous windows that offer views of the surrounding serene natural scenery. The primary bedroom includes its own working fireplace, adding a touch of personal luxury. The gourmet chef's kitchen is appointed with an oversized breakfast bar, professional-grade stainless-steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, catering to culinary enthusiasts. The property's construction in 2008 and its extensive features underscore its quality and the significant investment made in its creation.
