Breathtaking Post & Beam Home, Views, on 27 Acres

One of the Mad River Valley’s finest properties, perfect for family vacations, wedding guests or a gathering of friends, sleeps 12-14. Filled with natural sunlight, this gorgeous 5 BR, 2900sf home features oak pegged timber frame architecture, cherry hardwood floors inlaid with ash and maple, and spectacular mountain and valley views. It is sited on a private 27 acre farm, with no other house in sight, in the heart of the Valley’s pastoral farm country. The home is tastefully decorated and boasts a layout ideally suited for families traveling together: a private bedroom level featuring two luxurious master bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a sumptuous glass and tile bath; a living level with an open floor plan comprised of three separate sitting and entertainment areas, dining room that seats twelve, beautifully equipped chef’s kitchen and marble-topped woodstove with ample wood supplies; and a bright family level with three bedrooms, luxurious mosaic-tiled spa bath, fully equipped mini-kitchen, and a common room full of games, videos, puzzles and books for rainy days. There are numerous amenities including a large mudroom, several flat screen TVs with DVD players, and an office with printer, fax, wireless high speed internet, and five-bar cell service. The beautiful property, located at the end of a private road, features a large deck with panoramic views, expansive lawns, stone walls, perennial gardens and flowering trees, an organic vegetable and herb garden, firepit, blackberry patches, an A++ sledding hill and a sparkling stream with waterfalls and pools. Also on the property is a fully-equipped equestrian facility with a run-in post and beam barn, several acres of grass fields, 60’ round pen, and outdoor kennel. Well behaved dogs considered on a case by case basis, with additional deposit. Can be easily equipped for babies (crib, changing table, high chair) with advance notice. BONUS: A multi-level treehouse-deck designed by nation's top sustainable treehouse builders.

On 27 picturesque acres surrounded by farmland, woods and trails, this property offers the ultimate in privacy and yet is only minutes from skiing, Waitsfield and Warren villages and other Mad River Valley activities. The Mad River Valley is known as a "haven" for its "scenic rural landscape and peaceful way of life" (The New York Times). While its legendary skiing on three ski mountains and extensive network of VAST snowmobiling and cross country trails attracts winter sports enthusiasts, unlike many other ski resorts the Valley is surprisingly free of crowds and traffic. Its pristine countryside and progressive, sophisticated community makes it a wonderful destination year-round for everyone who after their first visit falls in love with its fresh air, natural beauty, and organic spirit. Summers offer arts festivals, farmers markets and a legendary 4th of July parade; kayaking, fishing and swimming in the beautiful Mad River; antiquing, shopping and dining on exquisite locally-grown fare as well as a myriad of activities from golfing to gliding.
