- Description: **Privacy. Design. Nature. Possibility.** Tucked away on 12.3 acres, this exceptional contemporary retreat is the kind of property that makes you slow down the moment you arrive. A peaceful pond, mature woodlands, and complete privacy create an extraordinary setting, while the home's thoughtful architecture brings the beauty of the outdoors into every room. Wrapped in beautiful clear cedar siding, the residence is modern without feeling stark-warm, inviting, and incredibly livable. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light and capture tranquil views in every season. Rich ash floors add warmth and texture, while the dramatic circular fireplace provides a striking architectural focal point and an unforgettable gathering space. The open-concept main level is designed for **effortless single-level living**, with an easy flow from the kitchen to dining and living spaces and directly outdoors. Whether you're hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the pond, the home feels connected to its surroundings at every turn. Downstairs, the finished lower level offers room to spread out, with flexible space for guests, a home office, media room, gym, studio, or recreation. There is space here for everyone-and for whatever comes next. Outside is where the magic really happens. Wander down to the pond, explore your acreage, entertain on a summer evening, or gather around the fire as the stars come out. This is Vermont living at its best: private, peaceful, beautiful, and completely your own. And then there is the **additional building lot**, a rare and valuable bonus that opens the door to a guest house, studio, family compound, future expansion, or investment opportunity, subject to approvals. **A contemporary Vermont retreat with soul, exceptional privacy, architectural character, and room to dream. Come for the house, stay for the setting-and imagine what you could create here.**
