Wake to the sun rising over misty mountain tops with peaks and valleys as far as the eye can see and the mind can dream; fall asleep to the peaceful calm that surrounds you.  Every room is a work of art in this unique and extraordinary home with sophisticated custom details throughout. The hand blown glass sconces and repurposed floors, tilled and shipped here from a Kentucky Bourbon Distillery. This home pays homage to Vermont craftsmanship and artistry at its best. The Adirondack Stone masonry is the last of its kind, the railings are all handcrafted by a local blacksmith. The Panton Stone fireplace and Hearthstone stove will keep you cozy all winter. There's a nicely finished garage and 20 x 12 vault for all your gold or as a perfect wine cellar. For HORSE LOVERS, there is a 4 stall barn with heated feed room, electricity and water, a paddock and jumping rings; otherwise board horses there for income. There is a pond to cool off in all summer long. Just 35 minutes to Burlington, 25 to Middlebury, 10-15 to Hinesburg, Bristol and Vergennes to satisfy all of your cultural desires. Monkton Pond for boating and many nature trails and hikes nearby to enjoy. 10+ acres of the most beautiful surroundings in Vermont!     Welcome Home.
