Description

Welcome to your own private oasis! Set on 30 private wooded acres, this well-maintained three-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial presents a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive acreage, exceptional mountain views (including the Bennington Battle Monument!), and peaceful surroundings in a highly versatile tri-state location near the Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York borders. The 2, 083 square-foot home blends classic character with modern convenience, featuring wide pine floors across the main level, fiber-optic internet, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The light-filled kitchen wing offers vaulted ceilings, a skylight, garden window, and KraftMaid cabinetry, while the spacious dining/keeping room is anchored by a striking Rumford fireplace crafted by a master mason. Flexible living areas include a TV room/library and a main-level bedroom with an attached bathroom with walk-in shower. Upstairs are two very generously sized bedrooms with a shared full bathroom and ample closet spaces. A partially finished walk-out basement with French doors, Vermont Castings wood stove, laundry room, and half bath adds additional usable space for hobbies or other flexible living space. The property’s woods road invites year-round outdoor recreation including walking, cross-country skiing, and ATV use. Convenient to regional colleges, cultural destinations, and multiple ski areas, this property offers a unique combination of privacy, quiet enjoyment, and access to four-season amenities. This home is a must-see for the views, expansive acreage, quality construction, and pride of ownership.
