Custom Swedish Cope Log Home on 14 plus acres in Southern Vermont. Hidden among the hills, this custom log home combines rugged craftsmanship with warm, open living spaces. Oversized timbers transported from Idaho were assembled in the Swedish Cope style, featuring traditional saddle notched logs that give the home its distinctive character. A cathedral style entry leads into a dramatic living area with floor to ceiling windows, local views, and a wood-burning stove. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, maple cabinetry, spacious island and opens to the dining and gathering areas, creating an inviting space for cooking, entertaining, or relaxing. The home offers three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an expansive office. The main-floor primary suite includes walk-in closets, an oversized jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in rain shower. Travertine tile extends throughout the main level, complemented by radiant-floor heating. Set on more than 14 wooded acres, the property provides exceptional privacy and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. A full 10 foot deep porch wraps around the entire home, while an outdoor firepit offers a peaceful gathering spot. Stone walls and established perennial flower beds frame the grounds, and a long private driveway enhances the secluded setting. Additional features include a detached three-car garage with bonus space above and a garden shed. Offered for the first time, this one-of-a-kind Vermont retreat delivers craftsmanship, privacy, and four-season comfort in a remarkable natural setting.
