Perched like a storybook retreat and affectionately known as “the treehouse,” this one-of-a-kind home rises from it’s owner-built frame, nestled atop a natural rock outcrop with sweeping views of the Taconic Range. Inside, the home unfolds with a sense of wonder. Sunlight dances beneath a dramatic 20-foot ceiling, softly illuminated from above, while a living rock outcrop emerges through the heart of the great room—an organic centerpiece surrounds the fireplace. A vertical live-edge pine feature stretches upward like a tree within the home, complemented by built-in library shelving and two striking pentagonal windows that frame the surrounding Vermont woods like living art. The kitchen and dining area invite both gathering and quiet moments, with warm cherry floors underfoot, a cozy wood stove, and thoughtfully crafted details including reclaimed wood cabinetry and soapstone countertops. Rustic charm meets modern ease. The primary bedroom feels like a peaceful aerie, complete with an ensuite half-bath, walk-in closet, and tranquil views over the Pownal Valley. A separate guest suite offers comfort and privacy, while the main bath provides a spa-like escape inspired by Japanese design—featuring a whirlpool tub set beside a soaring window that gazes out to natural stone, and a sauna spacious enough for six. A partially finished loft adds a touch of versatility, perfect for a reading nook, creative studio, or tucked-away sleeping space. Throughout, the home blurs the boundary between indoors and out, weaving natural materials and architectural artistry into its surroundings—creating a truly magical Vermont retreat that feels both grounded in the earth and lifted among the trees.
