Perched above the countryside with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, 1784 Nelson Hill Road offers the space, privacy, and natural beauty that draw people to Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, paired with the comfort of a thoughtfully designed custom home on 14.8 acres. Inside, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a striking stone fireplace create inviting spaces for quiet mornings and memorable gatherings.

Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and distinctive architectural details offer comfortable accommodations for guests. Outside, expansive decking invites you to take in the changing seasons, from brilliant fall foliage to snow-covered mountain vistas.

Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add practical convenience.
