Set on eight picturesque acres, this contemporary Vermont home was designed around light, landscape, and the ease of one-level living. Follow the bluestone path past the Panton stone wall and step inside, where soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and a striking double-sided fireplace create a living space that feels expansive without losing its warmth. Then open the door to the screened porch, where morning coffee stretches a little longer, and summer evenings end overlooking the lawn and fields beyond. Flooded with natural light, the dining room flows into the generous kitchen, with abundant workspace, stainless appliances, plenty of storage, and a movable island that lets the room change with the occasion. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with a custom walk-in closet and a glass door opening directly onto a secluded patio. The spacious bath features a double vanity, separate shower, and corner soaking tub. Tucked away on the opposite side of the home, a separate bedroom wing offers two bright bedrooms and a full bath, creating welcome separation between the primary and guest spaces. Beyond the deep garage is one of the home's best surprises: a large, light-filled studio with glass doors, counters, shelving, and a utility sink. Art studio, garden headquarters, workshop, creative space, home office. Bring the pursuit you've been waiting to have room for. And then, keep walking. A path beyond the stone patio and manicured lawn leads through the field to a serene meadow with fruit trees, garden space, and wide-open pastoral views. It feels like discovering a second property hidden within the first. Private, peaceful, and full of possibility, this is more than a contemporary Vermont home on eight acres. It's the kind of place that reveals itself slowly and makes you want to stay awhile.
