Jericho, VT | 485 Acorn Ridge

Set high above the Champlain Valley with sweeping views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains, this striking modern farmhouse offers a rare combination of contemporary design, privacy, and more than 60 acres of Vermont landscape. Built in 2021, the home was designed with a clean, modern aesthetic that allows the setting to take center stage. Maple hardwood floors and crisp white cabinetry create bright, inviting interiors, while a gas fireplace adds warmth to the main living space. The kitchen flows easily into the dining and living areas, with Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks creating a striking backdrop beyond the windows. A first-floor office provides a dedicated place to work from home, while the upper-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious bath and generous storage. Additional rooms provide flexibility for guests, a second office, studio, fitness space, or whatever suits the next owner's lifestyle. The finished lower level adds another dimension to the home, with plenty of room for entertaining, recreation, media, or overnight guests. A detached two-car garage, connected by a covered breezeway, complements the home's architecture with contemporary glass doors and additional unfinished space above. Outside, the property feels wonderfully removed from it all. Approximately 46.3 acres are permanently protected by a conservation easement held by the Richmond Land Trust, preserving much of the forested landscape surrounding the home. From its elevated setting, extraordinary western views stretch across Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks, with sunsets becoming part of everyday life. Modern, private, and surrounded by Vermont’s compelling landscape, this is a home where the views, privacy, and setting truly stand out.
