Discover your own Vermont mountain retreat! Tucked near the top of the mountain on a quiet dead-end dirt road, you'll discover a true Vermont hidden gem where peace, privacy, quality, and adventure come together. Meticulously maintained and custom built by the current owners, this exceptional Ward log home has been lovingly cared for since day one, with quality craftsmanship evident throughout. The thoughtfully designed living quarters above the impressive two-story garage offer warmth and comfort, featuring granite countertops, custom cherry cabinetry, central air with a smart thermostat, and radiant heat on the first two floors. A Harman pellet stove adds cozy warmth and Vermont charm, while a backup generator provides peace of mind. Offered fully furnished, this special retreat is ready to enjoy from day one. The property's impressive outbuildings provide even more possibilities. A massive 30' x 40' three-story garage offers incredible space for recreational vehicles, equipment, hobbies, storage, or the ultimate workshop, while a separate bunkhouse provides comfortable accommodations for family and friends. Spanning more than 40 acres across Wells and Middletown Springs, this remarkable property offers exceptional privacy, wildlife galore, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Deer, turkey, and other Vermont wildlife are frequent visitors, making every season an opportunity to experience the beauty of right outside your door. Paperwork is already in place for a second access road into Middletown Springs, adding flexibility for future use. Once home to miles of ATV trails, the land could easily be restored for ATV riding, hiking, hunting, or simply exploring your own mountain sanctuary. Located in Wells, where there is no zoning, the possibilities are truly unique. Whether you're looking for a private mountain retreat, recreational paradise, family compound, or year-round home, this property offers the space and setting to make your vision a reality.
