Set high above the surrounding countryside with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, this exceptional Derby property offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and possibility in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Set on 14.8 acres, this custom-built home was thoughtfully designed for both comfortable everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. Soaring ceilings, dramatic open living spaces, a stunning stone fireplace, and walls of windows create an unforgettable first impression while bringing the surrounding landscape front and center. The chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring a premium appliance package including Miele and Dacor appliances, abundant workspace, custom cabinetry, and seamless flow for gathering and entertaining alike. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat of its own, complete with its own deck, spa-like bath, and breathtaking views. Upstairs, generously sized guest bedrooms, charming custom details, and inviting spaces throughout create room for everyone to feel at home. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with expansive decking designed to take full advantage of the panoramic setting, whether hosting guests or simply soaking in Vermont’s ever-changing seasons. Additional highlights include a heated attached garage, substantial unfinished bonus space above the garage offering incredible future potential, and a large walkout lower level with multiple exterior access points and radiant heat, creating exceptional flexibility for future expansion, recreation, storage, studio space, or work-from-home needs. Generator wiring and a whole house fan add additional practicality and comfort.
