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. The chef’s kitchen features Miele and Dacor appliances, custom cabinetry, generous workspace, and an easy connection to the dining and living areas. The first-floor primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a private deck, spa-inspired bath, and beautiful views. 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. A heated attached garage, unfinished space above the garage, and a radiant-heated walkout lower level provide room to imagine what comes next, whether a studio, recreation area, workshop, or additional living space, subject to applicable approvals. Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add practical convenience. Equally suited to year-round living or a Vermont getaway, this property offers a rare sense of openness without sacrificing the comforts of home. For those seeking a larger landholding, an additional 70.9 acres across four separately subdivided parcels is available with the home. See MLS #5101089 for details.
