Set along the scenic west shore of South Hero among upscale homes and lake properties this exceptionally private contemporary retreat with hiking and cross -country Ski trails is nestled on 10 wooded acres surrounded by mature maples, cedars, and pines. Thoughtfully renovated and reimagined, the home's distinctive elevated design embraces its natural setting with multiple levels, abundant windows, and an extraordinary amount of natural light throughout. Extensive 2023-2025 improvements include new heating, plumbing, mini-split heat pumps and electrical systems, along with a beautifully renovated kitchen and dining area featuring stainless steel appliances, honed granite countertops, Omega soft-close cabinetry, updated lighting, and Hallmark solid hickory flooring. A former screened porch has been transformed into a cozy year-round living space complete with built-in bookshelves, a charming window seat, and a Vermont Castings LP gas stove. New decking wraps nearly the entire residence, creating multiple outdoor spaces for entertaining, alfresco dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful woodland surroundings. The spacious primary suite offers a private office nook, wood flooring, a Minka-Aire ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with quality finishes and custom tile work. A former Pottery Studio was renovated, insulated, heating installed and refinished with tongue-and-groove pine walls and a finished second floor with premium wood laminate flooring. It also includes a state of Vermont permit for use as an accessory dwelling unit. A 3rd structure on the property, a former vintage cottage was relocated and now serves as a workshop with new siding and electrical service. An amazing bike friendly Island property close to Folsom School, South Hero Village, Snow Farm Vineyard and lots of restaurants , shops and apple orchards. Visit for a day and you'll want to stay a lifetime!
