Escape to your authentic Vermont treehouse, a true rustic homestead rooted deep in the hillside and reaching toward the sky. Perched above the endless, whispering canopy of the Green Mountain National Forest, this private three-bedroom, two-bath retreat is a hidden world of its own. Inside, morning light bathes the kitchen, while every window serves as a natural frame for a living landscape that shifts with the seasons. Over the last twenty years, the owner has carefully cultivated a vision here—a commitment to independence, creativity, and a genuine, deep connection to the land. Just above the main residence, with some additional work, the original one-room sky cabin will offer a soulful little perch overlooking the property—an ideal sanctuary, off-grid studio, or quiet place to dream. This retreat is set in the gentle rhythm of your own 12 acres, yet remains minutes from all the Green Mountains have to offer. In the main gathering space, you'll feel like you are looking out over the treetops—an ever-changing, rugged canvas of green, gold, and snow. For those dedicated to a simpler, freer way of living, the groundwork for self-sufficiency is established. With solar in place and hydro possibilities, this property offers a clear path toward off-grid life—should you choose to follow it. This is more than a home; it's a place to live lightly, breathe deeply, hike and snowshoe on your own established trails and forge a lifestyle entirely your own. This peaceful location is just outside the charming Village of Belmont, Vermont—only a short walk to the new Belmont General Store and the waters of Star Lake, and twenty minutes to Rutland and Ludlow
