Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road in the heart of the Mad River Valley, this especially unique property offers the rare combination of privacy, tranquility, natural beauty, and proximity to the region's best outdoor recreation. Step outside and you are thirty seconds from the Valley's premier mountain biking and state forest trails. Enjoy three renowned ski areas just minutes away, or cruise down the hill to quaint Waitsfield village. Nestled on 2.3 acres of thoughtfully landscaped perennial gardens, expansive lawns, and a babbling brook, the setting is as inviting as the home itself. Multiple porches, a screened outdoor living space, and a cedar pergola sheltering an outdoor kitchen create seamless spaces for entertaining, quiet mornings, and long summer evenings. Inside, this thoughtfully designed residence is filled with natural light and an inviting sense of warmth. The spacious living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flows into the home's generous gathering spaces. A well-appointed chef's kitchen opens directly to the screened porch, offering perfect opportunities for indoor and outdoor living. Four bedrooms, including a spacious, comfortable primary suite with a private covered deck, provide ample space for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. High speed fiber optic internet connectivity offers opportunities to work from home and still catch first tracks on an epic powder day. Practical amenities, including a heated mudroom, attached two-car garage, fitness space, and heated workshop ideal for ski tuning, bike maintenance, or creative pursuits, support an active Vermont lifestyle. Whether your perfect day begins on the trails, the slopes, or in the garden, this is a home designed to embrace every season and offer a peaceful retreat at day's end. Showings start 8/14/26
