Looking for a retreat home with private trails, an easy access to Lake Raponda, enjoy skiing and trail riding, only minutes away? If so, this charming home on 11.77 acres may be perfect to meet all of your wishes. Originally built in 1981, the home was completely renovated and expanded to almost double its footprint in 2002. Offering four bedrooms and three baths, on one level and a large walkout and partially finished basement. Enjoy open concept gathering rooms with radiant heat and lots of windows, taking in the lovely and private wooded setting. The living areas are spacious with high ceilings open to a loft space above a beautiful brick Rumford fireplace for added ambiance and woodstove for that 'Vermonty' feel. The partially finished 750 sf basement, with full size windows, is ready to utilize as a family room, gym, or office, or you may choose to fully finish the walkout basement to double the living space. The owners added a deck, post and beam car port, screened porch, outdoor shower, Jamaica Cottage Shed for storage of garden and trail needs, and developed a meandering trail system through the 11+ acres. Just 2 1/2 hours to Boston and 4 to NYC, this is a wonderful spot in southern Vermont close to skiing and lakes.
