This Roxbury pied-a-terre naturally induces the Japanese practice of "forest bathing", where one finds serenity through immersion in the atmosphere of a quiet forest. Woods and gardens meld in harmony with craftsmanship and thoughtful design inviting you to experience the very best of Vermont nature living. Originally built as a vacation home, the property is packed with functional and luxury appointments lovingly created by its owners these past 20+ years as built by local craftsmen at Ritzer and Associates. Both the home and barn showcase custom maple cabinetry, premium appliances, beautifully finished baths, timeless materials and more. The welcoming kitchen opens to a cozy living room anchored by a beautiful custom stone hearth and wood insert. A main-level bedroom and 3/4 bath provide comfortable guest accommodations, while the screened porch with its unique stone fireplace grill is destined to become your favorite gathering place. The loft-style primary suite offers a peaceful escape and the dry snug basement is partially finished. The home is complemented by a 2-vehicle barn with a well-appointed ADU above, beautifully designed gardens, a charming garden shed, a chicken coop and a 3-bay equipment shed. A generator, a grid-tied 40 panel solar array, a Level 2 charger and 2 Powerwall 3's provides resiliency and savings. Fiber is available. This is a carefully curated retreat from the hustle and bustle tucked on to 11+ wooded acres yet found midway between I-89 Exits 4 or 5 and Sugarbush. The home is perfectly positioned for year-round recreation. Enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, golf and nearby swimming holes in summer, with Sugarbush just 15+ minutes away and Mad River Glen, Stowe, the Middlebury Snow Bowl and Killington within easy reach. From the moment you turn off Town maintained West Hill Road, you'll know you've arrived somewhere special as every inch of this sanctuary reflects a passion for intentionally weaving exceptional quality into a peaceful Vermont lifestyle.
