This Roxbury pied-à-terre naturally induces the Japanese practice of "forest bathing", where one finds serenity through immersion in the atmosphere of a quiet forest. Woods & gardens meld in harmony with craftsmanship & 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 & luxury appointments lovingly created by its owners these past 20+ years as built by local craftsmen at Ritzer & Associates. Both the home & barn showcase custom maple cabinetry, premium appliances, beautifully finished baths, timeless materials & 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 ¾ 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 & 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, and a 3-bay equipment shed. A generator, a grid-tied 40 panel solar array, a Level 2 charger & 2 Powerwall 3's provides resiliency & savings. Fiber is available. This is a carefully curated retreat from the hustle & bustle tucked on to 11+ wooded acres yet found midway between I-89 Exits 4 or 5 & Sugarbush. The home is perfectly positioned for year-round recreation. Enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, golf & nearby swimming holes in summer, with Sugarbush just 15+ minutes away and Mad River Glen, Stowe, the Middlebury Snow Bowl & 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.
