LOW TAXES! Six oversized garage bays across two multi-level outbuildings, direct access to National Forest, backyard waterfalls, and 5.4 private acres make this gated Southern Vermont retreat unlike anything else near Wilmington. Just five miles from downtown Wilmington and less than 12 miles from Mount Snow, the property combines substantial space for living and entertaining with exceptional room for vehicles, boats, equipment, collections, creative pursuits, and outdoor recreation. The multi-level outbuildings expand the possibilities well beyond vehicle storage, with flexible finished and unfinished areas suitable for recreation, hobbies, collections, equipment, workshop use, or additional gathering space. Inside, post-and-beam warmth, hardwood floors, neutral finishes, a spacious kitchen with a large center island, updated baths with custom tile, and two oversized stone fireplaces create an inviting Vermont atmosphere. A private primary suite wing offers a well-appointed bath, office and walk-in closet, while multiple ensuite guest rooms and gathering spaces extend across three levels. Outdoor living is equally distinctive, with established gardens, more than 65 perennials, easy-care grounds, a large deck, and sitting areas for listening to the waterfalls or enjoying the forest. Redone driveways and generous parking support everyday use and entertaining, and one outbuilding has been newly insulated and finished with a pellet stove. Enjoy exceptional access to Southern Vermont recreation: under four miles to High Country Marine on Harriman Reservoir, about one mile to Searsburg Reservoir, eight miles to Somerset Reservoir, near the Deerfield River, five miles to downtown Wilmington, under 12 miles to Mount Snow, and under 10 miles to The Hermitage. Located on the Wilmington side of the mountain with paved-road access, full school choice and no zoning, this property brings together privacy, convenience, water, forest, flexible space, and year-round recreation.
