Nestled in the foothills of Green Mountains, this 3-bedroom 2 1/2 bath modern Log Home sits on 26 acres of land bordering Sadawga Lake. The home aligns perfectly South, with a cathedral wall of windows letting the sunlight brighten the main living area and provide passive solar heat. The state-of-the-art kitchen is designed for two chefs cooking together, features two kitchen sinks, Miele appliances including a double stove (steam/ convection), and on the island a deep-frying station, electric barbecue, and a large gas burner. Granite countertops, stainless appliances, and plenty of room to entertain in this open concept living/dining and kitchen area. French doors connect the second-floor master bedroom to the bath with a marble-framed jacuzzi tub, shower, granite countertop, and marble floor. The fully built-out walk-in basement features a laundry room, ½ bath, workshop, pantry and storage, and a large recreation area. This property is a natural habitat with a wildflower meadow of native forbs and grasses and 21 acres of undeveloped wild forest. The garden has 5 raised beds, a sturdy grapevine trellis, blueberries, currants, nuts, and fruit trees. Just 0.7 miles from the center and Route 100, the setting combines convenience with privacy on a town-maintained cul-de-sac. The property is a double lot, so you could build another house or cabin to the north or down on the shore of Lake Sadawga, where you find approximately 1,600 feet of lake frontage.
