We could boast about this home's location providing an easy commute to Middlebury and Burlington, minutes to the Charlotte-Essex ferry and the town beach, one mile from Charlotte's town center and a short drive to Charlotte Central School; the sunny master bedroom with custom-built walk-in shower and soaking tub, second story laundry room, large bedrooms and sun-filled office; hardwood floors throughout, and quality workmanship by one of Charlotte's most sought after builders; the beautiful outdoor sauna; 26 acres in current use; the 6 bedroom septic design allowing for easy expansion. Good reasons all, but you'll want this home because it is magical- windswept fields, big sky, pink sunrises and orange sunsets, the scent of lilacs in spring and cozy warmth of the wood fired bread oven in winter. The family that falls in love with this home will do so not because it's in one of Vermont's best school districts, but because they want to live an extraordinary life, cooking meals in a kitchen that is made for joyful celebration, enjoying coffee and a cuddle on the daybed looking out over the eastern pasture, relaxing on the front porch at the end of the day in the warmth of the evening sun. This home's next family will add to the love and joy this property has already hosted- holidays and weddings, reunions and bonfires. This is a place not just to live, but to love. This is homesteading in style. Owner is a licensed Vermont real estate broker.
