Seize the best of both worlds with this charming escape encircled by soaring pines. You’ll be oh so close to all Jay Peak has to offer – deep powder snow skiing, a Graham Cooke-designed Championship golf course, indoor water park, ice arena, and much more – while escaping the crowds and embracing privacy. Natural wood siding allows this 1985-built home to blend into its surroundings on the 1.22-acre lot, complete with a stream along the southern boundary. The interior offers 1,264 square feet of space, including 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The heart of the home, however, is the double-sided fieldstone wood-burning fireplace that stretches to the top of the vaulted ceiling in the living room, with the other side facing the dining room. Open to the dining room, the U-shaped kitchen has plenty of storage and counter space, as well as seating at the peninsula. Glass doors in the dining room lead out to a large deck overlooking the naturally shaded backyard. After a day on the trails or on the golf course, you’ll appreciate having your very own sauna to ease your muscles, and the short drive to the village for a quiet dinner at the inn or to stock up on supplies. A carport keeps the snow from piling up on your car, and the shed provides storage for skis, bikes, and other gear. Located at the top of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom just 1.5 hours from Burlington, 2 hours from Montreal, and 3.5 hours from Boston.
