The space Secluded Sanctuary Beautifully situated on the bank of Wardsboro Brook, this secluded, family-friendly home is a place to find ease, relaxation, and wonderful access to outdoor recreation in every season. Skiing at Mount Snow and Stratton Mountain, kayaking and paddleboarding at Grout Pond, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail - it's all within a few minutes' drive. Snowmobiling on the VAST Trail System is just up the hill. This peaceful, tree-lined home is nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest along Wardsboro Brook, allowing you to nap in the hammock or picnic at the water’s edge, and host family badminton or croquet tournaments in the yard. Ascending the wheelchair ramp or the unique flight of stairs brings you to the large, partially shaded deck – a place to barbecue, dine outdoors, and soak up the summer sun with a view of the surrounding woods. Inside, the home is spread out across multiple levels. The main living space features a great room with two sofas and a wood-burning fireplace, a fully appointed kitchen with two eat-in tables, and a door that leads outside to the deck. Cozy up to the fire with a blanket and a good book while supper is cooking. Ascending up half a flight of stairs is the sitting room – a great place to watch TV, log onto the WiFi and catch up on a bit of work, or set up a board game at night. The basement features a Ping-Pong table for hours of evening entertainment as well. There is a VAST SNOWMOBILE system in the neighborhood, Appalachian Trail 6.8 miles, and Manchester shops 27 miles. After a day spent hiking, skiing/snowmobiling, or kayaking (with two kayaks and life jackets provided), you’ll find three of the bedrooms on the main floor, including a primary suite with A/C, a private bathroom, and its own back deck. The fourth bedroom is upstairs offering its own bathroom, balcony, and A/C as well.
