Perched high above Lake Memphremagog, this fully reimagined Vermont retreat offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the Northeast Kingdom, stretching north into Canada & south toward Willoughby Gap. Set on 8 acres of mostly open meadow, the property's elevated position & natural landscape provide rare privacy while preserving extraordinary long-range lake & mountain views. Originally constructed in 1990, the home has undergone an extensive transformation, creating 3 levels of warm, inviting space. Handcrafted woodwork & abundant natural light create a true Vermont lodge experience w/ modern comfort & efficiency. A young vineyard, berries & fruit trees add to the setting. Large windows frame unforgettable sunrises over the lake, while a spacious great room, updated kitchen & flexible gathering spaces make this a remarkable place to host family & friends. The finished upper level, created from the original attic, offers additional flexible space & a custom-built balcony overlooking the lake. The lower level features a large community-style room w/ woodstove & brick hearth, plus a separate entrance offering flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. A newly built, heated outbuilding provides space for woodworking & hobbies. Minutes from Jay Peak Resort & nearby lake access, enjoy world-class skiing, boating & four-season recreation from an extraordinary Vermont setting equally suited to quiet retreat or memorable gatherings.
