Description
Set high above the surrounding countryside with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, this exceptional Derby property offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and possibility in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Set on 14.8 acres, the custom-built home was thoughtfully designed for comfortable everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. Soaring ceilings, dramatic open spaces, a stunning stone fireplace, and walls of windows create a striking first impression while keeping the surrounding landscape front and center. The chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring premium Miele and Dacor appliances, custom cabinetry, abundant workspace, and an effortless flow into the dining and living areas. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with its own deck, spa-inspired bath, and breathtaking views. Upstairs, generously sized guest bedrooms, charming architectural details, and inviting spaces provide room for everyone to feel at home. Expansive decking makes the most of the panoramic setting, whether hosting guests or simply enjoying Vermont’s changing seasons. Additional highlights include a heated attached garage, substantial unfinished bonus space above the garage, and a radiant-heated walkout lower level with multiple exterior access points. These areas offer exceptional flexibility for future living space, recreation, a studio, workshop, or home office. Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add comfort and convenience. Whether you are seeking a luxury primary residence, a Vermont retreat, or an extraordinary property with privacy and room to grow, 1784 Nelson Hill Road is a truly special offering. For buyers seeking a larger estate, an additional 70.9 acres consisting of four separately subdivided parcels may also be purchased with the home. See MLS #5101089 for details.
