About this home
High above the countryside, with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, 1784 Nelson Hill Road offers 85.7 acres of Vermont beauty, privacy, and possibility. Rolling, long-maintained hayfields, wooded surroundings, and a custom-built residence create a setting equally compelling as a private retreat or a place to explore a larger vision. Designed for comfortable living and memorable gatherings, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, a striking stone fireplace, and a chef's kitchen with Miele and Dacor appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous entertaining space. The first-floor primary suite offers a private deck, spa-inspired bath, and panoramic views, while spacious upper-level bedrooms welcome guests. Expansive decking brings the landscape into everyday life. A heated attached garage, substantial unfinished space above it, and a radiant-heated walkout lower level offer flexibility for hobbies, recreation, or future finished space. Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add convenience. The offering combines a 14.8-acre homesite with 70.9 additional acres already divided into four separate parcels. The land invites a range of ideas: a multigenerational retreat, continued agricultural use, or exploration of a boutique lodging, event, vineyard, or recreational concept. These are possibilities to investigate, not approved uses; buyers should verify zoning, access, infrastructure, permits, and all applicable state and local requirements. Whether preserved as a private legacy estate or considered for a carefully planned next chapter, this is an opportunity to own a remarkable stretch of the Northeast Kingdom. Also available is the home and 14.8 acres for $1,199,999. See MLS #5090122 for details.
