A stone bridge and layered landscaping set the tone for this private 5.8-acre estate near downtown Middlebury. Inside, the home has been modernized—redesigned and furnished for a part-time retreat, though fully equipped for year-round living. Vaulted ceilings, high windows, and lit beams draw light into the open-concept living area and kitchen, where original tile and hardware meet new hardwood flooring, Ayr cabinetry, and a statement three-sided gas fireplace. The dining room and hearth offer an interlude between the main spaces with a natural extension to the sunroom and patios. Every light, rug, seat, book, throw, and furnishing has been carefully chosen and is included in the sale—making this home ready to be lived in. The primary suite features its own fireplace, skylights, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. On the other side of the home are additional bedrooms and a sitting room. Downstairs, you’ll find a tiered theater room and kitchenette, two half baths, and an open versatile space, all fit for hosting large groups. Outside, enjoy the pool and outdoor kitchen, and a hillside firepit overlooking the Little Elkhart River. In total, the home has 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 4 half baths, two laundry areas, and a 5-car garage. A detached garage offers four stalls, one RV stall, and RV hookups. The home has two heating sources: gas forced air and geothermal via pond. From high ceilings to rolling grounds, this property reflects extravagant living and well-kept spaces—the perfect backdrop for your next chapter.
