1784 Nelson Hill Road

Set high above the surrounding countryside with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, this extraordinary 85.7 acre estate offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, open land, and future possibilities. Thoughtfully positioned to capture the spectacular setting, the custom-built residence was designed for elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Soaring ceilings, dramatic open spaces, a stunning stone fireplace, and walls of windows showcase the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features premium appliances, custom cabinetry, generous workspace, and an effortless connection to the dining and living areas. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a private deck, spa-inspired bath, and panoramic views. Spacious guest bedrooms and thoughtfully designed living spaces continue throughout the upper level. Expansive decks overlook rolling fields and distant mountains, offering the perfect place to enjoy Vermont’s changing seasons. Additional features 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 outstanding potential for future living space, recreation, a studio, or multigenerational use. Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add everyday convenience. Beyond the 14.8-acre homesite, an additional 70.9 acres are included and have already been subdivided into four separate parcels. This creates exceptional flexibility for a future family compound, guest residences subject to applicable permits and approvals, agricultural use, long-term investment, or preservation of the property’s privacy and pastoral surroundings. The open fields have been carefully maintained and hayed for decades. Whether envisioned as a luxury primary residence, Vermont retreat, or legacy estate, this is a remarkable opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of the NEK.
