50 Fog Valley Road

Welcome to Fog Valley.Tucked onto 10+ mostly open acres framed by neighboring open land and hayed fields, this home offers exceptional privacy, usable outdoor space and sweeping pastoral and mountain views. Set well back along a private drive and sheltered by mature trees, it feels wonderfully secluded yet stays convenient to Bristol, Middlebury and Vergennes. The redesigned floor plan puts the living where the views are. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings, abundant windows and an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area create a bright, airy gathering space, along with a sunroom, flexible home office/bonus space, half bath and deck off the dining area. Three bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room sit together on the walk-out lower level, naturally cooler in summer and cozy in winter. Flexible heat comes from a propane hot-water system serving baseboard and radiant floor, plus a wood pellet stove. Recent updates: 2023 Owens Corning roof, new stainless kitchen appliances, fresh interior paint and new flooring. The grounds are made for growing, with mature trees and flowering shrubs plus metal raised garden beds that are ready to plant. The owners have grown fruit, vegetables and flowers here for years. Under the stars or on a summer afternoon, you can enjoy the swings beneath the pergola draped in edible grapevines beside the crabapple trees. A clothesline, chicken coop and large shed with a new metal roof add utility and storage, while about a quarter-mile of cedar-post, tension-wire fencing runs along one edge of the property. The setting shifts beautifully with the seasons, from brilliant fall color to snowy winter views up the valley, where moose have crossed the open fields. The nearby New Haven River offers swimming and fly-fishing, with hiking, skiing and more throughout the region. Employment, culture and recreation oppertunities all well within reach. Private without being isolated, room to garden, explore, gather, work from home or simply enjoy the view.
