Perched in the hills of Norwich, Vermont, this curated "Scandinavian-esk" property offers exceptional contemporary living surrounded by nature's inspiring beauty. Architecturally redesigned by Smith and Vansant in 2010, this home offers an open floor plan with easy gathering spaces bathed in natural light and warmed by the Finnish Tulikivi soapstone stove. The French doors open to a patio, an airy deck, and three season porch which overlook the property's park-like setting. The second and third floors offer multiple bedroom configurations as well as a lovely Primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private deck for morning coffee. Stroll along stone pathways through the extensive perennial gardens designed by Ben Falk of Whole Systems Design. Invite friends and family to stay in the contemporary studio guest cottage which overlooks the apple and pear orchard, or in the rustic Writer's Cabin with a wood stove, sleeping lofts, Swedish composting toilet, and kitchenette, or in the tiny house by the stream. The barn offers two parking bays, extra storage, and a workshop. This idyllic 10-acre property with broad Southern exposure and 37 solar panels (a near-net-zero home) is bordered on three sides by the Norwich Town Forest, Upper Valley Land Trust, and National Forest, offering exceptional privacy and direct access to walking, hiking, and skiing trails.
