Property Description

 

Charming Vermont Chalet on 3 Pastoral Acres Backing Up to Merck Forest! Embrace the ultimate Vermont lifestyle with this versatile 1970s chalet on +/-3 pristine acres of open pasture and woods. Located on a quiet country road bordering the 3,000+ acre Merck Forest & Farmland Center, this property offers incredible privacy and direct outdoor access. Perfectly suited as a year-round home, ski getaway, or mini-farm, it features some recent updates, including a propane furnace and electric hot water heater (both under 10 years old). The home does need some TLC, including new windows and a new sliding glass door, providing a great opportunity to build equity. Property Highlights: 3-Level Chalet Layout: Ground Floor: Mudroom/utility entry, open-concept kitchen and dining family room area with patio access, and a full bath. Main (2nd) Level: Light-filled living room with cathedral ceilings, wood stove, and deck access. Primary suite including a 3/4 bath plus a flexible space for an office or walk-in closet. Third Level: Top-floor loft bedroom, ideal for guests or additional living space. Land & Outbuildings: 3 Acres: Mix of pasture and woods, ideal for gardening or homesteading. Detached 2-Car Garage: Ample room for vehicles, gear, or a workshop. Livestock-Ready: Includes a run-in shed for horses, sheep, or goats. Prime Location: 5-7 minutes to historic Dorset Village; 15–20 minutes to Manchester shopping, dining, and nearby ski resorts.
