Beautiful Dorset Contemporary Offering Privacy, Comfort, and Easy Living. If you’ve been looking for a private Vermont retreat with room to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of every season, this exceptional custom home may be the perfect fit. Built in 1996 by respected Dorset builder Keith Dodson, this thoughtfully designed 5,731 sq. ft. contemporary sits on 12.15 peaceful acres with a pond and detached four-car garage.

The kitchen features cherry cabinets, Corian countertops, a large island, cathedral ceiling, and easy access to the screened porch, an ideal spot for morning coffee or quiet summer evenings. The dramatic great room creates a wonderful gathering space, with its soaring two-story cathedral ceiling, skylights, exposed beams, built-ins, window seats, and balcony overlook. Throughout the home, warm details such as vertical pine walls, granite stone-faced fireplaces, and generous natural light add character and charm. The exterior combines cedar siding, granite stone accents, and a slate roof for lasting beauty and durability. A detached four-bay garage with direct entry and second-floor storage adds convenience and flexibility. This is a special property for those seeking quality construction, privacy, and a relaxed country lifestyle in one of Vermont's most desirable settings.
