884 Bridgewater Center RoadBridgewater, VT 05034Price: $1,150,000

Tucked on 13.68 private acres near the north branch of the Ottauquechee River, this one-owner Bridgewater estate was built from the ground up with uncommon care - and it shows in every detail. With 4,300 square feet of living space (6,700 total), the home is heated by radiant flooring throughout and served by a new furnace/boiler, a private septic system, and a private well known for its delicious water. At the heart of the home, an epicurean kitchen with an adjoining scullery is designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining, with two dining rooms for gathering. The primary suite occupies its own wing: a fireplace, a full soaking tub, a freestanding sink, a lighted mirror, a shower, and a water closet, plus two walk-in closets - one complete with its own laundry and sink. A three-car garage with automatic doors adds everyday ease. The land is every bit as remarkable. Rich soils nurture blooming flowers - the air smells incredible this time of year - and the property is a true natural habitat where birds, foxes, deer, and the occasional bear wander through. Despite its proximity to the river, the home sits outside the FEMA flood plain. Between Woodstock and Killington, this is Vermont living at its most gracious - private, peaceful, and built to last.
