Large acreage and vast views. The cabin on Steadman Hill is a newly finished off-grid home on 477 acres. With breathtaking south-facing views of a large meadow and the Green Mtns, this retreat offers an inspiring setting to write the great American novel, create art, or simply enjoy the peacefulness in nature. The mature woodlands are filled with towering oak, maple and beech trees. The land is crisscrossed by historic stone walls, offering a glimpse into another time when sheep once grazed on the hillside. Trails abound. A path to a clearing at the summit of Steadman Hill at 2,300' elevation reveals dramatic views in all four directions. The post & beam cabin is designed with high-end finishes and modern amenities and powered by an 8 panel solar array. Inside, the kitchen has custom Wood Mode cabinets, a Sub-Zero under-counter fridge, and a Wolf cooktop. The two bathrooms have Waterworks faucets and towel racks. A woodstove is vented through the stone fireplace. The second floor includes three Murphy beds for a flexible use of space and cedar lined built-in storage chests under the windows. The lower level features a wood stove, built-in cabinets and shelves, and walk-out glass doors to a stone terrace under the wrap around deck. Also, above is a screened porch. Five brooks originate on the property, four feeding into Potash Brook, while the fifth flows into Chase Brook. 4-bedroom septic system. There is potential for internet access through Starlink. Showings begin 10/4.
