High above the countryside, with sweeping views toward Salem Lake and the mountains beyond, 1784 Nelson Hill Road offers 85.7 acres of Vermont beauty, privacy, and possibility. Rolling, long-maintained hayfields, wooded surroundings, and a custom-built residence create a setting equally compelling as a private retreat or a place to explore a larger vision. Designed for comfortable living and memorable gatherings, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, a striking stone fireplace, and a chef's kitchen with Miele and Dacor appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous entertaining space. The first-floor primary suite offers a private deck, spa-inspired bath, and panoramic views, while spacious upper-level bedrooms welcome guests. Expansive decking brings the landscape into everyday life. A heated attached garage, substantial unfinished space above it, and a radiant-heated walkout lower level offer flexibility for hobbies, recreation, or future finished space. Generator wiring and a whole-house fan add convenience. The offering combines a 14.8-acre homesite with 70.9 additional acres already divided into four separate parcels. The land invites a range of ideas: a multigenerational retreat, continued agricultural use, or exploration of a boutique lodging, event, vineyard, or recreational concept. These are possibilities to investigate, not approved uses; buyers should verify zoning, access, infrastructure, permits, and all applicable state and local requirements. Whether preserved as a private legacy estate or considered for a carefully planned next chapter, this is an opportunity to own a remarkable stretch of the Northeast Kingdom. Also available is the home and 14.8 acres for $1,199,999. See MLS #5090122 for details.
