1318 Boro Hill Road

Beautifully located on an elevated flat meadow nestled between two rock ledges, this log home in Monkton has been with the same family since it was constructed in 1977. Built along 9 acres of the ridge, the land offers special elements like a stone staircase winding up through the woods taking you to a lily pond - a stunning spot to rest, play, or just enjoy the wildlife. Along the northern end of the property, you'll see raised garden beds and a broad field, perfect for gardening or strolls through the mowed path along the ridge. This field and access to the pond can be viewed from the expansive deck as well as the screened porch on the west side of the home. Once you step inside, it is as if you have gone back in time as you take in the large stone hearth fireplace, vaulted log ceiling and unique character of the home's construction. The warm and rich interior showcases an open living, kitchen and dining room with a live edge kitchen counter top and rustic touches everywhere you look. A bathroom with washer and dryer as well as a corner bedroom complete the first floor. Upstairs in the loft, you'll find a second bedroom space comprised of two rooms that are open to the lower level, as well as access to the second floor addition. That space has its own exterior access and includes two separate rooms, great for storage, an office, or crafting! Nearby you can experience The Little Hogback Community Forest in Monkton, comprising 115 acres of conserved land, or take a hike through Ravens Ridge Natural area, a 363 acre nature preserve. Whether you are considering a vacation home in Vermont, or wish to have a rustic log residence within easy commuting distance to both Burlington and Middlebury, this property offers a unique and affordable opportunity!
