Set on 13.2 acres in Stockbridge, Vermont, this property offers a true mountainside retreat defined by privacy, natural beauty, and a sense of seclusion. A class IV road provides rugged access while keeping the land separated from traffic and neighborhoods. Cold Brook runs roughly 500 feet along the property, adding a scenic and calming water feature. The varied terrain invites exploration through wooded areas and open spaces, encouraging wildlife observation and immersion in the natural rhythms of the Vermont landscape. It is ideal for those who value solitude, space, and a strong connection to nature.
Despite its remote setting, the property is conveniently close to Rochester, offering access to essential services, small shops, and local amenities. This proximity provides a balance between quiet, retreat-like living and practical access to daily necessities. The combination of remote tranquility with nearby small-town warmth allows residents to enjoy solitude without sacrificing convenience, making the property both peaceful and functional as a long-term retreat.
A 448-square-foot cabin sits on the land, offering one bedroom and one bathroom. The rustic structure functions as a basecamp rather than a full-scale home, encouraging simplicity and outdoor-focused living. Its interior supports straightforward routines like warming up after a hike, preparing meals, and resting before another day of exploration. The cabin complements the natural surroundings, creating a space where the forest and mountains remain the centerpiece of life on the property.
Outdoor recreation enhances the appeal of the area, with trails maintained by the Ridgeline Outdoor Collective for mountain biking, running, and hiking. In winter, the extensive VAST snowmobile network enables cross-country skiing, backcountry exploration, and snowmobiling. The surrounding communities and landscape emphasize slower rhythms, thoughtful living, and connection to the land. Together, the cabin, acreage, and regional opportunities create a four-season retreat for those seeking solitude, adventure, and a deep sense of place.
