With views over Lake Champlain and nearby farms toward the Adirondacks, this brand new showplace of over 5,000 square feet is the dream home of an admired local builder. The quality of the materials and the finish work is unmatched. With 75 windows and a hilltop setting, sunlight and breezes abound.

A fireplace with wood box constructed of local fieldstone rises to the great room’s vaulted cathedral ceiling. A wood burning stove lends warmth and an old-fashioned charm to the large kitchen/dining area. Tucked away on the south side of the kitchen is a cozy breakfast area with views of the extensive gardens. The bedroom on the first floor could function as an office. Decks and a covered porch surround three sides of the house.

The second floor master suite has a walk-through closet and comfortable sitting room. The third floor features an enormous light-filled room, presently used as a craft and sewing studio.

Newly licensed as a Bed & Breakfast and with it own private entrance, one end of the home feature a large handicap-accessible bedroom with bath on the first floor and an apartment with kitchen on the second floor. Visit Maple Ridge Bed And Breakfast for more information.

Offered with thirteen acres, more land is available.

While the home has end-of-the-road privacy and enormous views, it is a short drive to the unspoiled village of Orwell and Mt Independence, a State Historic Site from the American Revolutionary War, recently named “Best Hike Through History” by Yankee Magazine.
