Located near the Canadian border, and in the heart of Vermont farmland, sits the Belvedere Chateau - named for the affection of a European palace. After searching for a building site for years, the location was chosen for being off the beaten path, with a beautiful Vermont mountain landscape, peaceful surroundings of the swimming pond, 49 acres of privacy, and access to great outdoor recreation - skiing, snowmobiling, golf, biking, sailing, and more. The drive into Belvedere crests on a farm field plateau, then descends into a stunning landscaped setting of total privacy. The home is rich with sophistication and elegance, and finished with fine craftsmanship and materials. Cosmetic changes can be made to create a more rustic decor if preferred. The master suite is a wing unto itself. After brewing at the coffee bar, you can enjoy your book by the warmth from the fireplace in the winter, and from the deck overlooking the pond in the summer. Multiple gathering spaces, with 4 working fireplaces, include an inviting sitting area in the loft, a study/library, a media room, a wood paneled club-like game room, and Sparkles pub. Local attractions include - Jay Peak, with the highest annual snowfall in the east, year after year, is only 20 minutes away. 25 mile long Lake Memphremagog in Newport, VT is 20 minutes away. The Canadian border entry is 5 miles and Montreal is 1.5 hrs away.
