10.5 Acres of Land with Home for Sale in Shelburne, Vermont

One of only 9 private estates within Shelburne Farms, Deer Hill is exquisite in its execution and location. Intensely private, it is only accessed via a private wooded road deep within the 1,400+/- acres of surrounding Shelburne Farms conserved lands. Sited on 10.5 acres with over 180-degree views of Lake Champlain and the High Peaks of the Adirondacks over verdant wildflower meadows, the property includes 100 feet of beach shoreline that abuts 2,000+/- feet of contiguous conserved lakeshore. The custom designed 7,100+/- sf, 5 bedroom (capacity), 6 bath main residence takes advantage of this setting with lake and mountain views from numerous rooms and successfully defines the warm modern aesthetic. Entirely clad in renewable cedar with powder-coated aluminum trim, the main house sets the overall tone with its stunning entry that features a variety of styles that work effortlessly together, a theme carried throughout. A bluestone walkway off the crushed stone private drive leads to the covered porch with flowing water underfoot over smooth pebbles culminating in a waterfall that evokes Japanese influences. The custom-made double mahogany entry door in the Frank Lloyd Wright style leads to the see-through formal entry that features eclectic materials such as Italian marble, warm walnut, hot and cold-rolled steel, red lacquer, slumped glass and black marble. All combine to create a wonderfully livable space perfect for entertaining and just enjoying.
