Late light catches the grain of the timber as the stone wall's shadows reach across the grounds. When the air cools before conversation ends, the evening moves around the fire. At 1024 Bacon Hollow Road in Sunderland, classic log construction & warm woodwork give the feel of a cabin tucked in between the mountains. The 3 bedrooms look out across the level expansive lawn. A few neighboring homes give the road a settled character, w/room between them for the yard to feel private. The Battenkill winds through the valley, close enough for a spontaneous outing by the water, and Kelley Stand Road leads to wooded trails in the Green Mountain National Forest where you can set out for Stratton Pond or pick up the Long Trail. Enjoy local artisan shops & restaurants, the Southern VT Art Center and Dorset Playhouse theatre are a short drive away as well as many schools and other outstanding amenities. When snow settles on the mountains, Bromley, Stratton, Magic & surrounding ski resorts are within reach. Back home, the carport gives cover to unload skis, groceries and all seasonal items. The detached two-car garage has open useable space upstairs and a storage room off the back has a concrete floor, once used as horse stalls and a dog kennel.
