About this property

Custom Home in Cornwall - 5 Minutes to Middlebury College

Custom home built by the owner in 2004. Country setting in an orchard with Middlebury College just a five minute drive away. This is a quiet neighborhood surrounded by rural properties, operating farms and orchards. The house has 3 levels with the main living area on the 2nd floor. This is a great space for a relaxing getaway; an artists retreat or for a group of skiers, riders or hikers. Come back after a day of outdoor adventure to warm radiant heat under elm and tiled floors. Or cool off in the summer with air conditioning and fresh night air. Several architectural details created from local hardwoods. The 2nd level has a large private deck facing west for evening sunsets, bbq grilling and star gazing. This level includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area; one queen bedroom and a large bathroom/laundry. The shower is floor to ceiling travertine with built in bench. The upper loft is two spaces separated by a curved balcony. One end is for reading - with a work desk, monitor and printer. The other loft space has two full size beds tucked out of the way. Please note the steps to the loft are steep and not recommended for everyone. The first level entry has large built in cubbies and storage spaces for ski gear and backpacks. There's a private, queen sized bedroom plus it's own bathroom with walk in tiled shower. This is a great house to relax, read, write, paint or create. It's also a great jumping off place for a huge variety of activities.

Beautiful home for a comfortable family vacation
This home was absolutely perfect for our small family vacation in and around Middlebury. It was clean, comfortable and pleasant to stay in, on a quiet road very close to downtown Middlebury. It was a great jumping off point for hikes, lake swimming and getting around town. The host was friendly and communicative and answered all questions in a timely fashion. This was a fantastic place to stay - we would absolutely come back.

Perfect winter getaway
Noel’s home is perfect for our family, and we’ve enjoyed returning again and again. It’s very clean and well-appointed, and the location can’t be beat! We’ve enjoyed local hikes in all seasons, and this time added in a short trip to Burlington to visit the ECHO science museum. Our young son loves the large front yard and also enjoys watching the neighbor donkeys from the windows. We’ve even spotted deer and a hawk! Thank you, Noel, for sharing this wonderful Vermont spot.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022
