FULL DESCRIPTION (Please read entirely)

One of the most modern and unique homes in the Jay Peak area, available now for the first time on the short term rental market. The stunning modern-contemporary farmhouse underwent a full tear-down rebuild in 2021. It sits on one of the most scenic lots in the region, one of the only lots with full 360 mountain views including unobstructed views of the Jay Peak summit tower, Big Jay & Little Jay summits, plus a 100-mile view over the valley to our SW for epic sunsets. The nearest restaurant & bar ‘Omekasa’ is within walking distance, just about 600 feet down the same road, and 'The Belfry' is a 2-min drive down that same road.

Classic farmhouse charm resonates through the new-construction home which is equipped with modern systems including a standby backup generator for the frequent power outages (in Winter). All furnishings, beddings, mattresses, appliances, flooring, paint, and amenities are brand new for Winter 2023/24.

There are two twin beds in this bonus room as well as a pack & play crib. There is an ensuite master bathroom with tub & shower, toilet, vanity & sink, and ample shelving. There are a total of 5 upstairs windows which look directly out to the Jay Peak summit, so you can 'download' your own conditions report before you even roll out of bed. The platform outside the bedroom door (at the top of the stairs) overlooks the living room.

Downstairs, the open floor plan allows seamless transition and socializing between the living room, kitchen, dining room, mudroom, and sun room.

A sliding glass door leads into the 3-season Pine & Cedar sun room for watching incredible sunset views from the swinging hammock chair. This room also serves as a great 'pet-proof' area, or as a secondary mudroom for gear if needed.

The modern kitchen features a gas stove & oven, a large wrap-around island/bar which seats 5 in barstools, ample counter top and pantry space, and a suite of high quality appliances, cookware, service ware, and flatware that will satisfy any chefs in your group. There is a large pass-through window into the dining room so the people in the kitchen are connected to those in the dining room.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the downstairs guest wing. At the end of this hallway you'll find a large bedroom w/ King bed and his/hers closets.
