About the host
Hosted by Anthony Clare
My family and I live in Montreal where I work in the aviation industry.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I have lived all over the world for study and work, but we always wanted to put down roots in New England, where she’s originally from. I grew up on a remote ranch in northwestern Colorado, so quiet, open spaces have always felt like home. We fell in love with Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom for its beauty, serenity, and rustic character. After years of searching, we finally found Colline des Bois — our second home for now, and the place where we plan to settle.
What makes this property unique
Colline des Bois offers true Vermont tranquility — five private acres on a quiet country road with no other homes in sight. The house is modern, impeccably maintained, and designed for comfort in every season, with radiant heat, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a Tesla-compatible Level 2 charger. Thoughtfully equipped and run by an owner with a background in the hospitality industry, Colline des Bois combines privacy, quality, and authenticity — a place that feels both secluded and genuinely cared for.
