Description

Grafton Lodge is a striking five-bedroom, four-bathroom timber frame retreat set on 72 acres of complete privacy, directly bordering the 146-acre Putnam State Forest. Built in 2022, this 4,000+ sq ft home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comforts, featuring wide hemlock floors, exposed beams, and walls of windows that invite the natural surroundings inside. At the heart of the home is a dramatic two-story great room, offering panoramic forest views and anchored by a wood stove for cozy winter nights. Heat pumps ensure year-round climate control, while thoughtful design provides comfort across three spacious levels, including a game room, exercise area, and home office. A spiral staircase leads to a bonus loft space on the fourth floor--ideal as a studio, library, or creative escape. Step outside to your own private sanctuary: a stone patio outfitted with a sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and grill--perfect for relaxing or entertaining under the stars. The property includes a state-approved wastewater permit for a future 4-bedroom cabin, offering excellent potential for expansion or guest accommodations. Conveniently located just 3 miles from Grafton Village and within easy reach of Okemo, Magic Mountain, and Bromley for skiing, plus direct access to VAST snowmobile trails. Stay connected with fiber optic internet, and rest easy with a backup generator. The property is being offered fully furnished and enrolled in Vermont's Current Use program for tax benefits.
