SANCTUARY is a nature lover's icon. This spectacular property features gorgeous views, total privacy, a mixed forest, reclaimed pasture, bucolic vegetable and floral gardens, stone walls, and - quite special to the property - 5,748' of frontage on the Williams River and 1,566' along Lovejoy Brook. The combined natural elements and human-animal interaction have seeded a healing sensation that is pervasive across the landscape. "Tread lightly" has been the motto, resulting in the creation of a small human-footprint that embodies fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and eco-friendly materials. Sanctuary boasts a 2-story Shingle residence, a post-and-beam studio, and a single-level workshop/garage with potting shed. The Shingle residence offers an open floor plan, with the first floor ...(show more) featuring a large living/family room and office space, laundry facilities, a half bath, and a "pet" room complete with cabinet and shelves for storage of all pet-related food/treats/grooming items, etc., a sink for tidying up and an enclosed outdoor recreation area for smaller companions. The second floor features a chef's kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, cherry counter-tops and plenty of storage, a breakfast nook/reading corner with woodstove, and a bedroom suite complete with a full bath. The studio also features an open floor plan, and was designed and built to accommodate professional recording production. The sound proof structure features post-and-beam construction, cathedral ceilings, cork and tile flooring, and a half bath. The existing complex is completed by a workshop/garage that houses a sweet little potting shed. For the conservation-minded, permanent protection of Sanctuary is possible with potential financial benefits. Tucked in the hills of southern Vermont, Sanctuary offers an unmatched quality of life; peace and solitude are intact, yet fine dining, shopping, theatre and 4-season resorts are nearby and easily accessible. Please note that 68.1+/- acres are located in Andover, and 145.4+/- acres are in Ludlow. The existing residence is permitted for 3 bedroom, but currently features a single master suite. Included in the offering is a separately permitted, 8.99+/- acre, 5 bedroom residential building site.
