Large acreage and vast views. The cabin on Steadman Hill is a newly finished off-grid home on 477 acres. With breathtaking south-facing views of the Green Mountains, this retreat offers an inspiring setting to write the great American novel, create art, or simply enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

The mature woodlands are filled with towering oak, maple, hickory and beech trees. The land is crisscrossed by historic stone walls, offering a glimpse into another time when sheep once grazed on the hillside. Trails abound (see map). A path to a clearing at the summit of Steadman Hill at 2,300’ elevation--the highest point in Chester--reveals dramatic views in all four directions. Five brooks originate on the property, four feeding into Potash Brook, while the fifth flows into Chase Brook.

Set atop a large meadow, the 1,918 sq. ft. post and beam cabin is designed with high-end finishes and modern amenities. Powered by an 8-panel solar array with battery storage, it is supported by a whole-house generator. Inside, the kitchen has custom cabinets, a Sub-Zero under-counter fridge, and a Wolf cooktop. The two bathrooms have Waterworks faucets and towel racks. A woodstove is vented through the stone fireplace.

The second floor includes three Murphy beds for a flexible use of space and cedar lined built-in storage chests under the windows. The lower level features a wood stove, built-in cabinets and shelves, washer/dryer hookups and walk-out glass doors to a stone terrace under the wrap around deck and screened porch.

The property abuts conserved land and is surrounded by large parcels of land. House has a 4-bedroom septic system. Additionally, there is potential for internet access through Starlink. 28 minutes from Okemo and 2 hours from Hartford and 2 1/2 hours from Boston.

Delayed showing beginning October 4, 2024.
