The Forsyth property in Thetford Center, VT offers 183 acres of exceptional privacy. A principal element of this singular property is a beautifully maintained, stone-faced lodge house with first-rate post and beam features and high-end finishes, a patio, and a connected three-car garage. Additionally, there is a a second substantial, European-influenced house on a crest overlooking the pond that is a prime candidate for thoughtful renovation. The swimmable17-acre pond with its "floating gazebo" dock is teeming with bass and visited by loons and herons. A half-mile driveway, wending through park-like woods with majestic trees, leads one into the 183-acres that's surrounded by other large parcels. Well-known architect Don Metz designed the light-filled lodge house that features an alluring combination of private spaces and flowing open spaces. Despite its pronounced privacy, the property is conveniently located vis-a-vis I-91, Lake Fairlee, Thetford's multitude of conservation spaces, Hanover (14 minutes), and Lebanon. Historic Thetford is laced with fine homes, Vermont's oldest church and academy, well-established libraries, acclaimed vegetable stands, classic ice cream stands, a local theater venue, cross-country ski/hiking trails, and access to a treasured beach, and the public boat launch. A rare opportunity to acquire exceptional privacy, a great turnkey house, and a second unusual house with great promise, a stunning, sizable, private pond, and a convenient location.
