|Title: Exceptional Upper Pines Lodge with Mountain Views and Unmatched Craftsmanship
Upper Pines Lodge is a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece, showcasing a rare combination of design, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Situated on a private 7.6-acre lot surrounded by majestic pines, this stunning property offers breathtaking mountain views, meticulously manicured grounds, and a peaceful, serene setting—just minutes from Sugarbush Resort and all the wonderful amenities the Mad River Valley has to offer.
Originally built in 1968, the home underwent a remarkable transformation in 2000/2001 when local architect David Sellers was commissioned to reimagine the space. The footprint of the home was expanded to 3,600 square feet, and a complete rebuild was undertaken to create the stunning Upper Pines Lodge we see today. Every detail of this home has been meticulously designed to bring together functionality and beauty in perfect harmony.
Among the many unique features of this extraordinary home is a dramatic 3-story atrium that immediately captures the eye, flooding the space with natural light and offering a sense of openness and grandeur. The main hall is highlighted by impressive maple tree trunks, adding a rustic yet elegant touch. Custom cabinetry throughout the home features stunning cherry and birch bark inserts, further enhancing the natural aesthetic of the space.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with a huge Wolf range, top-of-the-line appliances, and exquisite Vermont marble countertops, vanity tops, and sink areas. Hand-blown glass sinks and stunning artisan-crafted lighting fixtures and furniture add an extra layer of luxury and uniqueness to this incredible home. Throughout the Lodge, you will find beautiful stonework that contributes to the home’s warmth and charm, creating a sense of timeless elegance.
The luxurious primary suite offers a serene escape with its own private space to relax and unwind. It is complemented by a spa-like en suite bath featuring marble counters, exquisite stonework, and custom cabinetry. The property’s spa-like features don’t stop there—relax and rejuvenate in the 4+ person steam room, the perfect spot after a day of outdoor adventure or just for a little indulgence.
The expansive deck offers ample space for entertaining or enjoying a peaceful moment in nature. Complete with a firepit, it is an ideal place to take in the mountain views and breathe in the fresh Vermont air. The property has been continuously upgraded to ensure it remains in pristine condition, with ongoing improvements including the addition of a 3-car carriage barn and sports equipment shed in 2019, a complete renovation of the great room with three walls of windows and French doors in 2021, and a complete redo of the wrap-around deck system in 2023/24. In 2024, a new cedar shake roof was installed, adding both beauty and durability to this already exceptional home.
Offered as a fully furnished turn-key opportunity, Upper Pines Lodge is filled with a curated mix of antiques, custom-made furniture, rugs, artwork, and more—creating a warm, inviting atmosphere where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. With few exclusions, this extraordinary home offers the perfect space for your family to unwind, entertain, and make lasting memories.
