New construction is a rare find in Vermont, where some of the nation's oldest housing stock offers timeless character but often comes with ongoing maintenance and costly updates. This thoughtfully designed four-bedroom chalet in Rochester's Great Hawk community delivers the best of both worlds — contemporary mountain style, exceptional energy efficiency, and the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new home.
Set atop a sunny knoll at the end of a gently winding driveway, the property offers privacy and seclusion. A striking slab of locally harvested Vermont Verde granite welcomes you to the covered entrance, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. Inside, a spacious foyer doubles as a convenient first-floor laundry, complete with high-efficiency washer and dryer.
The open living area is filled with natural light beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, where exposed beams incorporate subtle ambient lighting below and accent lighting above. Designed for comfort in every season, the home features radiant floor heat throughout, an efficient on-demand hot water system, heat pump mini-splits, and a carefully engineered combination of spray-foam and Rockwool insulation for exceptional comfort and efficiency.
The beautifully appointed kitchen offers natural wood cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a dual-fuel five-burner gas range with double ovens. Just beyond, a full-length deck extends the living space outdoors, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful woodland surroundings. Throughout the home, bold black-framed windows create a striking architectural contrast against a warm, neutral palette.
Occupying the entire upper level, the private primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and a generous ensuite bath, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The fully finished walkout lower level features two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable family room with an attractive kitchenette, providing outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living as well as rental opportunities.
As a member of the Great Hawk community, you'll enjoy access to a crystal-clear private swimming pond, tennis courts, scenic walking trails, and breathtaking mountain vistas. Ideally located in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, the property is just minutes from renowned ski areas, endless outdoor recreation, and the historic village of Rochester. Within an easy drive of Boston, Montreal, and New York City, this exceptional home offers the rare opportunity to own a brand new mountain retreat equally suited as a vacation escape, investment property, or full-time residence.
