Chalet Colline des Bois

Colline des Bois, French for “wooded hill,” a name that reflects a peaceful, forested, private five-acre retreat at 1,800 feet in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, half a mile from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. It offers complete privacy, views, and the kind of stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else. The home is in outstanding condition and maintained to a high standard.

Inside, vaulted ceilings and large windows fill the living area with natural light. The spacious living room features a comfortable large sectional, wall-mounted Smart TV, and a nine-blade ceiling fan. Hardwood and slate floors complement the natural setting, and double doors open directly onto the expansive deck. Reliable high-speed Wi-Fi makes the home ideal for both families and remote workers.

KITCHEN
The modern kitchen is fully equipped for everything from a quick breakfast to a full Thanksgiving or Christmas feast. It includes Cuisinart appliances, matched cookware, sharp knives, and generous storage. You’ll also find a 2-in-1 coffee maker (drip and K-Cup, with iced option), French press, grinder, toaster, food processor, and electric kettle—all set on beautiful hardwood countertops surrounding a large central island.

BEDROOMS & BATH
High-quality mattresses and fresh linens throughout.
• The upstairs suite offers a king bed, private bath, handmade Amish hardwood dresser and nightstands, antique chest, and balcony with forest and meadow views.
• Downstairs bedrooms include remote-controlled ceiling fans with adjustable light temperature.

WORKSPACE
A quiet, comfortable desk area in the radiant-heated, finished basement provides a perfect setup for remote work or study.

WATER & UTILITIES
Water comes from our artesian well—clean, safe, and delicious. It was tested in July 2025, and lab results are available upon request. An automatic-start backup generator ensures uninterrupted comfort during any power outage.

DECK & PORCH
Step outside onto the enormous deck, which includes open and screened sections plus a covered porch furnished with Adirondack chairs and a hammock. Enjoy morning coffee in the sun, relax in the hammock, or gather at the firepit under clear night skies for unforgettable stargazing.

OUTDOORS
The property borders Danville’s protected watershed—no visible neighbors, total privacy, pure air, and deep quiet. Kids will love the large swing set, and adults will appreciate the calm and clean mountain air. Everyone will be enthralled by the brilliant nights filled with stars.

GUEST ACCESS
You’ll have private access to the entire home and the surrounding five acres. Check-in is simple and secure with a digital keypad.

The fully equipped heated woodworking shop filled with natural light, which could also serve as an artist's studio, is located about 250 feet (75 meters) from the house, is reserved for owner use but can be made available upon request.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Colline des Bois is a perfect base for exploring Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.

You’re just:
• Steps from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail for walking, biking, or snowmobiling in winter.
• Minutes from Joe’s Pond, the Great Vermont Corn Maze, Red Barn Brewery, and the Dog Mountain Shrine.
• 60 minutes or less drive to Lake Willoughby, Montpelier, the original Ben & Jerry’s factory, and three ski resorts: Burke Mountain, Jay Peak, and Stowe.

EV CHARGER & PARKING
Free on-site parking with a Tesla Universal Level-2 charger (compatible with Tesla NACS and J1772 vehicles).

SECURITY
For your peace of mind, exterior security cameras monitor the front and side entries, backyard, and workshop entrances. No interior cameras.

HOUSEKEEPING
Mid-stay cleaning services can be arranged for an additional fee—please inquire if interested. For those who stay 10 nights or longer weekly cleaning services come free of charge for each complete week booked.

AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning is provided from mid-June until September using a modular AC unit. The home is not equipped with central air conditioning. At 1,800 feet (550 meters) altitude, evenings are typically cool, and the house benefits from fans and natural cross-ventilation during most of the year.
