36 Densmore RD Chelsea, VT 05038

Night Pasture Farm's hilltop 120.1 acres offers complete privacy with expansive views of a First Branch River Valley and surrounding hills. The craftsman style contemporary three-bedroom timber frame home, designed by AIA award-winning architect Jeremy Bonin, is sited in a high meadow, the ?"Night Pasture"?, where cows grazed for generations of farmers. Night Pasture Farm is an energy-efficient 5 star + level "Efficiency Vermont" rated home. The 2,986 square foot house has a unique architectural design that was a featured cover story in ?Timber Home Living ?magazine. Inspired by a stately maple on the property, the timber frame lines appear to grow as they would in the forest, angling the natural light to fill the home from the myriad of windows surrounding it. Adding to the modern elements is the dry-laid stone fireplace which turns 45 degrees as it nears the ceiling and exposes a sculptural steel connection to the timber frame. This feature is a true work of art. Other amenities include a chef-designed cherry wood and soapstone kitchen, large pantry, ample first-floor primary suite and bath, open air loft with leather flooring, paneled wine cellar, exercise room, cedar lined Finlandia sauna room, radiant heated oversized two-bay attached garage and high-speed internet for working or learning from home. Extensions of the indoor living areas are functional gathering places outdoors designed to complement the open feeling while embracing the beautiful locale.
