Set in a secluded glade at the base of Mt Cushman, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath chalet offers a rare opportunity to own a true Vermont retreat. Overlooking Edwin's Pond and the Green Mountain National Forest, the property delivers a sense of privacy and immersion in nature that is increasingly hard to find. Moss-covered boulders, filtered woodland light, and elevated mountain views create a setting that feels both timeless and deeply restorative. From the doorstep, access miles of protected forest for hiking, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and mountain biking. The Ridgeline Outdoor Collective trail network continues to grow nearby, while some of Vermont's premier ski areas Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Middlebury Snow Bowl and Killington are all within easy reach. Despite this proximity to world-class recreation, Rochester remains quietly removed, offering a more authentic and uncrowded Vermont experience. Often referred to as the "heart of the Green Mountains," Rochester blends natural beauty with a vibrant, close-knit community. Enjoy local markets, events, and a strong culture of outdoor living, all without the pace and pressure of larger resort towns. The home is thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of its surroundings, offering a warm, comfortable interior that complements the landscape. Whether as a weekend escape or a full-time residence, this is a property that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience Vermont at its best.
