A Serene Dorset Hollow Retreat Along the Mettowee River

Tucked into the coveted and storied Dorset Hollow, this home is set along 488 feet of the Mettowee River on a 4.6-acre quintessentially Vermont setting. The Dorset Hollow property offers a rare opportunity to own a perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and timeless Vermont charm. Expansive views of the sweeping mountains and the soothing sounds of the river can be enjoyed from multiple outdoor living areas, including the covered front porch, kitchen-side dining veranda, and a welcoming bluestone terrace that seamlessly connects the main level’s open-concept living spaces. Fall asleep every night listening to the river — not just outdoors, but as a calming presence throughout the home. The house is thoughtfully positioned to capture the best of southern light and long views, blending modern sophistication with rustic elegance.

Step inside to a pristine, beautifully maintained residence anchored by a dramatic two-story foyer and soaring stone fireplace. Expansive glass sliders flood the home with natural light while inviting the outdoors in. The architectural design thoughtfully balances an open layout with defined living spaces, including a dining room, comfortable living room, and a chef’s granite eat-in kitchen that combines style and function. The main-level primary suite offers ease and privacy, featuring a walk-in closet and a spacious bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower. Nearby, a study provides the perfect space for a home office or private retreat. Upstairs, you'll find three additional ensuite bedrooms, ideal for guests or family.

The acreage encourages outdoor recreation in the spacious yard, with effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces, allowing enjoyment of the flaming maples of autumn, the soft gentle snowfalls that blanket the fields, and fishing from your private stream frontage. Meticulously landscaped gardens and lush, manicured grounds offer a most desirable and beautiful setting. Thoughtful additions include a relaxing hot tub and a finished bonus room above the garage, perfect as a creative studio, fitness space, home office, game room, or media lounge. Unfinished basement offers the next owners ease to expand in the current footprint. 

Framed by gentle mountain views and nestled in the coveted Dorset Hollow just minutes from Dorset Village, yet offering a world-away feel, this exceptional residence provides peace, privacy, and proximity to all that Dorset has to offer. A truly special opportunity to own a home in Dorset Hollow, along the Mettowee — a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor all that life is in Southern Vermont
