luxury houses with reception room for sale Bennington County, United States

Some properties announce everything at once. Others reward the buyer w/ discernment to see what is quietly waiting to be realized. Set along the rise of Morse Hill Road, this Dorset home is a rare opportunity: a substantial residence on 10 acres where value extends beyond what exists today into what the land could become. Beyond a beautiful Vermont home, there is potential to shape an estate-scale setting w/ expanded lawns, layered gardens, paths, terraces, recreation areas & a more park-like relationship between house & land. Inside, the home is substantial & highly spacious. Numerous bedrooms, generous living areas, fireplaces, high ceilings, & a large family room designed for life's gathering. The layout suits quiet weekends, holidays, movie nights, guests, remote work, & longer Vermont stays. A enormous "mudroom" provides the practical transition every four-season home needs, w/ room for boots, coats, ski gear, & outdoor equipment. The full basement adds exceptional storage and flexible recreation or hobby space. Outdoors, cottage perennial gardens, raspberry bushes, mature trees, hillside contours, and a private atmosphere create meaningful room to evolve. The property offers privacy, scale, and a strong sense of place, yet its greater opportunity lies in the ability to open, shape, and elevate the land into something intentional, polished, and luxurious. Recent practical improvements, including a standing seam roof by Iron Horse, updated mechanicals, water softener, pellet furnace, water heater, and exterior paint, add to a confident investment. Dorset Village, Manchester, hiking trails, Bromley, & Stratton are within easy reach, allowing the home to live as a full-time residence, weekend retreat or four-season Vermont base. For the buyer with vision- it is a rare opportunity to get way more than meets the eye.*Photo Disclosure: Some images are virtually staged or digitally modified to illustrate design possibilities; the home is currently unfurnished.
