Area Description: We moved to Stowe from Boston full-time in 1998 because we fell in love with all that Stowe has to offer - the swimming, hiking, biking, skiing (xc, alpine and backcountry), snowboarding, riding, golfing and tennis as well as the active arts and music community. We were attracted to the more back-to-basics, healthy, environmental lifestyle and were pleasantly surprised by the true sense of community in Stowe. It is a real town with a tradition of hospitality, strong community spirit and a wealth of educational, cultural and social opportunities - with all of the attractions and benefits of a tourist town. It is the best of both worlds. Year round there is so much to do from all of the traditional winter sports to maple sugaring, the farmer's markets, Music in the Trapp Meadow, hiking and festival season (Stowe hosts various art, music, antique car, wine and hot air balloon festivals every summer), 3 of the world's be ...

We were attracted to the more back-to-basics, healthy, environmental lifestyle and were pleasantly surprised by the true sense of community in Stowe. It is a real town with a tradition of hospitality, strong community spirit and a wealth of educational, cultural and social opportunities - with all of the attractions and benefits of a tourist town. It is the best of both worlds. Year round there is so much to do from all of the traditional winter sports to maple sugaring, the farmer's markets, Music in the Trapp Meadow, hiking and festival season (Stowe hosts various art, music, antique car, wine and hot air balloon festivals every summer), 3 of the world's best spas, natural attractions like Mount Mansfield, Bingham Falls, the Green River Reservoir, and the Lamoille River, and of course, several premier golf courses. Unique Benefits of 100 Acre Wood: We spend much of the summer swimming in our pond, overlooking the mountains, playing on the pond's beach or walking the property and enjoying our several perennial gardens. On the property there is also a small, screened-in pond house and dock, which is a great place to rest and have a glass of wine while watching the fish jump. You can also row out to Emma's island in the middle of the pond. There is a tennis court and private sitting area by blueberry bushes for fresh picking during the summer months. Our property is close to the village center (2 miles) yet feels like you are in a private countryside. We are a short drive to the mountain and enjoy skiing or snowboarding early each morning during the winter.
