⛰️ Located between Middlebury and Vergennes, Vermont in New Haven, Tourterelle is located on 5+ acres with Adirondack mountain views to the west and Green Mountain views to the east. The building dates to 1796, but you would never know it with the sleek and modern interior. The property was fully renovated in 2021 - it’s truly turn-key.

Upstairs, find six renovated bedrooms, four-full bathrooms, a breakfast nook and sitting room with a woodstove and the best mountain views.

🌻 Outside, there is a large event barn hat seats over 200 people with an outdoor kitchen as well. A pond, cornfield, and sunflowers create the most perfect backdrop - complete with the mountain views - for Vermont weddings.

Our first closing of the year happened last week for a dear friend who happens to be a Realtor out of state - my first time helping another Realtor buy!

Dan sent me a text one day with a listing and said, "Can I buy?" to which I replied, "Let's do it!". I met his parents the next day for a showing, and we strategically crafted an offer (not above asking price, mind you!) to get him the home in multiple offers.

From there, the Okemo Cabin was born and will soon be available for Ludlow/Cavendish stays on the Black River! Whether it's an investment property, a first home, or your last, I'm here to help in any stage, anywhere in Vermont!

When I listed 418 Akley, I knew the sellers and I would become fast friends... Feed me a homemade, better-than-Parisian croissant and great coffee and we will be a surefire match, after all!

I love my clients who find me on Instagram... It's as if we're already a match between our love for travel, adventure, and our great state of Vermont.

I was honored to get my sellers absolute top dollar for their home - $61,000 over asking price in multiple offers - with ideal terms for their next chapter.

Every day, it's an honor to help transform lives through homeownership. Onward to these sellers' next closing Friday on a gorgeous parcel of land!
