Au revoir, Red Door House. ’Twas lovely to meet you. 😍

Here’s to small, simple homes renovated with the type of care and character that went into the Red Door House. A little bit of whimsy, a nod to Old World style, sensible materials, and not throwing out elements that have stood the test of time (solid cabinetry) have resulted in a sweet abode that defines the word “home”.

Best wishes to the family who will be enjoying apres ski around the wood-burning fireplace this winter!

Introducing The Aerie✨ 4 beds - 3 and a half baths - nearly 40 acres - 3,000+ sq ft - your own private mountain paradise set high above it all. Offered at $975,000.

Set high in the Cambridge hills near Smugglers Notch on nearly 40 acres, this timber frame home commands expansive views north and west at the end of a quiet country road. Historic stone walls trace the property, and a brook winds gently through the forest, where wildlife shares the trails.

The very definition of good bones, soaring timber-framed ceilings, warm redwood floors, and a towering stone chimney create spaces that feel at once expansive and intimate. The chef’s kitchen and open dining space—anchored by a Wolf range, generous pantry, and thoughtful layout—is designed for long dinners, slow weekends, and gathering the people you love.

Four bedrooms, four baths, and an airy loft offer space to spread out, whether you’re hosting family, working remotely, or curling up in a quiet corner to read.

Feeling a world apart, and yet just minutes from Smugglers’ Notch, with Stowe close enough for dinner, and Burlington less than an hour away, this is a home that makes every season worth looking forward to—from wildflower meadows and summer hikes to brilliant foliage and backcountry ski days.
A timeless Vermont retreat, built for slowing down and staying awhile.

Introducing the Lake Elmore Farmhouse ✨ 3 beds - 2 and a half baths - 2 acres - 1,891 sq ft - short walk to the beach. Offered at $495,000.

There are old Vermont farmhouses... and then there are the ones that make you want to stay awhile.

The kind with warm wood floors, windows that catch the morning light, and Zen vibe that encourages slow mornings, home-cooked dinners, and hiking boots and sandy towels in the mudroom.

Bordering more than 700 acres of protected forest, this lovingly renovated 19th-century farmhouse blends timeless character with the comforts of modern living. The heart of the home is warm and welcoming - a bright kitchen, sunny breakfast nook, generous gathering spaces, and a granite fireplace to warm crisp Vermont evenings.

Upstairs, a primary suite with a Juliet balcony overlooking seasonal glimpses of the lake offers a quiet retreat after a day spent hiking to the fire tower, skiing the Catamount Trail, paddling the lake, or wandering the woods just beyond the backyard.

The General Store is a short stroll away. The lake beach is just down the road. And while Stowe, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, Smugglers’ Notch, and the Northeast Kingdom are all close enough for day trips, this is the kind of place that gently reminds you, there’s nowhere else you need to be.

How’s the market, you ask?

The Stowe area real estate market picked up some momentum this spring, with more homes changing hands across Stowe, Lamoille County, and Waterbury compared to this time last year.

That said, buyers are still taking their time. Homes that are priced well, beautifully presented, and move-in ready continue to sell, while those that miss the mark are often sitting on the market a little longer.

For sellers, this is a great reminder that thoughtful pricing and preparation can make all the difference. And for buyers, a little more inventory and a bit more time to make decisions means there are some great opportunities to be found.

Every market has its own rhythm, and right now it’s rewarding both smart sellers and patient buyers. If you’re thinking about making a move, I’d be happy to help you navigate what today’s market means for your goals. Call 802-249-4649 or email [email protected] to start the conversation today.

The Stowe and Lamoille County market reports for Quarter 1 of 2026 are in.

Q1 2026 Market Snapshot 📊
The Stowe-area market is finding its rhythm—more balanced, but still competitive where it counts.
🏡 Inventory is rising, giving buyers more options
📈 Prices remain strong, especially at the high end
⏱️ Days on market are stabilizing
✨ Well-priced homes are still moving

Zooming out to Lamoille County as a whole:
• Median prices are hovering in the ~$600K–$700K range, reflecting long-term growth
• Inventory is up significantly year-over-year, creating more opportunity for buyers
• Homes are taking longer to sell compared to peak frenzy years
• Buyer activity remains steady—but more selective
• The market is increasingly “two-speed,” with Stowe outperforming surrounding towns
Bottom line: the intensity has cooled, but values remain strong—and strategy matters more than ever.
Thinking about buying or selling this year? Let’s talk.
