Our place is located in Warren, Vermont, about 3 hours north of Boston, in the Mad RIver Valley area.  We bought the 10 acre parcel for the south facing views and potential for solar energy, as well as for the “Sugar Bush” surrounding it which enables us to make our own maple syrup in late winter.  The land is surrounded by the Green Mountain National Forest with miles of hiking trails right out the door. With no other houses or lights, it is great for star gazing at night.  It is about 2 miles from the small town of Warren and only several miles from Waitsfield and Sugarbush and Mad River Glen ski areas.  It is very private, off a dirt road, but nearby many wonderful recreational and country activities.  We are part of a small community on Fuller Hill, which shares a larger swimming pond, barn and common land for hiking, like to Blueberry Lake, nearby.
