Luxury Mountain Retreat In Historic Plymouth Offered At $4.9 Million

Aug. 19, 2008 - PRLog -- Plymouth, Vermont — Christie’s Great Estates and LandVest announce that they are presenting for sale Eureka House, a majestic mountainside estate in Plymouth, Vermont. LandVest, an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates, is offering the property for $4.9 million. Christie’s Great Estates will provide premier international marketing services.

Nestled into the mountainside beside a gentle stream rests this six-bedroom family retreat of elegant wood and stone. Surrounded by more than two-acres of Vermont’s lush Green Mountains, the majestic Eureka House offers residents the ultimate in peace, pleasure, and privacy. The immaculately groomed grounds present a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life with a man-made pond, a private waterfall, a splash pool and sandy beach, and beautiful gardens.

The residence at Eureka House offers the character and charm of yesteryear, with the conveniences and amenities of modern luxury living. The 9,400-square-foot residence is appointed with exceptional entertaining facilities—the spectacular living room features a soaring stone and granite fireplace, an entertainment center with a 50-inch plasma television, and a dramatic cathedral ceiling. Elegance abounds in the spacious dining room with its vaulted ceilings and views of the fountain, pond, and mountains.

Lighting in the home is controlled by the “Lite Touch” system, which offers pre-programmed
lighting and climate control at the touch of a finger. In-floor radiant heat and high velocity A/C
ducting throughout the house ensure year-round temperature-controlled comfort. This unspoiled wilderness retreat also enjoys a stylish library, spacious study, and sound-proofed home theater with a state-of-the-art AMX projector. A well-appointed carriage house is adorned with a half bath, a multi-level game room, and radiant heat throughout.

“This elegant mountain retreat has been designed to instill a warm and welcoming sense of style, luxury and comfort,” says Kathleen Coumou, Christie’s Great Estates Vice President for the Northeast Region. “Eureka House offers the best of sophisticated country living.”

“Eureka House was inspired by the owners’ desire to have a place in the mountains for their family and friends to relax, kick back, and enjoy life to the fullest,” says architect Daniel J. Pratt A.L.A., who designed the property.

Eureka House is located in the Hawk Mountain Resort Community of Plymouth, Vermont, known for its dedication to luxury and privacy. Amenities include tennis, horseback riding, a marina at Lake Amherst, and an extensive trail system for hiking and cross-country skiing. A 50-room guest inn with full spa services, the River Tavern restaurant, and a team of professional property managers ensure the ultimate in luxurious comfort.

“Plymouth’s Hawk Mountain offers world-class ski and water-based recreational opportunities,” said Wade Weathers, Managing Broker with LandVest. “These advantages, combined with the area’s cosmopolitan cultural base and easy transportation afforded by nearby Woodstock, Vermont, Hanover, New Hampshire, and Lebanon, New Hampshire, make Eureka House a perfect a retreat for sophisticated world travelers.”

First settled in 1776, the historic town of Plymouth retains much of its Colonial charm and is the birthplace of former US President Calvin Coolidge. Plymouth offers major ski, shopping, and recreational areas, and is less than a 3-hour drive from downtown Boston.
