Apache is functioning normally

The Green Mountain State’s most expensive listing just hit the market for $20 million.

The 15,774-square-foot megamansion sits on a 110-acre lot in the rolling fields of Stowe, VT.

“To have that kind of acreage in a most desirable neck of the woods as Stowe is certainly one of the things that makes this property stand out,” says listing agent Geoffrey Wolcott, of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty.

Plus, that immense acreage provides significant opportunities for an ambitious buyer.

“The 110-acre parcel size qualifies it to permit for a PUD (Planned Unit Development) commercial development,” Wolcott says.

Standout estate

The stone, slate, and copper, European-style country retreat was built in 2004 and features six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

“The quality of the home is second to none,” Wolcott notes. “There are wall coverings that are made of sculpted suede, and Italian crafted interiors found throughout. Most of the woodworking was done by a crew from Italy.”

A cozy solarium with a fireplace is surrounded by a wall of windows, offering a breathtaking mountain views.

The stylish, gloss-black and stainless Boffi kitchen features a concealed, walk-in pantry. The listing says the cabinetry shows more like “a work of art.” There are four distinct prep stations here and plenty of dining space in the breakfast room.

A remarkably designed living room has a soaring ceiling and another fireplace.

“It’s a very dramatic room with ceilings that are about 2.5 stories high,” Wolcott says.

The library features built-in bookcases and handsome, wood-paneled walls.

Posh pool

One of the most impressive amenities just might be the mosaic-tiled, indoor pool and spa. It’s surrounded by loads of limestone, along with a coffered ceiling overhead and walls of windows that overlook the property.

There’s also an adjoining gym.

And when it comes to entertaining, the home is fully quipped. There’s a circular wine cellar with a tasting area, a dumbwaiter that serves three levels, commercial laundry, and a “self-contained guest suite.”

An enormous primary suite boasts a soaring ceiling and a sitting area in front of arched windows that offer pristine outdoor views. The spalike primary bath has built-ins and many windows to soak in the scenery.

The property also comes with a four-car, heated garage and extensive woodland trails.

So who will move in next?

“It’s very difficult to speculate who will be the next buyer, as buyers come from all over the world—and often where you least expect it,” Wolcott says. “It will certainly be someone who is looking for a second home, with that kind of acreage, and the ability to turn it into a family compound.”
