753 Turkey Lane Monkton, VT 05461

Imagine yourself as the Ruler of your own wonderful Vermont hilltop Kingdom. Your home is a contemporary open design with the central core a two story soaring " Great Room" and a south facing wall of windows. When the space is not warmed by passive solar gain, you stoke the VT Castings wood stove insert in your custom brick hearth and pull your chair up for a good read. During the warm season, you walk out the door into your attached 3 season room, using the replaceable screens during the summer. You are an active, hands on sort of Ruler, so in the spring you start your new seedlings in the garden house located right next to the large garden plot, and visit the fenced chicken coup daily for your day's ration of fresh VT eggs. After breakfast, it is time for your daily Royal walk so you call the dog, grab your walking stick and head down the drive past your sugar house, that now sits idle after a super sugaring season, and your 4 bay equipment barn to the pond to check to see if the ice is all clear and full of Spring peepers. On the way back, you check on your current limousine restoration project in your Royal Barn workshop and do some regal tinkering through the afternoon. As the sun settles toward the horizon, you have the court jester fire up the wood stove in the sauna and relax away the day's work in the quiet privacy of your hilltop Kingdom. Later you contemplate tomorrow's world events while sipping wine under the Royal Pergola on the hand laid stone patio.
