14 Aikins DriveJay, VT 05859Price: $665,000

Set on a 1.4-acre corner lot just minutes from Jay Peak Resort, this brand-new modern ranch offers a rare combination of efficiency, style, and location. The property captures a view of the top of Jay Peak and sits on a dead-end road in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. A covered entry leads into a functional mudroom-ideal for Vermont living-before opening to a bright kitchen, dining, and living area with cathedral ceilings. The living room features an electric fireplace and access to a covered back porch, creating a comfortable space to unwind after a day on the slopes. Radiant in-floor heat runs throughout the home, offering consistent warmth and a welcome touch after being outdoors. The layout is well thought out with a private primary suite and bath on one side, and two additional bedrooms with a full bath on the other. Buyers who act early will have the opportunity to personalize the kitchen with a $20,000 allowance for cabinetry and countertops, while a set of modern white appliances is already in place. The exterior blends modern and rustic elements with board-and-batten siding and a standing seam roof. High-speed fiber internet is available, making it easy to balance work and recreation. Whether you're looking for a primary home or a four-season getaway, this property also presents an exceptional Airbnb opportunity when you're not using it yourself. With strong year-round demand driven by skiing, golf, the indoor water park, ice arena, climbing center, and mountain biking, the location is hard to beat. Consider the alternative-spending $700K+ on a 3-bedroom mountain condo with shared walls, association fees, and usage restrictions-versus owning your own home and land for less, with far greater flexibility and independence.
