Vermont’s $819K ‘Ultimate Oasis’ Is Ready for a Retreat-Seeking Buyer

A minimalist, modern marvel in Wilmington, VT, just hit the market for $819,000.

Designed by renowned architect Myron Goldfinger, the stylish, four-bedroom beauty offers an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows and clean lines.

The property became known as The Robert Siegal House, in honor of Goldfinger’s personal accountant, for whom he built the home in 1979.

The place appeared in Martin Scorsese‘s 2013 film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” according to the listing.

“The original design of the home is what makes it so classic and special,” says listing agent Jacki Murano, of Southern Vermont Realty Group. “It’s not really a house that you want to update, because if you were to renovate it, it wouldn’t be the same house. The seller has been very careful to keep with the style and even went and found some period pieces to keep the design as authentic as possible.”

The 3,600-square-foot, five-level interior features many built-ins that range from custom beds to dressers.

“It has a really unique setup,” Murano says. “The main floor has a lounge with two-story ceilings and a fireplace.”

Three guest bedrooms and a bathroom are also on the first floor, while the entertaining space, kitchen, and two terraces are situated upstairs.

On the spa-inspired third floor, “there is a sauna, jetted soaking tub, shower room, massage area, and terrace that overlooks the private wooded backyard,” Murano notes.

The most impressive feature of the home just might be the fourth-floor primary suite. The bedroom looks more like a cozy retreat nestled into a treehouse, courtesy of its wood-paneled walls, “bubble” skylight above the bed, and sliders that lead to a private terrace.

Notably, every set of stairs in the house is a spiral staircase.

“It’s just incredible,” Murano says.

A certain segment of prospective buyers are from California and are familiar with Goldfinger’s work, she explains.

“It’s located close to ski resorts and minutes away from multiple lakes,” she notes. “You don’t see the home, because it is hidden in the trees. You would never know it’s there.”

Set on 10.2 acres of spruce trees and Japanese gardens, the property has an oversized, two-car garage and a tennis court.

The lot also includes a carriage house with its own kitchen and space on the second floor for a home office or yoga studio.

Numerous offers have already been made on the house, from hopeful buyers looking to use it both as a primary or secondary residence.

“It’s only about two hours from Boston,” Murano says. “The current owner is from Boston and moved to escape the craziness of the city. It’s truly the ultimate oasis.”
