A Masterfully Designed Vermont Estate by Ramsay Gourd and Breen Builders Hits the Market for $10.3 Million
Amid the pastoral charm of Manchester Village lies one of the most distinguished homes currently on the Vermont real estate market. Listed for $10,300,000, 551 West Fields Road is a newly built modern-contemporary estate that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with 21st-century innovation. Designed by Ramsay Gourd Architecture and constructed in 2020 by Breen Builders, the residence stands as a commanding example of what precision craftsmanship and thoughtful design can achieve in harmony with nature.
A Modern Masterpiece in a Historic Village
Situated on 10.5 acres of rolling land with panoramic Green Mountain views, the 10,993-square-foot estate presents a rare opportunity to own a peaceful retreat minutes from the vibrancy of Manchester’s cultural and recreational offerings. The home’s six-bedroom, nine-bathroom layout is accentuated by soaring ceilings, expansive glass, and a warm material palette of wood, stone, and natural finishes.
“This property represents the very pinnacle of new luxury construction in southern Vermont,” says Sunny Breen, the listing agent with Josiah Allen Real Estate, in a conversation with Luxury Houses Magazine. “It’s a home that’s both striking and comfortable—an ideal balance of high design and livable elegance.”
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen fitted with premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry that flows seamlessly into the open living and dining spaces. Three fireplaces create warmth and atmosphere throughout the home, while large picture windows frame postcard-worthy mountain vistas at every turn.

Thoughtful Living with Unmatched Craftsmanship
Built with energy efficiency and year-round comfort in mind, the residence includes radiant heat, central air, and a standby generator. There are also accessibility features such as a first-floor primary suite, no-step entry to key rooms, and wide passageways that reflect thoughtful planning and inclusivity.
“The attention to detail goes well beyond what’s typical in new builds,” Breen explains. “From the engineered basement with daylight access to the fully integrated smart systems and the climate-controlled interior, everything has been designed for longevity and low-maintenance living.”
The finished lower level offers additional space for entertaining, including a full bar and lounge area. Outdoor spaces include a stone patio perfect for dining al fresco and private trails that weave through the wooded acreage—ideal for peaceful walks or snowshoeing in winter.

A Legacy Estate in Manchester’s Finest Enclave
Beyond the gates of 551 West Fields Road, residents enjoy quick access to everything that defines the Manchester lifestyle: Bromley and Stratton ski resorts, the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Equinox Golf Resort & Spa, and an array of fine dining, boutiques, and galleries. For those seeking serenity, the estate offers the peace of the countryside with the conveniences of town just minutes away.
“You feel completely immersed in nature, but you’re only five minutes from farm-to-table dining and luxury shopping,” Breen says. “That duality is what makes Manchester real estate so special, and this property captures it beautifully.”
An adjacent 10-acre parcel is also available for purchase, allowing the future owner to expand their domain or preserve the estate’s pristine privacy.
