Property Description

Living in complete privacy with more than 3,000 feet of river frontage on 92 acres, yet so close to Burlington, Vermont, is a rare find. It’s the kind of place where life naturally slows down, and you can truly enjoy the beauty of Vermont. Start the day watching the sunrise over the Green Mountains and sunsets over the Adirondacks, and walk the peaceful woodlands filled with maple, oak, and pine trees. Walk along the riverbank, listen to the rushing water, and try your hand at fly-fishing. Some of the best moments here may be the simplest, doing nothing at all except listening to the breeze through the trees and the sound of the river below. Summer and fall bring another kind of enjoyment. Harvest peaches, sand cherries, apples and pears, or pick seasonal produce from the raised-bed gardens. There’s even the timeless pleasure of baking bread in the wood cookstove. The expansive meadows offer plenty of room for agricultural pursuits, horses, or whatever outdoor ideas you have in mind. High on the hill, the Cape-style home takes in beautiful Green Mountain views and western sunsets. The new sunroom is a favorite gathering spot, with walls of windows bringing the outdoors in, while the rooftop deck offers an even higher perspective. The home has also been thoughtfully updated with a new roof, furnace, hot water heater, and more. The primary bedroom suite has its own bath and direct access to the rooftop deck. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located upstairs. There’s also a comfortable guest space over the garage with a living area and bathroom, plus a first-floor den/bedroom with full bath perfect for guests or a quiet home office. Set next to Charlotte, VT, along the Addison County line and close to everything the Champlain Valley has to offer, including Lake Champlain, great restaurants, Middlebury, VT, and 3 min to Mt Philo. A peaceful, private piece of Vermont where the river, land, and seasons become part of everyday life.
