About this property
1847 Farmhouse Retreat: Hot Tub, AC, EV Charger + Mountain Views
Wake up to Worcester Range views from a beautifully renovated 1847 Vermont farmhouse on 2 scenic acres in the heart of Waterbury. Ben and Jerry's is 4 minutes away. Less than a mile away, Waterbury Reservoir is perfect for kayaking, boating, swimming, and fishing. Stowe Village is 16 minutes, Bolton Valley mountain biking is 20 minutes, and Sugarbush is 34 minutes. This is your Vermont summer basecamp.
The Home ************ A true craftsman's renovation, the farmhouse features exposed beams, refinished hardwood floors, and 3,142 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space for up to 8 guests.
Spacious living room with Worcester Range mountain views and abundant natural light. Cozy den with comfortable seating and views of the surrounding hills. Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a farmhouse style dining table that seats the whole group. Four comfortable bedrooms with premium linens, plus a ground floor office room with a double bed. 1.5 bathrooms including a recently upgraded stand-up shower with modern fixtures.
Staying Cool *************** The main living level including the kitchen, living room, den, and ground floor office room are fully air conditioned via the home's central ducted system. Portable AC units keep the upper floor comfortable on warm summer nights.
Outdoor Living ***************** Start your mornings on the covered wraparound porch with coffee and a view of the Green Mountains stretching out across the valley. The porch is furnished with comfortable wicker seating and runs the length of the house, with two distinct sitting areas. When the day winds down, soak in the private outdoor hot tub under Vermont stars. The surrounding 2 acres give you room to roam, relax, and genuinely unplug.
For Families ************** Waterbury is one of Vermont's best kept summer secrets. Walk the kids through the Ben and Jerry's Factory just 4 minutes away. Spend the afternoon swimming, kayaking, or fishing at Waterbury Reservoir less than a mile from the front door. Catch free live music Thursday evenings at Rusty Parker Memorial Park in Waterbury Village. Play a round at Blush Hill Country Club just 0.6 miles away. Hike or bike at Bolton Valley 20 minutes away, or head to Stowe to tackle Mount Mansfield or ride the famous recreation path. Back at the farmhouse, the big kitchen table and fully equipped kitchen make it easy to feed the whole crew without the restaurant scramble.
