About this property
Waterfront, Swimming Hotspot, Private Down Town Location, Farmhouse
Beautiful historic farmhouse in the heart of Waitsfield Village! Overlooking the Mad River with private access to the swimming hole. Amazing swimming and fishing is right out the back door! See the Mad River from kitchen, living room and other windows as well! Level back yard is great for children. Convenient downtown location, yet private setting. Sit on the wrap-around front porch with views of the covered bridge. Less than a block to the local Bridge Street shops and restaurants. One block away from the Mad Bus Stop (Bus that can drop you at Sugarbush in the winter) and library. 3 minute drive to grocery stores or even walk or bike there in the summer!
This historic home was built in 1848 and was renovated in 1992. It has wide pine flooring and historic trim and molding around many of the original windows and doors. This property abuts land with a beaver pond and many hiking trails for you to enjoy. The property also connects to the Wu Ledges Town Forest that connects for miles and miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Enjoy kayaking or tubing? Put in up river and climb out on your own private access point.
We have tubs for floats to share. If the river is high, there are also local shops to rent kayaks for a calm river kayak. Explore blueberry lake, only a 10 minute drive for a beautiful day swim, float, kayak or hang out.
Winter-CX ski out the back door! 10 minutes to skiing Sugarbush or Mad River Glen, 40 minutes to Stowe. This is the perfect spot for one or two families to share for a winter ski getaway!
A few things to know... - the basement, barn and other out buildings are not accessible to the rental. - This is an old home, so there is lead paint- (that has been painted over). - There are other rentals in the "barn" at the end of the driveway.
