About This Home

As of January 2022

What an amazing opportunity to own two substantial homes on the main access road to Jay Peak Resort. This 4-5 BR 1870's Colonial farmhouse with its spectacular construction features a mudroom with butternut moulding that walks into a country kitchen/DR area, large LR with woodstove, and a half bathroom w laundry. There's a small BR on the first floor. On the 2nd floor you'll find 3 more bedrooms, and a full bath. Primary BR has a private sitting area/closet. The 3rd floor has 2 more bedrooms, with high ceilings, and loads of natural light. Garage/studio home is set up as a workshop/storage area on the lower level of this home. On the main floor is a LR, kitchen, half bath, and spiral wrought iron staircase leading up to a huge LR, large BR, and a full bath with clawfoot tub and laundry. Eyebrow dormer in the LR with custom woodwork, skylights, private balcony and curved walls. VT has five seasons, but there'll be NO mud season since you're on a paved road. So much character. 2+/- acres has gardens, river frontage with an entertaining oasis at the waters edge. There's a stone 'hobbit house' that doubles as a wood burning sauna that needs some work. Gardens, privacy, location and two substantial dwellings make this property an amazing value and opportunity! Use one place, and rent the other for income. Rarely does a property like this come along.Perfect ski house Vermont at its finest, and only five minutes to the slopes and greens of Jay Peak Four Season Resort!
