Heather Lodge is a charming Vermont getaway with breathtaking views across the Upper Valley. On a clear day, you can see the White Mountains, Mount Cardigan, Mt. Moosilauke, and Kearsarge on the eastern horizon. In days of yore, small mountain camps were commonplace among local folks from the valley and Heather Lodge was known then as Miss Brown’s camp. The current owners replaced the original camp with this enchanting timber frame residence, repurposing timber posts and beams from a nearby barn and selecting a variety of locally harvested and milled yellow birch and pine for walls, floors and trim. The main level features a bright and open floor plan, with a tidy mudroom, vaulted ceilings in the living room, a well-designed kitchen with center island and walk-in pantry, a dining nook surrounded by windows and offering wonderful long-range views, and a bathroom featuring a beautiful, refinished cast iron tub, original to the camp. The upper level features a generous bedroom with amazing eastern views, a second full bathroom and a spacious loft overlooking the living room which makes an ideal home office or sleeping space for overnight guests. The full walkout basement could be finished for additional living space and because the slab extends beyond the exterior wall, the basement could easily be expanded if desired. The house sits on a gently sloping, sunny one-acre lot and the property is offered with a detached four-acre woodlot, originally used to provide firewood for the camp, located a few hundred feet to the west. A truly remarkable property in one of the most distinguished communities in central Vermont, surrounded by magnificent homes and expansive gentleman’s farms, ensuring the serenity and bucolic scenery of the area will be preserved for generations.
