A truly magical setting! If you've never experienced the blissfulness of the Green River Village and its historic covered bridge and crib dam/waterfall and one of the most spectacular swimming holes imaginable, it's a must visit southern Vermont destination. Nestled in this picturesque valley village is this charming old home privately situated on 53.5 acres only a short stroll up the driveway from this beautiful waterfall scene. With its open fields, outstanding sun exposure, pond, stonework, established gardens, berry bushes and apple, pear and peach trees this setting will transport you back in time. The towering old growth sugar maples around the house are true giants and are one of the first things that will make your jaw drop as you enter the peaceful homestead. The house needs work but with this stunning location and unique property attributes it's deserving and worthy of the investment. The 4-bedroom, 2 bath home features original fir flooring throughout the old portion and oak flooring in the addition, a huge 18' X 34' living/dining room a fireplace and massive hearth, a country kitchen with antique wood cookstove, an office/study (or 1st floor bedroom) and a small bath and laundry on the main level and 3 bedrooms and the primary bedroom suite upstairs. The central heating system was propane hot water baseboard but is not functional at present. The owner currently heats with wood only. Freshly painted in 2025. Roof replaced with standing seam metal in 2005. Property is enrolled in the Use Value Appraisal (current use) with 8 acres excluded encompassing the open land, gardens and pond area around the home site. The true southern exposure, local views of the hills surrounding the river valley, access to the river and the privacy this property provides is special and very difficult to find.
