Trade traffic for birdsong and weekends that actually feel like an escape. As if created for the song, Over the River and Through the Woods, tucked away in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, lies this private 10.22-acre retreat, where rustic living meets modern comforts. Cross your own pedestrian bridge, on foot or in a side by side, and leave the world behind. Winding through a beautiful wood road, with the sounds of the river to guide you, you are greeted by a sun soaked clearing and homestead in the distance. Highlighted by a charming log cabin and utilitarian barn, the property overlooks both the clearing and a tranquil wildlife pond, while over 1,000 feet of New Haven River frontage offers countless places to swim, wade, and unwind. Wander wooded trails to hidden mountain waterfalls, relax in sunny meadows, or spend the afternoon discovering one of the river's natural swimming holes. The property also features a beautifully crafted oak-pegged post-and-beam barn with a sleeping loft, perfect for hosting family and friends, creating a rustic gathering space, or simply enjoying the timeless character of this unique mountain retreat. Enjoy coffee on the expansive back deck as the morning mist rises off the pond, evenings around the fire under star filled skies, and the rare luxury of complete privacy without sacrificing convenience. High-speed internet, a heat pump, woodstove, and LP direct-vent heater provide year-round comfort while preserving the property's authentic Vermont charm. With an engineered four bedroom septic system, the planning and capacity are already in place for future expansion or renovation of the existing cabin. Whether you're seeking a peaceful weekend getaway, a family retreat, or your own private mountain sanctuary, this property offers the best of Vermont, wild, beautiful, and wonderfully accessible. Showings start Thursday, 7/9. Open House Sunday, 7/12, 10 AM to 12 PM.
