Historic Vermont Farmhouse • Minutes to Skiing

Step Back in Time in This 1795 Mad River Valley Retreat

Welcome to a charming historic home built in 1795 by the first treasurer of Waitsfield, nestled just off Highway 100 in Moretown, just before entering Waitsfield and the heart of the Mad River Valley. With peaceful surroundings and quick access to Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen, this home blends early Vermont history with thoughtful modern updates.

The Space

This is an authentic old Vermont home full of original character. As part of its charm, you may experience uneven floors, squeaky doors, and the quirks that naturally come with a 200+ year-old home—a warm and nostalgic alternative to a modern new build.

Upstairs Bedrooms (4 total):

Primary Suite: Queen bed with an attached private bathroom featuring double sinks and a rain-shower head.

Note: The only upstairs bathroom is inside the primary suite.

The shower temperature is set to a comfortable preset and does not adjust.

John Deere Room: Full bed

Blue Bedroom: Full bed

Daybed Room: Twin daybed

Downstairs Bedroom:

Queen bed plus a dedicated workspace with monitor—ideal for remote work.

Work-Friendly Layout

The home includes two dedicated office areas:

A beautiful sunny office surrounded by windows, complete with a monitor and peaceful winter views.

A second workstation with monitor in the downstairs bedroom.

Bathrooms

Upstairs: Private primary bathroom

Downstairs:

Bathroom with laundry and a small stand-up shower

Second bathroom with a tub/shower combo

Kitchen

Enjoy an updated kitchen stocked with all your cooking essentials—perfect for quick pre-ski breakfasts or cozy dinners at home.

Entertainment

The only TV is a projector in the living room with a Fire Stick for streaming.

Amenities

WiFi: 80 Mbps, great for streaming and working remotely

Quiet setting just off Highway 100

Minutes to Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, shops, dining, and outdoor adventures

Dog-Friendly

The home welcomes 1 dog maximum with an additional pet fee.

Please Note

This home is over two centuries old, and part of its charm includes uneven floors, squeaky doors, and historic quirks. It offers a cozy, authentic Vermont experience rather than a modern build.
