Rarely does a property offer this combination of history, setting, and opportunity. Located just a half mile from downtown Waterbury, this picturesque one-acre parcel overlooks Crossett Brook and is framed by mature trees in one of Central Vermont's most sought-after locations, with easy access to I-89, Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and all the recreation and amenities the Mad River Valley has to offer. Believed to have been built in 1890 as the residence of the foreman of the nearby sawmill, this historic home is ready for its next chapter. Rich with original character and architectural detail, the structure will require a substantial renovation, but for the right buyer, that's where the opportunity begins. Whether your vision is to thoughtfully restore its historic character, create a distinctive Vermont retreat, or explore new possibilities for the site, this property offers an exceptional canvas, subject to any necessary approvals. The current owner, an architect, has already done much of the early legwork. Existing drawings, conceptual design studies, completed test pits identifying both its current primary and a backup septic location for potential expansion, and a drilled well provide valuable resources for future planning. Municipal water is also available nearby. Architectural design and project coordination services may be available separately for buyers interested in continuing the vision, but are not included in the sale. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare! A remarkable setting where history, natural beauty, and vision come together to create something truly special.

Whether you're looking for a full time property or a private country retreat, this property combines the beauty of nature with modern comfort in a truly special setting.
Point your weekend north. This North Duxbury chalet sits in a woodsy mountainside neighborhood where Camel's Hump hikes, VAST trails, and mountain biking start at the end of the driveway and River Road rolls you to Richmond in minutes. The home answers with what Nordic architecture does best: warm wood, clean lines, light. The kitchen sits at the base of the action gas range, dishwasher, chef's island while the main living area takes the loft above, wrapped in wood and looking down on it all like the treehouse you never outgrew. Not a square foot of carpet anywhere: radiant heat in the sealed-cement walkout below, wood and tile underfoot above. Two bedrooms and two baths on the main floor. Then the walkout lower level rewrites the floor plan with its 3/4 bath and room to roam, it's a natural primary suite, guest quarters, or flexible third space (the town lists two; the house is more ambitious). Ten-plus minutes to Waterbury Village and I-89 Exit 10 keeps Waitsfield, Montpelier, Stowe, and Burlington in easy range. Owned well and septic, propane heat, garden shed, satellite internet. More than meets the eye come see it in person.
High above the valley in rural Duxbury, this 2023-built log cabin was made for real Vermont mountain living. The dark-stained log exterior sits under a corrugated metal roof. Inside, knotty pine paneling, milled and cut on the property, wraps every wall and vaulted ceiling in warmth. Wide-board pine floors run throughout, and west-facing windows frame Camel's Hump like a painting that changes with the season. The kitchen pairs granite counters and a farmhouse sink with white shaker cabinets and stainless appliances. The great room shares that vaulted ceiling, with schoolhouse pendants and an open staircase up to a spacious loft for a home office, guests, or more gathering space. Downstairs, a pellet stove and finished walkout space add more room. Two bedrooms and two baths round out the layout, and the wastewater permit already covers four, so there's room to grow. A garage was part of the original plan and the lot is already zoned for it so ready when you are. It's generator-ready to be prepared for all Vermont weather. Outside, raised garden beds and a greenhouse await next season, and the yard opens onto a ground-level deck facing Camel's Hump and a spring-fed pond alive with peepers on warm spring evenings. Ridley Brook stocked with brook trout is a short walk away, and the known Winooski River fly-fishing spot near the dam is down the road. The Camel's Hump trailhead is two miles away for hiking, hunting, and backcountry skiing maintained by the Catamount Trail Association. When the snow flies, ski right out your door and connect to the VAST trail system. You're 15 minutes from Waterbury and I-89, 25 minutes from Richmond, and under an hour from Cochran's, Bolton Valley, Stowe, Smuggler's Notch, and Sugarbush. A strong road association keeps the class 4 road maintained year-round in an area with the close-knit feel that's getting harder to find. This is mountain living the way it's supposed to feel: rugged where it counts, comfortable where it matters.
