Tucked at the end of a private, town-maintained road at the base of Red Mountain, this exceptional property offers privacy and flexibility: two fully independent residences, beautiful grounds and a peaceful setting just minutes from the heart of Arlington and an easy drive to Manchester. Surrounded by gardens, orchards, terraces, and forest, this is a true Vermont retreat. The 2,676-square-foot main residence is warm, light-filled, and thoughtfully designed. River-reclaimed heart pine floors, new Andersen windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and screened porches add character throughout. The main level offers a living room, kitchen and dining area, laundry and walk-in pantry, powder room, library/office, and primary suite with French doors to the rear patio. Upstairs are two bedrooms plus a flexible fourth room ideal for an office or nursery. A walk-in attic offers additional potential. Just steps away, the 1,152-square-foot guest house is a substantial second residence with a dramatic great room, cast-iron wood stove, charming kitchen, bedroom, full bath, laundry, and loft. Ideal for extended family, guests, caretaker, home office, or potential rental income. Both have a dry basement for storage and attached two-car garages. Mechanical systems are impeccably maintained, including hot air heat, central air, and whole-house generators. Outside, approximately five cleared acres feature orchards, gardens, lush landscaping, a deck, stone terraces, and an architecturally designed fire pit. Beyond the homes, the property extends across approximately 125 acres with trails, a private stream, and Battenkill River frontage. 121 acres are enrolled in Vermont’s Current Use program, providing meaningful tax savings. A natural spring serving as one of the town’s water sources also provides water to the property at no cost. Private, versatile, and remarkably well cared for, this is a rare opportunity to own two complete residences in an extraordinary Southern Vermont setting.
The historic Arlington Inn & Spa is the centerpiece of scenic Arlington, Vermont. It features a tavern, restaurant and massage spa room. There are 15 guest rooms in 3 buildings, and an antique event barn on over 3.5 beautifully landscaped acres. This unique property can easily be configured in many creative ways. It could remain as an inn with a restaurant and bar. It could become a restaurant and event destination for weddings and parties. And it would make a wonderful family compound or corporate retreat. In addition to three guest suites, the c. 1848 Main Inn offers a commercial kitchen serving formal and informal dining spaces and the fully renovated Deming Tavern. The romantic Tavern features an antique bar front crafted from a pulpit from the Old First Church in Bennington and Pullman Railcar lighting in a nod to Martin Chester Deming, the original owner of the property and a railroad magnate. While respecting historical detail, the current owners have added modern conveniences and updates. This includes underground utilities, fiber optic high-speed WIFI internet, SmartTV in every room, portable a/c units and USB port alarm clocks. Antique romance with 21st century upgrades! Guests are free to enjoy the front and back yards, patio areas, gazebo and beautiful perennial gardens. This special property is ready for the next stewards to take it to a new level!
