4BR MAIN HOUSE, 1BR BARN APARTMENT, AND SEPARATE RESTORED VINTAGE BARN | Tucked along a quiet back road with the gentle sounds of the flowing Winhall River, this beautifully restored Vermont farmhouse feels worlds away, yet is just 10 minutes from Stratton Mountain Resort. Blending authentic character, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern comfort, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and retreat while keeping the mountain and year-round recreation within easy reach. Once the summer residence of renowned art historian Meyer Schapiro, the property retains the riverside beauty and creative spirit that have long defined it. Thoughtfully renovated by Vermont Country Builders, the home preserves its historic soul while providing quality and efficiency suited for each season. The main house spans three levels. An expanded kitchen with soapstone countertops opens to a spacious dining room and cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace. Original wide-plank floors, antique doors, and a classic clawfoot tub celebrate the home’s heritage. Improvements include modern insulation, electrical, plumbing, a new foundation, sheetrock, a high-efficiency propane boiler, HRV ventilation, mini-splits, Marvin windows, and an improved floor plan. Additional upgrades include standing-seam roofs on all buildings, custom gutters and snow guards, updated baths, custom built-ins, new appliances, and AZEK decks. A separate guest house, originally Schapiro’s art studio, offers a 1BR apartment with SMEG appliances, in-unit laundry, and a private hot tub. Below are heated storage and a screened porch. The restored barn offers parking and an EV charger. Extensive stonework, thoughtful landscaping, gardens, decks, a stone patio, and a welcoming front porch complement the peaceful setting along the Winhall River. Direct access to the West River Rail Trail makes it easy to walk, bike, swim, and explore right from home. Listing agent is related to seller. See neighboring property MLS #5101689.
A true Vermont lodge in every sense—warm, welcoming, beautifully appointed, and designed to bring people together. This exceptional mountain retreat combines the character and comfort buyers dream about in a Vermont home with the space, amenities, and proven rental history that make it equally appealing as an investment. The property has enjoyed a strong rental history with repeat guests who return to experience this special home year after year. Inside, the expansive open-concept living areas were made for gathering after a day on the mountain, while thoughtfully designed private spaces allow everyone room to relax and recharge. Curl up beside one of two fireplaces as the snow falls outside, host movie nights in the impressive 11-foot home theater, or gather in the great room around the 90-inch TV for game day. The lodge experience continues outdoors, where four-season entertaining takes center stage. Grill and dine beneath the stars, soak in the six-person hot tub, unwind in the eight-person sauna, then end the evening around the fire pit surrounded by the peaceful Vermont forest. Every detail has been considered to create a property that feels less like simply a house and more like a destination. There is room for extended family, friends, ski weekends, holidays, and generations of memories—all with the comforts and amenities of a private mountain resort. Whether you're searching for a quintessential Vermont escape to enjoy yourself, a gathering place for family and friends, or a property with an established rental history and repeat clientele, this remarkable lodge offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find. Arrive, settle in, and experience the Vermont lifestyle exactly as it was meant to be.
