Vermont house in stunning private country setting and 360 degree panoramic views

For your 2024 outdoor recharge enjoy secluded privacy on our 60 acre retreat at the base of Equinox Mountain. Relax in the Adirondack chairs by our large outdoor firepit & wood grill, unwind on the large covered porch or rekindle your youth on our 14 foot adult swings. Go fishing , tubing, or canoeing in the renowned Battenkill River (12 minute drive). Hike from our property on the Beartown Gap Trail to top of Equinox Mountain to the famous Skyline Drive and Visitors Center and enjoy 4 state breathtaking views. Play lawn games and just take in the outdoors. NOTE: The last 1/4 mile to the property has some rough spots so a SUV or high clearance car is recommended (such as a Volvo, Forester or Subaru type) however it is not a problem and the destination will well be worth the spectacular view and experience.

INTERESTING NOTE: This property was featured on a National Geographic TV show “Building Wild” episode “Backwoods Bus” found on you tube. Paulie Dimeo and his crew and our family & friends built a small quaint cabin and pond. It is about a 10 minute walk from the rental property if you want to see it. (Sorry no access to inside)

Our property is in Manchester, Vermont about a 30 minute drive to Manchester Village. It is on the opposite side of Equinox Mountain & Manchester Center. Our location is an area still known as Beartown which is a 1700’s community long gone. Our 3 generation house is at the base of Equinox Mountain, the highest peak in Southern Vermont on 60 acres in the middle of a 25 acre meadow. The 360 degree view is truly spectacular. Built in 1962 we remodeled the kitchen & bathroom in 2022 but kept the rustic feel of the living and bedroom area.. There is NO INTERNET OR CELL SERVICE so its a good time to relax and build relationships in our serene nature retreat. We have a land line phone (calling card needed for long distance which we have included) and 70 dvd movies.
