Property Description

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.
