What This House Offers
ANNUAL LEASE OR 18-MONTH LEASE: BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2027Log Cabin Overlooking The Battenkill...Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the mountains at this striking Vermont residence, perched above the clear, trout-filled waters of the historic Battenkill. Located just a scenic six-mile drive from Arlington village along the winding bends of Route 313, this property sits in the heart of an unspoiled river valley that captures the very soul of the Vermont lifestyle. Cross a quiet bridge to discover a custom 2001 Beaver Mountain Log Home where rugged, hand-hewn charm meets sophisticated, European-inspired upgrades. Inside, the fully furnished main floor welcomes you with a spacious primary suite complete with a private, spa-like bath, alongside an open-concept kitchen and dining area built for hosting post-hike dinners and holiday gatherings. A crackling wood-burning stove serves as the heart of the cozy living room, while a dedicated home office, a versatile den, a guest bath, and a handy mudroom-style laundry closet round out the main floor. A flight of stairs leads to a private second bedroom, a full bath, and an expansive loft den that looks out over the dramatic timber framing of the great room below. The attached oversized one-car garage keeps your vehicle and gear safe from the winter elements. This property serves as the perfect basecamp for four-season adventure, located just a short drive from the historic covered bridges and local shops of Manchester, as well as the legendary slopes of Bromley and Stratton Mountain Resorts. For summer excursions, the vibrant cultural scene, live music, and historic race course of Saratoga Springs and SPAC are an easy 45 minutes away. Securing this piece of Vermont paradise requires a background check, credit check, and references. Don t miss your chance to spend a full year living the valley dream along the legendary Battenkill.
