Description
Heather Lodge is a charming getaway offering breathtaking views with the White Mountains, Mt. Cardigan, Moosilauke, and Kearsarge all visible on the eastern horizon. In days of yore, mountain camps were commonplace among local folks from the valley and Heather Lodge was known then as Miss Brown’s camp. The current owners replaced the original camp with this enchanting timber frame residence, repurposing timber from a nearby barn and selecting locally harvested and milled yellow birch and pine for walls, floors and trim. The main level features a bright and open floor plan with a tidy mudroom, living room with vaulted ceilings, a spacious kitchen with center island and walk-in pantry, a dining nook surrounded by windows, and a bathroom featuring a beautiful, refinished cast iron tub, original to the camp. The upper level features a generous bedroom with inspiring views, a second bathroom and a spacious loft which makes an ideal home office or sleeping space for guests. Because the slab extends beyond the exterior wall, the full walkout basement could easily be expanded and finished for additional living space. The home sits on a gently sloping, sunny one-acre lot and is offered with a detached four-acre woodlot, a few hundred feet to the west. A remarkable property in one of the most distinguished communities in central Vermont, surrounded by magnificent homes and expansive gentleman’s farms, ensuring the serenity and bucolic scenery will be preserved for generations.
