2435 Stage Rd, Guilford, VT 05301

Only a fortunate few have the privilege of calling Green River Village home - a quintessential Vermont hamlet distinguished by its historic covered bridge, the 1811 timber crib dam, and the iconic wood-spired church proudly perched on the hillside above. Sited next to the bridge, the Green River Bridge House, originally a blacksmith shop, enjoys 300 feet of frontage along the Green River. Built in the 1830s and extensively renovated in 2002, the home overlooks a sweeping lawn that stretches to the river’s edge, framed by stone-walled perennial gardens and a private porch perfectly positioned to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The home is thoughtfully designed for rural family life centered around a welcoming country kitchen featuring a six-burner Garland stove, Moffat turbo oven, cozy wood stove, and an impressive marble-topped island ideal for casual dining and gathering. Friends are welcomed through the front door into a gracious living and dining room that is both elegant and inviting. Beyond, you'll find a bright and charming fireplaced pub for entertaining or quiet evenings, a cozy game room/office, and a sweeping staircase leading to the sleeping accommodations. Each bedroom is uniquely enchanting, featuring remarkable recessed chandeliers, dormer windows, and private en-suite baths, including one with a jetted tub for relaxing after a day of outdoor adventure. A lower-level office and studio apartment offer private exterior access with flexibility for personal or business use. Formerly, a bed and breakfast, this is an exceptional country retreat for family & friends. Skiing, cycling, hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, & endless exploration of Vermont’s scenic back roads are all at your door. Picture the gentle Green River lulling you asleep each night!
