Property Description

This is not just a home -- it is a piece of Vermont history set directly on the rushing waters of Lewis Creek. Rare, memorable, and full of character, this historic mill retreat offers the kind of setting buyers dream about but rarely find. Originally rooted in the 1790s and thoughtfully preserved with reclaimed wood, original stone, and timeless architectural details, the home blends historic charm with comfortable year-round living. Inside, the 2-bedroom layout features an inviting open-concept living area designed to showcase the peaceful creekside surroundings. Step outside and the property becomes truly extraordinary, with decks and outdoor spaces overlooking cascading water, natural rock formations, and a setting that feels private, restorative, and unforgettable. Swim, fish, relax by the water, or simply enjoy the sound of the creek from your own riverside retreat. Thoughtful updates provide comfort while preserving the home's authentic character. Previously used as a successful seasonal rental and intimate wedding venue, the property offers flexibility for personal enjoyment, creative use, or continued rental potential. Tucked away in a serene setting yet just about 30 minutes from Burlington, Middlebury, and Waterbury, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare opportunity to own something truly special.
