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 perched proudly on the hillside above. Sited adjacent 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 Inn overlooks a sweeping lawn that stretches to the river's edge, framed by stone-walled perennial gardens & a private porch perfectly positioned for enjoying the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The home is thoughtfully designed, with spacious owner's quarters 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. Guests are welcomed through the front door into a gracious living and dining room that is both elegant and inviting. Beyond, you'll find a charming fireplaced pub, a cozy game room, and a sweeping staircase leading to the guest accommodations. Each guest room 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. An office and a lower-level studio apartment offer private exterior access, providing flexibility for personal or business use. Whether you envision an exceptional private residence for entertaining family & friends or wish to revive the Inn's distinguished international reputation as a bed-and-breakfast, wedding venue, or retreat destination, this property presents a rare opportunity. Cross-country skiing, cycling, hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, & endless exploration of Vermont's scenic back roads are all right outside your door.
