About this property

3 minute drive to the heart of Manchester! Peaceful 5 bedroom home on 5 acres.

Come enjoy a peaceful Vermont get away! This home is set on 5 acres in Manchester Center, Vermont. It is surrounded by White birch trees so we named it Birch Valley. We purchased this home in June 2017 and have put a lot of time and effort into making this a home away from home for anyone. Just 7 miles (11 minutes) from the Vermont Summer Festival. We are 15 minutes to Bromley resort and 25 minutes to Stratton. The property has an easy access paved driveway and plenty of parking for large vehicles.

There are mountain views from the back and the front of Birch Valley!
This home is 3 Minutes to the heart of Manchester and 5 Minutes to the heart of Dorset.

The open floor plan includes a large dining room, great room, loft and a grand kitchen. This space allows for large groups to congregate with viewing access to all three areas. The spiral staircase up to the loft is great to hang out in the futons and enjoy the mountain view through the two skylights. The wood burning stove is wonderful to enjoy and visible from the kitchen, eating area, loft and main great room.

Enjoy relaxing on the 36’ deck with mountain views. Your welcome to try out the new BBQ. Or play a game of football in the back field. There is a fire pit away from the house for guests to enjoy.
Our driveway is easy to drive large vehicles or trailers and easy to turn around . In snow there are perfect hills to sleigh ride on. Cycle right out of the driveway for a wonderful ride and view of the surrounding mountains.

Our huge pond is low in late summer through October. Other times of the year it is very full and breathtaking. Sit on the balcony or front porch enjoy watching the wildlife and the crystal clear water in the pond. This private get away is peaceful and tranquil.
