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 an 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.
