We are pleased to offer the opportunity to live in a beautiful historic landmark property, the Locust Creek Dance Hall. Located between Bethel and Barnard, Vermont, this 1840s property has been a hotel, stage coach stop, post office, working farm, and dance hall, before being converted to apartments some four decades ago. The unit offered is a ground floor 3-bedroom, 1-bath with a spacious kitchen, its own private entrances, covered garage, patio, and direct access to the creek, the grounds, and beautiful Vermont wilderness beyond. The master suite opens directly into nature, with the sounds of birdsong, burbling creek, and rustling trees. Great care has been taken to preserve the beauty of this great old house. Original wide-board wooden floors throughout provide the magnificent feeling of a bygone era, The 1800s doors, handles, and fixtures have been preserved. The original farmhouse kitchen has been turned into the master suite. The accents are modern, to highlight the antique charm. The property is pet-friendly, and has direct access to a large creek, with meadows and forest beyond. There is an attached communal laundry room, reserved covered parking, and **ALL BILLS ARE INCLUDED.** This is a month-to-month lease, available for a minimum of 3 months. This unit can be available furnished: please contact for details. Conveniently located at the intersection of Routes 12 and 107, the dance hall lies 2 miles from Bethel center, 7 miles from Barnard, 15 miles from Woodstock, and 9 miles each from Randolph and South Royalton. Highway 89 is accessed by exit 3, with White River Junction & Lebanon 30 miles South, and Montpelier & Barre 35 miles North. Killington Ski Resort is 19 miles to the Southwest. The owners are restoring this beautiful farm and dance hall to their former glory, and they are looking for the sort of tenants who can truly appreciate a historic building, and living at the intersection of town and country. To those interested, the unit is available immediately, at a price of $2400.00 per month. Owners pay all bills, including water, heat, gas, electricity, trash, internet. You may wish to get a higher speed internet package, but wifi coverage is fair to excellent throughout the house, and we get 100mpbs, with gigabit LAN available. Owners are responsible for maintenance. Tenants will be responsible for informing the owners of any maintenance needs, and will allow owners access to the unit in order to perform necessary maintenance. This unit contains access to the basement and boilers, and the owners will need basement access, in order to maintain the boiler. There is a reserved private garage attached to this unit, available for tenants' usage. Additional uncovered parking is available. All vehicles must be street legal and able to start and drive. Pets are allowed, on an individual basis. There are a number of dogs and cats living at the property currently, and all animals must be able to coexist peaceably. Route 12 is a highway, and while the unit exits well away from the road, pet owners are urged to keep their animals on the creek-facing side of the property. No smoking is allowed inside of the units. Trees will appreciate the carbon - The walls and ceilings (and owners) will not. The owners do allow smoking on the property, so long as it is outside and not directly beneath the windows. Because this is an older house, sound travels through the floors, and therefore tenants will need to refrain from loud gatherings inside the house. There is a lovely dance hall, and rather exquisite grounds, entirely suitable for entertaining. We ask that anyone considering tenancy be aware that old buildings have creaky floors, and be respectful to their neighbors.
