About This Home

Over $400,000 was invested into this backyard alone -and it's right here in Swanton. This isn't just a home-it's a private outdoor resort designed for entertaining, relaxing, and unforgettable evenings. From the moment you step outside, it becomes clear: this property is something truly rare. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Vermont retreat where outdoor living takes center stage. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted, the property features custom masonry, creating an exceptional backyard experience. At the heart of the outdoor space is a dramatic stone fireplace, complemented by a built-in grilling station and a dedicated masonry dining area, all set near an expansive patio that surrounds the above ground pool. Whether hosting gatherings, enjoying quiet evenings by the fire, or taking in the sunset, this private space was built to be lived in and enjoyed. The property also offers RV parking with electrical hookup, providing flexibility for guests or travel enthusiasts. For those looking toward the future, the subdividable land presents a rare opportunity for additional investment, development, or multi-generational living. Located just minutes from the Canadian border, this home offers an ideal balance of privacy and accessibility-perfect as a full-time residence or a Vermont getaway within easy reach of Montreal. Inside, the home has been fully renovated and features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including two main-level bedrooms for flexible living. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly to the patio and living area, where large windows frame the outdoor space and capture stunning sunset views. A spacious laundry area and thoughtfully designed layout provide both comfort and functionality. The outdoor living space alone would be nearly impossible to recreate today at this cost-making this property as compelling an investment as it is a place to call home.
