Every kid wants a treehouse, but if you’re lucky, you can have one as an adult, too.
Tucked at the end of a private road in Waltham, Vt., 191 Rabbit Run is a masterfully crafted three-bed, two-bath log cabin that would make Davy Crockett jealous. Measuring 3,355 square feet and built in 1990, the home sits on 13 acres and is on the market for $439,000.
Peacefully set under a forest canopy, the home welcomes guests with old-growth pine pillars in the grand entrance. An open floor plan features an updated kitchen and dining area, which fills with light thanks to two skylights. No detail has been spared, ranging from the custom wooden cabinet pulls to the intricately designed light switches. The great room has high, cathedral-style ceilings with exposed beams and skylights that emphasize the rustic nature of the wood.
On the second floor, the primary suite features cathedral ceilings with skylights that tower over cherry flooring with custom pinecone inlays. A walk-in cedar closet provides plenty of storage, while a contemporary European gas fireplace adds to the cozy ambiance. From a private balcony, a suspension bridge leads across the property to a treehouse that towers 40 feet over the forest floor and has a deck around the back. Constructed in the same high quality as the rest of the home, it offers a stunning view of the wooded area.
Back in the main house, the finished basement features a mudroom and gym. There is also a garage that has been converted into a workshop but could easily be switched back to house a vehicle. The property also features a maple sugar house, which could be of use this upcoming winter.
Thus far, the property has been receiving significant interest from investors looking for short-term rentals. But for the right family who is looking to embrace an untraditional property, it could be the right home.
“It’s such a unique layout. It’s not your standard cookie-cutter home,” said Elliot Roucheleau of Flex Realty, the listing agent on the property. “We’ve been getting interest as a second home and Airbnb. It takes a unique buyer.”
