The Oliver Rice House is a private estate tucked away right in beautiful downtown Manchester, Vermont. Stunning mountain views abound at this nearly four-acre property complete with pond and pool access, yet you can walk to all your favorite in-town locations. The estate consists of The Oliver Rice House and adjacent barn, built in 1768, along with a second historic barn, and the charming Wheelwright shop (soon to be a tiny movie theater), circa 1770. All of the buildings are oozing with period architectural detail and have been lovingly cared for. As well as the adjacent pond, the backyard of the Oliver Rice house connects to the town recreational fields, with tennis, new track, skateboard park, soccer fields, etc. The barn itself has horse stalls on its lower level where we keep chickens these days. There is even an outhouse on the property that belonged to the famous artist Grandma Moses, as well as a used bookstore/coffeeshop on the property. This is a lovely, historic, quirky property in the mountains of Vermont with easy access to world-class trails, natural areas to swim, farms, etc., and is only three hours from Boston and Montreal, 3.5 from New York City.

    The home was lovely and comfortable. The location could not be beat--- private, peaceful, yet close to the center of town. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay and will definitely seek out this wonderful property for future visits to the area.
