About this home

A rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Vermont history. Once the Burr Pond School, Sudbury's historic one-room schoolhouse, this distinctive property offers the chance to own and restore a landmark that served generations of local children. Identified in local histories as School District No. 5 on East Burr Pond Road, the Burr Pond School was the last one-room schoolhouse in Sudbury to close, making this a truly special piece of the town's heritage. Set on a private 0.13-acre lot just approximately 150 yards from the public access at beautiful Burr Pond, the home offers an incredible opportunity for someone with vision to bring this historic property back to life. While in need of updating and renovation, many of the essentials are already in place, including a drilled well, private septic system, a standing seam metal roof, and a propane-fired boiler providing baseboard heat. The home is permitted for three bedrooms and currently features two finished bedrooms, with additional potential for future improvements. Inside, the original schoolhouse character remains unmistakable, with soaring curved ceilings, oversized windows that fill the space with natural light, and a charming rooftop cupola that creates a unique lookout unlike anything you'll find in a typical home. A portion of the basement has been well insulated, providing a solid foundation for future work. Whether you're dreaming of restoring a historic Vermont schoolhouse, creating a one-of-a-kind year-round residence, or establishing a memorable vacation retreat near the water, this property offers endless possibilities. Spend your days swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting at Burr Pond, all just a short stroll from your front door. Opportunities to own a property with this much history, character, and potential are few and far between.
