Private 3-Acre Renovated Farmhouse Retreat

Gilbride Gallery House

Set on three private acres in Manchester, this thoughtfully renovated 3 bedroom Vermont farmhouse offers a quiet, comfortable place to settle in. The home is designed for easy living, with bright, open spaces, comfortable bedrooms, and a simple, intentional layout that works well for families or small groups.


Surrounded by open land, the property offers a sense of space that’s hard to find. There’s room to relax, gather, and enjoy time outside, with a simple outdoor setup for dining and seating throughout the day. An outdoor grill and fire pit seating area create an easy setting for summer evenings, relaxed dinners, and quiet nights under the stars.


Located within Manchester, the home provides convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and essentials while still feeling calm and removed. It’s close to everything, without being in the middle of it.


A separate barn/cottage, Elliott Barn, is also located on the property and may be rented independently during your stay. The main house maintains its own privacy and space, and the setting remains quiet and low-traffic.


This is a place designed to be easy: clean, comfortable, and set up for a relaxed stay in Vermont.
