Nestled just 5 miles from Stratton's base lodge on the historic grounds of the former White Mop Wringer Co., this remarkable home blends rich history with modern craftsmanship. Built in 2001, the house sits where, in the 1800s, Cassius A. White invented the mop wringer, making Jamaica, Vermont the birthplace of the first mop wringer factory. While the water wheel that powered the factory is no longer standing, the stone wall on the property still bears the outline of where it once stood, a lasting connection to the past. The homes design reflects a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, with pine floors salvaged from a school gymnasium and a ceiling made from wood reclaimed from a school art center. The result is a warm, inviting space with a nod to the area's heritage. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the direct access to Ball Mountain Brook, an outdoor shower, a fire pit, and a beautiful screened porch"perfect for relaxing and connecting with nature. This home offers a unique opportunity to live in a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by history and modern comforts. In addition there is a 4 x 6 closet in the home that is plumbed for a 1/2 bath.
