Waterbury Center, VT — The property formerly home to the acclaimed Michael's on the Hill restaurant will be offered at a Live Real Estate Auction on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 11:00 AM, following a public Open House on Thursday, August 6, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Conducted by The Thomas Hirchak Company, the auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark commercial property in one of New England's most desirable tourism destinations.

Located just minutes from Stowe, one of New England's premier four-season resort destinations, the property offers exceptional visibility along Vermont's iconic Route 100, a scenic highway traveled by thousands of residents and visitors throughout the year. Its location within one of Vermont's busiest tourism corridors makes it an attractive opportunity for hospitality operators, entrepreneurs, investors, and developers seeking a property with character, recognition, and long-term potential.

Originally built in 1900 as a Vermont farmhouse, the property was thoughtfully transformed into an elegant restaurant that became a recognized dining destination for both locals and visitors traveling through the Stowe and Waterbury region. For years, Michael's on the Hill welcomed guests seeking an upscale dining experience and earned a reputation as a destination restaurant for both Vermont residents and travelers exploring the region. Situated on 4.0± acres, the property offers approximately 4,877± square feet, three bathrooms, generous on-site parking, and the charm of a classic Vermont country estate.

Potential future uses may include a restaurant, hospitality venue, event space, boutique inn, or other commercial enterprise, subject to local zoning and municipal approvals.

The real estate auction is being conducted as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. The real estate will be sold separately from the restaurant's furnishings, equipment, and other contents, which will be offered in a future commercial auction.
