Enjoy the beauty of Vermont from the large screened porch with tiled floor overlooking wildlife and natural surroundings. The garden has a frost free pump, raised beds, pear and peach trees and nearby are two unique vernal, seasonal pools. Modern conveniences include high-speed fiber optics for remote work and a handicap ramp for easy accessibility.
