3103 North Rd Newbury, VT 05051

Vermont history is defined by its rural hill farms with majestic barns, modest homes, and bucolic land. Most have disappeared, lost in time, so when you find one that is largely intact on 101 surveyed acres, you stop and take note, especially if it is on the North Road in West Newbury, VT. The original barn complex includes a 3-story post and beam bank barn, several storage sheds and well house. As a “cathedral built for cows,” the bank barn received extensive structural repairs at some point in the past 50 years and continues to stand true today. South of the barn is the one-bedroom, one-bathroom, single-level homestead with brand new propane furnace, mechanicals, baseboard radiators, plumbing, tub & shower, faucet, bathroom tile, refurbished wood floors and fresh interior paint. If you require a small dwelling or plan to build new, this is a great base camp or future rental. The land itself is exceptional. Ranging in elevation from 1,200 - 1,400 feet, the topography is mostly gentile, ideally suited for recreation and agriculture with fertile soils, productive hay fields and mature woodlands. A farm road extends past the house and surrounding field through a section of woods to three upland fields hidden from view below. The first two fields are part of a conservation easement that includes most of this farm as well as two abutting properties north and south, but the highest field and adjoining 13.48 +/- acres is neither conserved nor in Vermont’s current use program. With long-range views of the White Mountains surrounded by protected land and completely private, this is a special place to build or use as a natural oasis. Future owners can also build in the existing 3.5-acre farmstead area. Surrounded by beauty and owned by the same extended family for generations, this is a rare opportunity to own a special piece of Vermont.
