About This Home

As of January 2020

Pristinely set on 45 acres of expansive green pastures and shaded woodlands, this Federal style house, built circa 1780, has been completely renovated with historic integrity back to its original beauty. Recent improvements include a refinished kitchen, landscaping and new 12 over 12 mullion glass windows. The home boasts large rooms comprised of a charming tavern with a large attached greenhouse, large living room with enormous fireplace, an ensuite master bedroom, and exterior porches. The homes’ original features have been preserved to a high standard, including fireplaces, wide pine floors, moldings, balustrades, and more. Outbuildings include a custom built post and beam barn, four season studio or workshop, potting shed and barn/ four car garage. Outdoor living spaces abound. A stunning bluestone patio with stonewalls and seating overlooks the rivers, mountains and an historic c.1899 train trestle bridge with a wonderful swimming hole. The gardening enthusiast will delight in the 18th century style herb garden, and apple orchard lining a country road. For the equestrian or animal lover there is 600-foot gated corral. Nearby you will find an abundance of four season activities, such as downhill and cross country ski areas, golf, boating. Perfect for your Vermont Haven or a charming B&B.
