About This Home

Set on 115.7 acres in the peaceful countryside of Westford, Vermont, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom farmhouse and surrounding property offers a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, and a deep connection to the land. With rolling acreage and wooded areas, the property presents opportunities for small-scale farming, homesteading, maple sugaring, and trail use: the home is located on 55 acres and the additional 60-acres is across the road. The home blends classic character with modern efficiency, featuring both a wood-burning furnace and a gas furnace, with solar panels installed in 2016. The first floor offers two functional kitchens, a sunny living room, a welcoming formal dining room, a home office, flexible bonus space, and a charming enclosed three-season porch—ideal for relaxing and enjoying the changing seasons. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an open sitting area well-suited for a family room or retreat. Outdoor amenities support a true Vermont lifestyle, including an attached storage area, an attached garage for a small car, and a large detached garage with a 12-foot ceiling and an enclosed 24' x 32' space, perfect for vehicles, equipment, or a workshop, plus an additional storage shed. As an added bonus, snowmobile trails are located very close to the property for motorsports enthusiasts! The town of Westford is beloved for its small-town charm, scenic beauty, and strong community, highlighted by a Sunday farmers' market from June through September and access to nearby hiking. Conveniently located just minutes from Westford Elementary School and within easy reach of Essex and Taft Corners, this property offers a rare opportunity to embrace a classic Vermont countryside lifestyle!
