About This Home

As of October 2020

A winding driveway leads one to this outstanding mountaintop retreat, a 2005 built post and beam Contemporary Vermont farmhouse embraced by the complete privacy that its 90-plus acres offers. 3100 square feet of living space is filled with lots of south facing light and effortlessly accommodates entertainment and gatherings. Dramatic and ever-changing local and long range mountain views, including a view of Barnard Village, enhance every moment of indoor and outdoor living. Beamed ceilings, some cathedral, soap stone counter tops and a commanding brick fireplace are features that capture attention upon entering. A basement family room with French doors that display the views beyond features antique wainscoting and a wood burning stove with stone hearth. Sweeping lawns, stone walls, extensive gardens and a two story barn that is sequestered in a dramatic setting further complement this exceptional property. The seasonal delights of Silver Lake and Silver Lake State Park are the highlight of Barnard Village with its historic General Store just three miles away and only a short drive to the enchanting village of Woodstock. This property owner is a licensed Vermont Realtor.
