49 Carpenter Hill Rd Unit 240 & 239 Guilford, VT 05301

The Springs Farm, one of Guilford's historic properties has been in the same family since 1868. The original house believed to have been built in the early 1800's, had major additions added in the late 1800's. It sits on a level plateau and looks over fields & forestland conserved against development by the Vermont Land Trust & owned by the New England Forestry Foundation. Site of the Guilford Springs Company, a purveyor of bottled mineral water & a summer retreat for guests to enjoy the curative powers of it's springs, many bedrooms in the house & long-unoccupied, residential wing of the massive (160'x40') barn, still bear the original room numbers. The house has been well-cared for & recent water tests, radon tests, a septic inspection report & a building inspection report indicate that though the next owner will likely make upgrades and improvements, the bodies of the structures are sound. A stroll beneath the massive trees, a quiet afternoon on the covered porch or an evening in the original front parlor are also testimony that the soul of the place is also intact. The combination of land, structures, setting and atmosphere make this the quintessential Vermont property. Close proximity to Guilford Center Village and the library, Guilford Grange and access to Brattleboro are all extra benefits. Maybe this is the place for you to establish your roots for the next 150 years. Property being sold "as is".
