About This Home

As of July 2020

A beautiful country oasis tucked in the heart of Norwichs downtown, the historically significant property known as the Huntley Farm is truly one of a kind. The grand 1777 Federal style home anchors the 4.5 acre property, and has been recognized as potentially the most beautiful home in Norwich by Vermont Historian Philip White. The gracious home features large, spacious rooms, multiple fireplaces, wide hallways, detailed wainscoting and a wonderful circular flow. Once a prominent working farm, a spectacular barn accompanies the home, and has a rich history of its own. The barns striking studio space/apartment makes an ideal home office, with sweeping ceilings, great light, and exposed beams. The barn also houses a large vaulted space, perfect for everything from basketball and scooters, to parties, plays, concerts and weddings. The grounds host a lovely mature apple orchard, sprawling lawn, and beautiful sunset views overlooking Bragg Hill. Each season on Huntley Farm offers opportunities to revisit its farming roots such as apple picking and cider pressing, maple sugaring, gardening, and chicken keeping, all just a short walk away from the Marion Cross School, Dan and Whits, and Huntley Meadows playing fields. This historic property awaits its next stewards and truly offers the best of both worlds - quintessential country charm with the convenience of in town living.
