About This Home

As of December 2022

A monumental and gracious country estate/farm with fiber optic internet! 99.01 slightly rolling acres, many of which are open pasture/gardens and easy access into the woodland on 3 rural town roads. 6 bd and 5 ba, spacious rooms, and a 40' X 90' 3-level barn, plus a 4-car garage. The outbuildings were built in late 20th C. Automatic generator supplies all buildings in event of power failure. 2 working fireplaces- in large living room and in cozy paneled Den/office (with adjoining full bath) (possible first floor BR if needed?) More bookcases, closets/storage than most people could fill. Oversize Country kitchen with wonderful Butler pantry and second pantry. Everything has been carefully maintained with numerous recent updates, all without spoiling the Country charm. Come, enjoy the long wrap-around front porch or large screened porch (new screens!) and most of what you overlook can be yours! A neighbor "sugars" the organic maples each spring in exchange for syrup or $$ - no binding agreement is in place. Private yet a short trip to groceries, hospital, skiing, Grafton Inn, Pub, library and school. Land is enrolled in the Vermont Current Use Program for tax reduction and being sold as such: see Forest plan and map in Docs..
