About This Home

As of November 2023

Whetstone Valley Farm is offered for sale for the first time in three generations. WVF is a quintessential Vermont farm near town with wonderful views. There is a long history of retail maple and lumber sales from this convenient location off Rte 9. The property has a 3000 tap sugarbush with pipeline and state of the art sugarhouse and 60 acres of hay fields with long range views. The sawmill is in operating condition and has great visibility from Rte 9. Retail syrup shop is well-stocked and frequented by both local and out-of-state return customers. Well maintained woods roads and trails provide great access throughout the farm. A nice run-in, tack room and indoor horse stall accommodate the passionate equestrian and hobbyist. A modest farmhouse is included with this offering, sold as-is, and will need some repairs. Extensive former dairy infrastructure is available to repurpose for your use. Excellent indoor storage, equipment storage and strong potential to re-establish a livestock operation. The Silo cell tower earns monthly rental income to offset your holding costs. This gem is located on a dead-end road publicly maintained with great neighbors and well-maintained properties. The family is bringing this property to market in search of the next steward of this historical farm. Schedule your showing today and experience all that Whetstone Valley Farm offers to the next owner of this conserved, iconic farm.
