About This Home

As of August 2025

Nestled on 7.4 acres of rolling meadowlands, this beautifully preserved historic Cape offers breathtaking southeasterly views and some of the most stunning sunsets you will ever experience. Bathed in natural light, the home features antique hardwood floors, an enclosed back porch, and panoramic vistas from nearly every room. The main level includes a cozy living room with built-in bookshelves and a fireplace, a den or office with peaceful views, two bedrooms, and a full bath. The kitchen opens to a separate mudroom, which connects to a one-car garage. Upstairs, you will find 3 additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious attic for storage. The large basement offers ample space for storage or future expansion, and a new well was installed in 2022. With only two families having owned the home over the past 120 years, it exudes timeless character and care. Outdoors, enjoy open spaces perfect for flower and vegetable gardens, surrounded by mature pine woods. Located in the heart of Peacham, one of Vermont's most picturesque and quintessential villages in the Northeast Kingdom, you are just a short drive from Interstates 91 and 93. Recreational opportunities abound with nearby Burke Mountain, Kingdom Trails, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, and Groton State Park. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or a work-from-home haven, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and community charm. School choice available.
