About this home
This quintessential 4 bedroom (with a septic permit for up to 5 bedrooms)/2.5 bathroom farmhouse, fully renovated and absolutely gorgeous, is perched on a grassy knoll overlooking 32 acres of rolling meadow, hardwood forest and private pond. The modern touches that are essential for today's style of living pair perfectly with the warmth and charm of an old farmhouse. The house was renovated in 2017, including new roof, insulation, pine flooring as well as all plumbing, electrical and heating systems. The open kitchen/living area features a beautiful fieldstone fireplace and there's a main level family room with a side office. Upstairs are the 4 current bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including the principal bedroom with its en-suite bath. The large mudroom can handle all your clothes and gear. Sun or Shade? You have choices of two elevated stone patios to enjoy outdoor living in total privacy. The large majestic barn offers plenty of options for events or storage, so bring your dancing boots and have an old fashioned barn dance! The fields, pond and apple trees attract all sorts of wildlife and there couldn't be a more perfect hill for wintertime sledding, snow-shoeing or skating! The expansive fields are currently mowed by a local farmer in exchange for the hay, and Gunderson Road is maintained and plowed by the town. Visit the Okemo real estate community today.

The second floor has a wonderfully fresh full bath and 3 bedrooms. The master has a lined fireplace and enjoys natural light. An amazing unfinished space with new windows awaits your own design for perhaps a master suite? The front of the home showcases a large stone patio. A handsome pond is located just to the side of the home, always ready for relaxing on the stone bench or stocking with fish as it is said to be 12' deep. Another incredible feature of this farmhouse property, loaded with history, is the immense barn! A walk through it when you visit is a must. Location! Location! Location!
