About this home
This is not your typical Vermont farmhouse—it’s far better. Surrounded by rolling fields and pastoral views, this beautifully updated home combines classic country charm with modern ease. Inside, you’ll find a warm, sunlit layout anchored by a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring high-end Viking appliances, granite counters, and custom cabinetry. The spacious primary suite is a luxurious retreat, offering peace, comfort, and incredible storage. A flexible floor plan adds to the home's appeal, with a first-floor bonus room—currently a playroom—offering potential as a guest suite or private bedroom, complete with its own covered deck overlooking the fields. Outside, the property is built for both lifestyle and purpose. A 4-stall horse barn with run-in, large cattle barn, oversized workshop, and detached 2-car garage make it ready for your dreams—be it hobby farming, equestrian living, or simply room to roam. A charming one-room cabin tucked in the treeline is perfect for guests, creative space, or glamping. All located in the heart of Vermont ski country—just minutes from Okemo, with easy access to Stratton, Bromley, and Magic. Whether you're looking for a forever home, a modern homestead, or a lifestyle upgrade, this one-of-a-kind property offers beauty, function, and endless inspiration.

Here is a fantastic chance to own a classic working Vermont farm on 22 plus acres that has everything you need to live the complete farmer’s lifestyle. A Gambrel barn with stables and a hayloft provide the perfect place to enjoy spending your time between equestrian rides. There is also a large Morton Barn for maintenance and machine storage, a Broken Gable barn for field equipment and a Linhay Shed. Positioned next to the spacious farmhouse is a large two car garage that is certainly appreciated on heavy snow days. The house itself bestows an exceptionally large dining area off the kitchen for entertaining lots of friends and family. Bring everyone around the wood burning fireplace to share your warmth. In addition to the living room with fireplace, there is also a bedroom on the main level with French doors that lead to a deck outside with a smaller fireplace and equestrian mounting steps. Upstairs has a bright master bedroom suite with lots of natural light, another full bath, and two additional bedrooms for your children and/or guests. This farm has everything a farm should have, including its location, situated about halfway between Ludlow’s Okemo Mountain Resort and the charming town of Chester.
