The equestrian's dream! This exceptional Vermont horse farm sits beautifully on 10.10 acres in the heart of Colchester Village. No detail was overlooked when the current owners carefully renovated almost the entire house and added a 36'x36' custom horse barn with four stalls, drainage, finished tack room, wash stall with hot water and hayloft. Each stall has its own runout and built-in Nelson automatic horse waterer. The farm boasts 4 horse paddocks with 4-rail wood board fencing (w/ backup electric fencing) and Timothy perennial grass specifically designed for horses. The large outdoor riding arena was professionally engineered and designed by Guillot Vivian. Interior updates are numerous including a complete remodeling of all first floor living spaces which opened the floorplan and added a gourmet chef's kitchen. Additional windows were installed to allow more light and all existing windows were replaced. The second floor primary bedroom ensuite bath was updated with tile walk-in rainshower, double vanity, heated tile flooring and high end fixtures. Other noteworthy features include: hunter douglas blinds throughout, luxury plank vinyl flooring in the downstairs family/rec room, new carpet in all bedrooms and interior/exterior completely painted. The convenience of this location is unbeatable and the quality and care given this home would be hard to find anywhere else! Showings delayed until 5/29/21.
