About this home

This location is the longtime home and studio of the late Arthur Jones, one of Vermont's most famous artists. Jones is well known for his Vermont landscapes found in museums around the country and throughout the world. Nestled along a babbling brook with access to trails and gorgeous gardens and enough maple trees for a backyard sugar bush is this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home on +/-5.5 acres with an additional cleared lot with a well ready to build on (septic needed). Enter through the light filled studio space with propane stove to the cathedral ceilinged great room (25x20) with skylights, built-ins and exposed beams. Main level also boasts a generous bedroom and full bath. Great use of space with another bedroom and loft space upstairs. Totally unique and incredible opportunity tucked back off a quiet dead-end road yet conveniently located in the heart of Dorset!
