139 Ridge Rd, Landgrove, VT 05148

Marching to the beat of a different drummer, this rustic home on 4 acres with peaceful views on a dirt road just outside the village was built by Sam Ogden in the 1940's when artists were resettling Landgrove village, perched above Utley flats and revitalizing area farmhouses and barns- the home was considered new construction though beams and boards and all had previous lives. As you enter the sitting area on the eave side of this extended saltbox you are greeted with a picturesque fireplace with arched top. The long balcony that connects the two bedrooms, one with a half bath, completes the upper level. Chunky painted stairs lead down to the great room with massive fireplace with Medieval Frieze and open living layout. The country kitchen, 3/4 bathroom and utility area round out the lower level with perennial gardens and views beyond. The considerable view has emerged over the years as trees were cleared making room to open up and for a new permitted septic system. The ambience here is one of an old farmhouse melded with a barn. If you tend to have a vision of what can be or love this home as it sits as these owners do- then you need to have a visit.
