About this home
Rise to the hum of possibility on 42 acres of untamed Leicester land, where this bold farmhouse dares you to redefine rural living. Inside, weathered beams pulse with character, blending seamlessly with a sleek, custom-renovated bathroom that pops with personality. Three bedrooms provide a haven, with room upstairs to craft a second bath for ease. Out back, two rugged barns beg for livestock or your wildest DIY dreams, while a sugarhouse and a high-tech outbuilding—wired with water, power, and a heat pump—ignite ideas of a bustling farm hub or a sunlit creative studio. Optional greenhouses stand ready to fuel a veggie dynasty or a floral empire, with an electric car charger to keep your green game strong. Roam the vast fields, chase epic Vermont sunsets that blaze in scarlet and amber, or crash on a camping platform under a star-drenched sky. Minutes from Middlebury and Brandon’s vibrant downtowns, dive into quirky cafes, killer eats, and local shops, with Rutland’s buzz just a quick drive away. Lake Dunmore and nearby trails call for kayaking, swimming, or gritty hikes. Amped up with new 200-amp service, fresh plumbing, and cutting-edge heat pumps, this place is built for dreamers. Showings begin 7/19.

Here is a great opportunity to own a special piece of Vermont on this 47 acre mini-farm. The land is a mix of woods & open meadow representing approx 25% & 75% respectively. There is a lovely mountain view to the south & pretty westerly sunsets. The outbuildings offer many possibilities; there is a green house, potting barn, garage, old milk house, sugar house & freestanding pole barns. The entire property has been operated organically for 40+ years so could easily be certified. The entry to the house has a nice slate sunroom, a wall of cabinets that would be ideal for coats, boots, hats mittens etc & a perfect pantry as it is just off the kitchen. The living room has a hardwood floor & pleasant brick hearth. The soapstone woodstove provides a warm, cozy room to curl up with a good book taken from the built in shelves. The upstairs master bedroom has wonderful built in drawers & cabinets. There is a cute little room that was used as a sewing room and an additional two bedrooms.
