About this home
Picture yourself in the Vermont countryside, you've found the quintessential renovated farmhouse with a historic barn. You walk into the warm and inviting house and sit at the dining table, looking out over the over 50-year-old apple orchard, open meadows and beyond the tree line to beautiful mountain views. This is Home. Step inside and feel warmth and a peaceful flow that carries throughout the home. The traditional covered front porch leads into a thoughtfully designed entry with built-ins, storage, and a coffee bar. Walk through to the sunroom and the covered porch with an expansive back deck, inviting you to slow down and savor every season. The heart of the home unfolds into an open kitchen and dining area. At one end of the original farmhouse, a sunlit living room, bedroom with bay windows, and full bath create the perfect guest or in-law suite. On the opposite side, the great room addition stuns with vaulted ceilings, beautiful chalet windows & a substantial stone hearth with propane fireplace. Above, a lofted living space with a Juliet balcony on one end and views through chalet windows on the other offers the ideal retreat or gathering space. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in closet, tiled bath with skylight, and french doors leading to a private covered porch, the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings listening to the birds and taking in the view. Updated with energy-efficient improvements, including insulation, solar shades, EV charger, and combo boiler furnace, adding modern comfort. The historic barn, already equipped with electricity, water and a carport with RV hookup, is ready for your homesteading dreams. Outside, the property feels like a living landscape painting. A seasonal stream borders one side of the property. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle and a rare opportunity to own a truly special place.

Privacy and proximity, only a 15 minute drive from Montpelier this is a rural paradise. A classic Vermont farmhouse and barn which has been used for sheep and horses. The home has been renovated and expanded into a country contemporary when viewed from behind the home facing expansive meadows and the woods. Sited on almost 10 acres of fenced pastures, orchards, large fenced garden, pond and woods with an extraordinary 20 mile view of the Worcester range and Mt. Hunger, the house was renovated to access that view. There is an in-law and guest end of the house with a separate front entrance. This is a good horse property, previously set up as a riding school, with riding ring, paddock, 24 x 24 run-in barn in the pasture with water and electric, and an awesome 120 year old two story barn/stable, now renovated, with stalls. Please see attachments for more descriptions of the property. .. A Must See! 14 additional acres available for $110,000.
