About this home
Less than 2.5 miles from the center of historic Newfane Village you'll find this quaint, well cared for, and manageable tiny house cottage surrounded by abounding perennial gardens and Vermont's natural beauty everywhere you look. It sits nestled amongst the hills less than 1 mile down a town maintained, quiet, country dirt road. The large back deck provides a great space to sit back and take in nature's sights and sounds as well as dine or entertain. Find yourself some more peace in the stone meditation paths. The property is close to numerous swimming holes, farmers markets, and lots of good local food & drink. Less than 15 miles to Brattleboro for most major services. The location is fantastic for both summer and winter activities. Between hiking the many trails, biking the quiet country dirt roads, swimming, paddling, picnicking, or skiing Mt. Snow, Stratton, Bromley, or Magic Mountain, everything is close by. Inside is cozy, clean, and nicely appointed with all new furnishings. The super efficient new wood stove heats the whole home and then some. New king memory foam/spring hybrid mattress in the bedroom. High speed internet available. Electric panel and septic both recently updated. Recent tree work around the home for safety. Ideally suited to a retirement home, starter home, work from home situation, rental, vacation home, or adventure base camp. All in all a great opportunity! Sold turnkey.

The current owners have loved and cared for this property for nearly 20 years, making improvements and upgrades along the way to add to the comfort and ease of operation. In addition to the new septic system, recent improvements include a new electrical panel and a soon-to-be completed car pull-off. Enjoy Newfane and its widely photographed village, local market, several restaurants and more! Brattleboro is within 15 minutes and Southern Vermont summer and winter recreational activities are just a short drive away. Let this be your Vermont oasis - the retreat you want and the hassle you don't. There's high speed internet available. Sold mostly furnished with some art and plantings to be excluded. Don't wait!
