About this home
Magical home right outside the town proper of Newfane, VT. Less than half mile from route 30, within walking distance to library, very close to downtown, but with a little over 11 acres. Plenty of privacy in back yard. Brook runs through property, providing your very own beach out your back door. Not in a flood zone, no flood insurance needed. Walking trails connect to property. Land across brook has been opened with established orchards, all varieties of berries and other edible perennials. Concrete floor shed and animal outbuildings make for a homesteader's dream. Giant soapstone woodstove brings warmth and crackling coziness all winter long, wood heat in combination with state of the art Buderus heating system and 2 propane woodstoves. Whimsical home with outdoor pizza oven and established perennial flower beds. This historical house has been featured in two 1940s magazines, as the original building was the town's blacksmith shop in the 1800s. These magazines will be left for the new owner.
AMAZING is the only word to describe this highly unusual and historic property. Starting life as a forge in 1800, nestled in the crook of the Smith Brook, surrounded by the babble of the brook, old stone walls and lovely flower beds, walking distance to charming Newfane Village. Modern living preserving the charm we all love. tons of windows bring nature inside. The wonderful screened porch begs for a lazy afternoon. A must see for all creative and imaginative folks.
