About this home
Hickory Ridge House is a Federal masterpiece: a definitive piece of Vermont history. Elegant and expansive, the home’s soul is rooted in the 19th century, while its heart beats with 21st-century innovation. The interiors are a masterclass in "refined rustic" design, with original features such as antique wood floors, 12-over-12 windows, crown moldings, and wood-burning fireplaces throughout the home. Five spacious bedrooms are anchored by a chef’s kitchen where rough-hewn textures meet polished, modern finishes. This meticulously restored residence features a newer roof, solar panels, and a Tesla Powerwall, offering a level of energy independence rarely found in historic homes. Outside, the lush grounds are a perennial paradise of fruit trees and colorful flowers. For those seeking the ultimate family compound, or the opportunity to create an upscale, sophisticated country inn, this 1808 Federal-style estate also hosts a charming two-bedroom cottage and has operated as a successful B & B for decades. It is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which adds to the cachet without significantly impacting your ability to make improvements. Located just moments from one of the most vibrant villages in Vermont, with world-class performances at Yellow Barn and the legendary pies of Green Mountain Orchards, this isn't just a home; it’s a front-row seat to the best of Putney. More photos of the Cottage and a full prospectus are available upon request.
