About this home
Tucked along a quiet country road, 197 Baker Road stands as a living piece of Vermont’s history. A sturdy 1835 home that has weathered time with grace and care, set on over 80 acres of fields, woods, and pastures, this property opens like a storybook of rural life: a large pond mirrors the changing sky, trails wind toward the hilltop with sweeping views, and smaller ponds shimmer between trees where deer and other wildlife pass. Inside, light pours into the spacious living room and sunlit kitchen, where a center island invites conversation and comfort. The home’s craftsmanship endures, strengthened by thoughtful updates, including 200-amp electrical service, a renovated mudroom, and spaces ready to evolve with your vision. Off the basement, a hidden tunnel and fallout shelter whisper of the home’s storied past, adding intrigue to its enduring charm. There is room here for homesteading, gardening, hiking, or snowmobiling across your own land. An outbuilding waits to store tools or fuel creative pursuits, and a flex space offers potential for a workshop or studio. Despite its privacy, you are only minutes from town conveniences, the Upper Valley, and world-class ski areas. This is a home where Vermont’s beauty and history meet in everyday life.

LR-10
Land Reserve 10-Acre District
The land reserve 10-acre district is designed to maintain open space in the outlying areas at a smaller minimum acreage while encouraging the same uses that would be applicable to the land reserve 25-acre district. These areas are more accessible than land reserve 25-acre, but the topography may be mixed and irregular similar to the residential/agricultural 5-acre district. Generally new development would require on-site water and sewer. See also the requirements of the zoning district, if any, set forth in the town plan and current and future land use maps.
