About this home
Idyllic country retreat located in beautiful Southern Vermont. Lovingly restored 1762 home, sitting on 175 pastoral acres, is one of the oldest homes in the area, as documented by the current owners in 2 volumes of Halifax History: “Born in Controversy, ” (2008), and “Hills and Hollows, ” (2015). This home features a charming country kitchen with modern appliances, formal dining room, parlor & living room. Wide-plank pine floors and 2 fireplaces add to the rustic appeal. Attached to the house is a light-filled artist’s studio with a custom-built Finnish woodstove and radiant floor heat, and a utility/laundry room. Above the barn & workshop is a fully-finished office or bedroom space with plenty of storage and gorgeous cherry hardwood flooring. For the outdoor enthusiast there is a large, secluded stream-fed pond, perfect for swimming or stocking with trout, cross country ski trails, an heirloom apple orchard, 200 year old maple trees, dark skies for stargazing & established ornamental gardens. The homesteader or horse-owner will find this property, completely organic for over 50 years, perfect for pasturing animals or growing vegetables, pressing cider or sugaring their own maple syrup. This is the ideal artist/writer retreat or family vacation home, quiet & secluded but just a short drive from world renown music and cultural festivals, ski areas, shopping, restaurants & galleries in Greenfield, MA & Brattleboro & Wilmington VT. The first time on the market in over 50 years.

RR
Rural Residential District
The purpose of the Rural Residential District is to provide for residential development and compatible light industrial & light commercial uses at moderate densities which are easily accessible to Class 2 and 3 public roads. It is anticipated that the bulk of new residential and light commercial growth will take place within this district. Special care should be taken to protect the rural-residential character of this district, to locate proposed development off of productive agricultural lands, and to minimize forest fragmentation. Non-residential development proposed in the RR District shall be carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis utilizing the standards established under Conditional Use Approval, and elsewhere throughout this Zoning Regulation including, but not limited to General Performance Standards, Landscaping Requirements, and Article 5 Special Regulations, as applicable.
