About this home
Very few properties offer beautiful views, privacy, acreage and modern conveniences in a way that feels effortless like this property does. At 353 Schoolhouse Road, the first thing you'll notice is the quiet. Set on more than 15 private acres, the property invites you to slow down and enjoy Vermont at its best. Open fields, mature woods, private walking trails, a pond, and a gentle stream create a landscape that changes beautifully with every season. As the day winds down, the western sky becomes the main attraction. From the home you'll enjoy sweeping views toward the Adirondack Mountains and sunsets that paint the horizon in brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple. The main residence offers approximately 3,300 square feet of comfortable living space with hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a welcoming wood stove that makes winter evenings especially inviting. While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, high-speed fiber internet keeps you connected for remote work, streaming, and everyday life. One of the property's defining features is the handsome timber-frame barn. Built with exposed beams and classic craftsmanship, it houses a beautifully finished 900-square-foot accessory dwelling unit complete with one bedroom, a dedicated office, hardwood floors, and its own two-car garage. Whether used for extended family, guests, a home office, or rental income, it provides flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. The property has also been thoughtfully prepared for the future. A solar electric system, high-efficiency heat pump, upgraded insulation, new hot water heater, water softening system, and Level 2 EV chargers at both buildings combine to provide outstanding comfort and energy efficiency. Outside, the land offers endless opportunities. Harvest apples, peaches, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries from your own property! Conveniently located near Middlebury, Brandon, outdoor recreation, skiing, lakes, restaurants, and shopping.
This beautiful property offers the discriminating buyer an updated and improved custom farmhouse that is situated on 15+ tranquil & picturesque acres. Those acres offer both wooded land & open meadows you will want to explore as you walk amid the meandering rock walls built by hands from generations past. The landscaping also boasts colorful gardens, walking trails and the perfect location an abundance of vegetable and flower gardens Spring and Summers offer an array of color and fragrance. The home provides a kitchen that is open to the family room for the everyday living while the formal living and dining rooms help with impressing guests during the holiday and special occasion events. If you are now working from home and are in need of a quiet place to work or to home school, the 2nd floor bonus room with gleaming hand hewn, oiled pine flooring is the perfect oasis away from the main hubbub of the home. For hobbies, the new 2 story timber frame barn is perfect with a possible workshop on the first floor and a studio, yoga or party room on the second floor. Everyone will relax as they enjoy the sunsets and westerly views that drink in the country meadows and mountains in the far distance. All this privacy and tranquility while only being approx. 30 minutes to Middlebury, Castleton or Rutland. This home offers the ideal Vermont setting.
