Property Description

This listing courtesy of Kim Meeker, Southern Vermont Realty Group

This 2-bed/2-bath, south-facing Vermont farmhouse sits on 41 acres with great views. Originally built in 1790, it’s had a thorough, sensitive restoration to preserve historical integrity while offering modern comfort. The house has an Energy Star® Tamko metal roof resembling the original slate, a new septic system (2022), whole house propane generator, partially spray foamed basement, and concrete foundation. Inside, historical craftsmanship shines: handmade doors replicate the originals and the wood floors are secured with antique rose head nails. The kitchen features soapstone countertops, cherry cabinets, up-to-date appliances, breakfast nook, and woodstove. The fieldstone fireplace in the living room has a beehive oven for traditional wood-fired baking and the wide hearth is equipped for open-fire cooking. In the primary bedroom is a Rumford-style fireplace—a late 18th-century design, prized for its efficient heat. The functional open concept main living/dining area flows naturally, anchored by a classic New England “good morning” staircase in the entryway. A large mudroom with laundry and a full bath connects the home and the attached, spacious, 2-story barn. Outside, the property unfolds into lovely rolling hills, two ponds, extensive perennial and flower gardens framed by picturesque stone walls, blueberry bushes, and 150 maple sugaring taps. Local mill stone around the property offers a sense of history, character, and quiet places to sit and enjoy the views.
