Cowslip Hill Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of Vermont history. The current owners are only the third family to own the property since Vermont joined the Union with documented history and elements going back to 1791. Just some of these include chambers and tunnels that were purportedly used as part of the Underground Railroad; a rare original ‘half-barrel’ parlor ceiling built by the property’s first steward who had been a ship’s captain; and the original blacksmith’s shop. Each of the three steward families of the property have lovingly maintained and preserved the rich history of the property for the next and it is time for fourth steward to continue the legacy. The near hundred-acre parcel has several highpoints with long range view potential. Well established roads and trails crisscross the property from end to end offering endless recreation, agricultural, or additional homesite opportunities. A spring-fed pond is surrounded by former pastures, dotted with old apple trees and large maple trees, all edged with endless original stone walls that tell a story of days gone by when Vermont was once almost all pastureland. Two apartment spaces offer income producing opportunity. This unique property is located at the end of a town-maintained road with access to both Route 132 and road frontage on Downer Road in sought after Sharon, Vermont with easy access to Interstate 89 just 3.5 miles away. Showings start 6/10.
