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.
