This quintessential Vermont hilltop farm has it all. Completely renovated 1780s cape, barns, sheds, a large sugar house, greenhouse and a timber frame barn converted to a wonderful heated studio space. All situated on 170.9 acres of gorgeous rural Vermont forestland and fields with approximately 35 acres of open meadow/pasture. The house was stripped to the gorgeous old timber frame and then reconstructed with super insulated panels, thermo-pane windows, clapboard siding and a standing seam metal roof in 1999. The renovation perfectly combines modern efficiency with the warmth and charm of the original home. Interior features include: a 14 X 30 family rm with heated slate floor, formal dining rm overlooking back field, first floor bedroom, country kitchen with an awesome pantry, office, an arts/crafts rm and recreation rm, slate and original hardwood flooring and natural/original woodwork and built-ins. The rolling land is simply spectacular!! Both lush upper meadows offer views of the distant hills and valleys. The sugar bush is impressive with towering sugar maples and a small clearing with the sugarhouse. There is also a fruit tree orchard, endless gardening opportunities and spring fed pond in the lower barnyard. The land also encompasses "French Hill" one of the highest in the area offering nearly 360 degree views when no leaves are on the trees. This place gives you a true sense of peace and tranquility as you wander and explore. Truly a rare and unique offering.
