Property description

The farm is peacefully situated near the end of a quiet road, less than 3 miles from the historic village of Saxtons River and Vermont Academy. The brick Cape-style home, dating from 1790 with an 1850 addition, is a picturesque blend of history and natural beauty. The house is circled by ancient sugar maples and stonewalls and overlooks 143 +/- acres (estimate) of verdant fields and forests.

Over the last 60 years, thoughtful renovations have augmented the sense of place, ensuring its timeless allure. The primary residence, encompassing 3,531 square feet, features five bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. It boasts a screened-in porch, 4 cozy fireplaces and pine flooring. Above the five-bay garage, a spacious four-bedroom apartment with en-suite bathrooms awaits. 

A walk along a meandering path leads to a spring-fed swimming pond and pond house, providing a perfect oasis for relaxation and picnics. 

The property includes a tennis court, providing a gathering place for friendly matches and plenty of space for long walks, or bike rides. The barn is well-suited for horses and other livestock, and the extensive gardens yield bountiful crops of fruits, flowers, and vegetables. 

The farm is part of a town with fewer than 500 residents. Despite its size, there is a strong sense of communal spirit. Independence Day is marked with festivities including a parade, a 5K run, and evening fireworks. The Saxtons River itself invites anglers and swimmers alike, while Main Street Arts offers a canvas for creative expression. For winter sports enthusiasts, Grafton Trails and Outdoor Center is a short 15-minute trip away, offering excellent cross-country skiing, and the ski resorts of Stratton and Mount Snow are just 50 minutes' drive. Conveniently located a comfortable three hours from Boston and four hours from New York, the farm offers a country life that’s not too far off the beaten path. 

Showings begin May 10th.
