Raised bed gardens, three bay garage, barn with greenhouse, apple orchard, perfectly poised stone wall, all sited to capture the beauty that is rural Vermont all around you. Views of the Adirondacks & the Green Mountains abound as you tour the property. The original home was built in 1783, with a Colonial style addition in 1830, but a complete renovation was done by the current owner. This skillful restoration essentially created a new home, without losing the poetry of time in its transformation over the years. A deep sense of history is evident in hand hewn beams, wood floors, multiple fireplaces/wood stoves and the brick hearth that was at the center of the original farmhouse, complete with a beehive oven/water heating option. The custom kitchen with pantry and informal sitting/dining surround that hearth with a formal living and dining room in the front of the home. The rustic family room is lined with windows and has a cozy wood stove. 1 1/2 baths on the first level as well. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms/ 3 baths with a large master suite you’ll want to slow down your mornings for. The opportunities out of doors are just as inspiring – whether lounging on the expanded wrap-around porch, working the land, bike rides, nearby skiing, or into revitalized Brandon just a few minute’s drive away. Neshobe Golf Club around the corner too! This property helps you live the Vermont dream!
