A network of exceptional natural stone pathways and the sound of a small stream purring through the gardens are some of the simple pleasures here. The stone paths lead to additional buildings, including a guest cottage/studio, separate English style Greenhouse building, hand crafted barns, a grape and fruit tree orchard and other "garden rooms." The gardens comprise about five acres, within a larger track of mature beech and maple hardwoods and a sprinkling of native hemlock. North Hill is located in a narrow valley in southern Vermont, on a south facing slope that warms in the early spring, bathing the landscape in sunshine. This is a very special property which will suit the desires of a multitude of peace seekers including horticulturists, subsistence farmers, animal enthusiasts, and those simply seeking a peaceful respite. The home is simple and charming, the seasonal guest house a wonderful studio space, the English cottage and greenhouse - a dream, fruit orchards abundant, mature producing grape vines, open pasture with fencing, and additional crafted barns for small animals. This property was a dream for the original owners and cherished in its' development. A special place to visit and see all the wonders it holds awaiting a new owner to foster.
