Description

702 Middlebrook is one of the singular property in the greater Upper Valley. The property benefits from two separate residences. Nicely situated in the intact agricultural swath that sweeps down to Lake Fairlee (the public boat launch is under a mile to the south). Enjoying desirable proximity to the burgeoning town of Fairlee. Because a significant portion of the 112 acres has been cleared, both houses are light-filled. A year-round brook that flows down to Lake Fairlee traverses the property. Tucked...702 Middlebrook is one of the singular property in the greater Upper Valley. The property benefits from two separate residences. Nicely situated in the intact agricultural swath that sweeps down to Lake Fairlee (the public boat launch is under a mile to the south). Enjoying desirable proximity to the burgeoning town of Fairlee. Because a significant portion of the 112 acres has been cleared, both houses are light-filled. A year-round brook that flows down to Lake Fairlee traverses the property. Tucked in the woods lies an electrified writers' cabin that once served as a retreat for the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The 1850 farmhouse boasts a wonderful array of rooms augmented by a generously proportioned porch, a fireplace with cast iron insert, a masonry pizza oven, outbuildings, and a number of historic features. The enclosed interior three-season ‘porch’ provides a fine 1/3-mile view to the property’s northern edge. The second building, set back further from the sleepy country road, was the site of the late, lamented Middlebrook Restaurant. That post and beam building with its intact commercial kitchen and handsome cupola has undergone a gentle transformation into residential space. The rear deck affords a fine view of the gardens, the fields, and the pergola. The entire proposition brims with possibilities: a family compound, a rental scenario, barter arrangement with nearby farmers, a farm to table restaurant? Please come see for yourself.
