PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Enjoy the privacy of Widow Moses Horse Farm, a secluded 28-acre farm just two miles from downtown Montpelier and Exit 8 (I-89). The Montpelier Amtrak Station is only one mile away, Central Vermont Medical Center is four miles away (Exit 7) and the house is a 40-minute drive to Burlington International Airport. Berlin is part of the Washington Central Unified School District (Berlin Elementary / U-32 Middle - High School). Scenic views include the foothills of the Worcester Range as well as Mt. Mansfield. The property includes a three-stall barn, a large, three-bay, concrete slab, fully electric run-in shelter, an equipment shed, and a trout-stocked, 14-ft. deep, one-acre pond. The farmhouse itself has been renovated by both the previous and current owners, and though this listing references number of bedrooms, for example, the spaces within the home are versatile, including work-from-home private areas -- lots of windows for natural light and seasonal enjoyment of the outdoors. The solar panels, wood stove, propane, and oil allow for choice, monetary savings, environment-conscious living, and convenience. Farmhouse upgraded appliances include: stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, clothes washer and water heater. The Jotel wood stove was rebuilt 18 months ago, along with its associated chimney. The house and main barn have newly installed seamless gutters with drainage; roof snow guards were added to the metal roof at the same time. Mature pastures have secure Ramm Fencing with 600 feet of French drains to ensure hoof health and optimal grass growth. Underground outdoor outlets provide an ample power source for outdoor water tubs in winter. Exceptional large-animal veterinary and farrier care are available in our area! The surrounding area has walking trails, including the Class-4 section of Widow Moses Road, which crests at the top of the ridge. The farm is a perfect spot for an equestrian lover or homesteader looking for a safe and secure place for animals. It is ideal for those who love the privacy of the natural world (birds, deer, moose, turkeys, flowers aplenty...) AND the convenience of being easily able to go to the farmers' market Saturday mornings, attend one of our local theater productions, visit a fabulous in-town eatery, or get on the highway for work days and longer adventures to the north or south.
