This quintessential VT farmhouse with multiple barns was once a thriving horse farm. The 60'x60' indoor riding arena has an insulated viewing room and mercury vapor lighting. The barn has 14 stalls, an insulated tack room, a large hay loft, and a hydrant for convenient water.
The surrounding woods offer the opportunity to re-establish old logging roads into trails that connect with the VAST trail that runs through the north edge of the property. Or snowmobile out of the barn to Canada! Or enjoy snowshoeing and xc skiing right out your door.
The original 3-bedroom American Gothic Victorian farmhouse dates to 1850. Updates include a post & beam porch, standing seam roof, insulated windows, extensive foundation drainage improvements, & a beautifully renovated kitchen with concrete countertops & custom cabinetry.
The first floor of the attached wing was used as a cafe and, before that, a tack shop. It has a commercial kitchen & ADA-compliant half-bath. The second floor of the wing is a 30’x19’, vaulted ceiling, flex space: office, gym, media room (with 100" screen), photo/video studio (pro lighting & backdrops negotiable), and kids' sleepover play space.
Energy updates for this historic home include professional insulation/weather-sealing and an EPA 2022-compliant, auto-feed pellet heating system with an outdoor 3-ton bin for hands-free bulk delivery.
The property's 700 ft.², 1-bedroom rental cottage has been updated with insulation, insulated windows, and new heaters. It has been continuously rented for over 20 years, which helps pay your mortgage!
The Old Farm is ready to return to its original purpose, but if you're not horse people, the blazing fast cable connection would still make it telecommuter Nirvana.
