“Timeless Charm on 41 Acres: Restored 1790 Vermont Farmhouse with Mountain Views & Historic Character”
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in this thoughtfully restored 1790 Vermont farmhouse, nestled on 41 south-facing acres of rolling countryside with panoramic views, two serene ponds, and rich historic charm.
Originally constructed over two centuries ago, the home has undergone a meticulous restoration—preserving its historic integrity while integrating modern systems and energy-efficient features.
From the Energy Star® Tamko metal roof (designed to mimic traditional slate) to the new 2022 septic system, whole-house propane generator, partially spray-foamed basement, and concrete foundation, this property combines old-world craftsmanship with 21st-century reliability.
Inside, the home pays homage to its roots with handmade doors that replicate the originals, antique-style hardware, and wide plank wood floors fastened with rose head nails.
The spacious kitchen is both functional and inviting, boasting soapstone countertops, custom cherry cabinetry, a cozy woodstove, and a sunlit breakfast nook perfect for quiet mornings.
The living room features a striking fieldstone fireplace with a rare beehive oven, allowing for traditional wood-fired baking or open-hearth cooking—a true nod to colonial heritage. The primary bedroom includes a Rumford-style fireplace, known for its historically efficient design and elegant, shallow profile.
The open-concept main living and dining area is warm and welcoming, anchored by a classic “Good Morning” staircase in the entryway. A spacious mudroom with laundry, full bath, and access to the attached two-story barn create a seamless flow between everyday function and rustic charm.
Outside, the landscape is quintessential Vermont: gently sloping fields, stone walls, vibrant perennial gardens, blueberry bushes, and 150 tapped sugar maples for anyone dreaming of small-scale maple sugaring.
Scattered local mill stones offer quiet sitting spots to take in the sunrises, wildlife, and peaceful beauty of the surrounding hills.
Whether you’re seeking a private homestead, a four-season retreat, or a hobby farm with deep roots, this special property provides a rare chance to own a piece of Vermont’s living history—and to steward it for generations to come.
Located in a quiet yet accessible part of Vermont, offering serenity, self-sufficiency, and timeless rural beauty.
