Are you searching for a quiet sanctuary, surrounded by birdsong and not a neighbor in sight? Or hunting for a spot to build your small-scale homestead to raise food and animals? Or you love to garden and you’re looking for established perennials, raised beds for veggies, fruit trees, and blueberry bushes with your own greenhouse? Or you don't want to be more than 15 minutes from Montpelier? This contemporary house fits right in with Vermont’s working landscape and independent spirit. With an updated kitchen (all new appliances, chef’s sink, and new counters), radiant-heated tile floors, and a new energy-efficient woodstove, you have all the modern conveniences in a mainly open downstairs, including an optional first-floor primary bedroom with en suite bath for one-story living. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms or office space, with a new deck with long views of the land, perfect for morning yoga or sipping coffee. With two full baths on the first floor, the quirky oversized 1/2-bath upstairs has been transformed into an art studio and guest room (yes, it’s that big!). The land is divided into five acres of woodland and five acres of flat and gently-sloped yard and meadow. Medicinal herbs, fruit-bearing species, and flower garden favorites are already established, with tons of space to do more. A custom goat barn and fencing was built in 2020 and awaits new inhabitants. A second outbuilding could be a chicken coop or shed space. A custom greenhouse was added in 2021. This beautiful, attached structure connects inside and outside, serving as a three-season sunroom that extends the living space. It’s also a working greenhouse that can be used for starting seeds and extending the growing season (with the option of heating for four-season use). This 3-bed, 2.5-bath, 2-story home and surrounding land have been lovingly tended and are ready to welcome their new caretakers.
