Nestled on more than two acres of beautifully maintained countryside and mature forest, this renovated 1892 farmhouse blends New England charm with peaceful seclusion and easy access to local attractions. Just 15 minutes from Mass MoCA, 25 minutes from Mount Snow, and close to hiking and ATV trails, it’s perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Inside, you’ll find a warm and thoughtfully updated home with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The eat-in kitchen combines rustic character and modern convenience, while the living spaces feature two original brick chimney stacks, one with a wood stove that can heat the first floor, and the other venting a cozy fireplace. A detached two-car garage includes a loft for extra storage or workspace, and a new roof installed three years ago adds peace of mind. Outdoors, a year-round stream, a natural cold-plunge pool, and a historic maple sugar shack offer a serene setting for morning walks and wildlife watching. This property is truly a rare find, offering both adventure and tranquility in an idyllic Vermont setting. Motivated seller willing to work with buyers and consider concessions as part of a strong, well-structured offer.
