Set in the middle of 30 acres of forest & meadow, this dog friendly house is surrounded by wildlife, stone walls, and hiking trails. It's a peaceful paradise accessed by a beautiful country road which happens to be one of the top 10 foliage routes in the VT. The house is fully equipped, comfortably lived-in, and ready for you. It has everything you need except a quick trip to the grocery store. During the winter, this is perfect for snowmobilers as the VAST trail is easily accessible. The space This property comfortably accommodates 6 people in three bedrooms and 2 floors. There is a full bath on both floors. This historic house, which is a testament to early farming in Vermont, was fully restored in 2004, including the attached barns. The surrounding open fields bordered by stone walls and forest are the perfect setting to "unplug" from urban life and reconnect to simplicity and nature. You can sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch and listen to the birds or view the incredible night skies where you'll see more stars than you knew existed. Guest access You will have complete access to the whole house & barns and surrounding acreage. There are clearly marked forest trails circumnavigating the property. There is also a trail access to the east that will lead you to a large pond and beaver dam. The VAST trail, a winter snowmobile trail, crosses our property and is perfect for X-C skiing and snowshoeing in winter or exploring, hiking & leisure walks in spring, summer or fall.
