Enjoy a restful getaway at The 1860 Farmhouse. We purchased the farmhouse in 2018 from a family that had done extensive renovations to the interior. Keeping true to its historic roots, the farmhouse offers modern amenities in a historic setting. A convenient location close to Jay Peak and Smuggler's Notch, and many Vermont and Quebec attractions within an easy drive. Swiss and Bloom wedding venue and Phoenix Manor are close by. The house is 6 bedrooms and sleeps 12 people. This enchanting 1860 Farmhouse offers a glimpse into Vermont's rich agricultural history--it was the site of a commercial dairy farm from 1860 through the 1980s. Unfortunately, some of the original structures burned down in 2003, but the carriage barn and a part of the dairy barn remain. Lovingly restored with modern appliances and amenities, the farmhouse retains its historic charm. Two airy porches will allow you to drink in the serenity of beautiful Berkshire, Vermont while you settle into the slower pace of country life. We offer many amenities from a fully-equipped kitchen to a washer and dryer . The farmhouse is situated on 180 acres of wooded and meadow land. The woods are primarily maple, providing a colorful backdrop to your getaway during leaf-peeping season. In the colder months, the property transforms into a winter wonderland, with ample space for sledding, snowball fights, and a groomed multi-use route, the VAST trail, intersecting the property. During summer months, you'll enjoy the peaceful location with a bounty of recreation options right out your door--from road cycling to hiking, swimming, and fishing. Beyond the property line, you'll enjoy Enosburg Falls just a five minute drive away-a small town with a lot of character. Dairy farming and maple sugaring are staple industries here, and you'll want to stop by a market or restaurant to try some of the local fare while visiting. Quebec's wine country is just a fifteen minute drive away--it is known for its cooler climate reds and refreshing white wines, as well as ciders. Within a 30 minutes' drive, Jay Peak Ski Resort and Smuggler's Notch Ski Resort offer winter and summer recreation. The up-and-coming town of St. Albans is also located just about 30 minutes' drive away, and offers more dining and shopping options. Burlington and Montreal are within an easy hours' drive of this quaint farmhouse, and both cities offer great music, food, and art culture. Hiking and biking abound, with winding country roads perfect for road cyclists, and dirt trails around the property and nearby for exploring. The Long Trail, which runs the full 261 mile length of Vermont, is located just a 30 minute drive away. Lake Carmi State Park is just a 10 minute drive away, where anglers, swimmers, and paddlers will find a quiet haven to practice their sport. What makes The 1860 Farmhouse unique? It's all about the quiet location, the inviting farmhouse, and the quintessential Vermont scenery. We look forward to hosting you, so that you can experience it for yourself.
