Property Description

This 1830s Vermont farmhouse pairs understated luxury with an easy, welcoming feel—an elegant country retreat that works beautifully for both real life and long weekends from the city. Set on Maple Street with Vermont Land Trust-protected Sunset views of the Adirondack Mountains, it’s been on the Addison County maps as “Bacon Farm,” for almost 200 years. The home’s vernacular Italianate architecture has been lovingly restored and blends original character with a polished, modern layout. The west-facing open plan living room is designed for year-round comfort and style, anchored by a substantial brick hearth with a soapstone woodstove, afternoon light and sunset hues, and opening directly to a broad deck overlooking the pool and fields. This space flows seamlessly into a vaulted, island-centered open-plan kitchen and dining room with double ovens and timeless finishes. All 5 bedrooms have been elegantly refinished, including an ADA accessible suite on the ground floor. Outdoors, the grounds feel like a private, low-key estate: gently sloping established perennial gardens and landscaping in the English-style, mature shade trees, and an in-ground swimming pool positioned to capture long views and evening light on this 6.5 acre property. The 3-story, approx. 3,000 sqft post-and-beam barn is a standout feature: originally a 19th-century sheep barn and carriage house, it has undergone structural stabilization and could be developed as a guest house, studio, gym or event space - offering a level of possibility rarely found in a turnkey country property. Location is a major part of the appeal. While feeling like a truly pastoral rural life, it is only 3 miles from the charming small city of Vergennes, with its historic downtown and award-winning restaurants. Middlebury with its internationally renowned liberal arts college is 12 miles away. Burlington, the largest city in Vermont is 45 minutes way. There is also a direct train to Penn Station in NY. Hi speed-wifi onsite.
