The farm is peacefully situated near the end of a quiet road, less than 3 miles from the historic village of Saxtons River and Vermont Academy. The brick Cape-style home, dating from 1790 with an 1850 addition, is a picturesque blend of history and natural beauty. The house is circled by ancient sugar maples and stonewalls and overlooks 151 +/- acres (estimate) of verdant fields and forests. Over the last 60 years, thoughtful renovations have augmented the sense of place, ensuring its timeless allure. The primary residence, encompassing 3,531 square feet, features five bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. It boasts a screened-in porch, 4 cozy fireplaces and pine flooring. Above the five-bay garage, a spacious four-bedroom apartment with en-suite bathrooms awaits. A walk along a meandering path leads to a spring-fed swimming pond and pond house, providing a perfect oasis for relaxation and picnics. The property includes a tennis court, providing a gathering place for friendly matches and plenty of space for long walks, or bike rides. The barn is well-suited for housing horses and other livestock, and the extensive gardens yield bountiful crops of fruits, flowers, and vegetables. There is a strong sense of communal spirit in Saxtson's River. Independence Day is marked with festivities including a parade, a 5K run, and evening fireworks. The town invites anglers and winter sports enthusiasts. Located three hours from Boston, four from NY. Showings begin May 10.
