Welcome to 278 Spring Road; a one-of-a-kind Vermont retreat tucked away on 18.5± private acres in the heart of the Upper Valley. Peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty, this handcrafted traditional post and beam home was thoughtfully built by a local artisan using reclaimed timber from an antique barn in Tunbridge, blending timeless character with authentic Vermont craftsmanship. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,110 square feet of warm and inviting living space, featuring exposed beams, natural wood details, and a cozy atmosphere throughout. A covered main entrance welcomes you home, while beautifully maintained landscaping and apple trees lining the driveway create a picturesque approach in every season. The property offers some of the best valley views from the top of the land, providing a stunning backdrop for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of country living. Despite its secluded feel, the home is conveniently located just minutes from the village and offers a short commute to Vermont Law and Graduate School, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, the VA, and other Upper Valley destinations. Equestrian enthusiasts, hobby farmers, or those seeking additional flexible space will appreciate the impressive 24’ x 32’ two-story horse barn featuring three stalls and a finished office or guest space complete with a heat pump. Recent upgrades include a new sauna and a new high-efficiency boiler. A root cellar adds even more practicality and charm to this thoughtfully maintained property. Back up heat source? You got it! With a wood-fired hot air furnace. 278 Spring Road is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive Vermont homestead where craftsmanship, comfort, privacy, and convenience come together in an exceptional Upper Valley setting.
