This is not your typical Vermont farmhouse—it’s far better. Surrounded by rolling fields and pastoral views, this beautifully updated home combines classic country charm with modern ease. Inside, you’ll find a warm, sunlit layout anchored by a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring high-end Viking appliances, granite counters, and custom cabinetry. The spacious primary suite is a luxurious retreat, offering peace, comfort, and incredible storage. A flexible floor plan adds to the home's appeal, with a first-floor bonus room—currently a playroom—offering potential as a guest suite or private bedroom, complete with its own covered deck overlooking the fields. Outside, the property is built for both lifestyle and purpose. A 4-stall horse barn with run-in, large cattle barn, oversized workshop, and detached 2-car garage make it ready for your dreams—be it hobby farming, equestrian living, or simply room to roam. A charming one-room cabin tucked in the treeline is perfect for guests, creative space, or glamping. All located in the heart of Vermont ski country—just minutes from Okemo, with easy access to Stratton, Bromley, and Magic. Whether you're looking for a forever home, a modern homestead, or a lifestyle upgrade, this one-of-a-kind property offers beauty, function, and endless inspiration.
