Historic Vermont Property with Rare Architectural Style – Steps from the Canadian Border. This extraordinary 1875 estate in the heart of Derby Line captures a classic piece of Vermont history with its rare “Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn” architecture—a style unique to New England that connected living quarters, utility spaces, and barns in a continuous structure. Set on 3 acres with municipal water and sewer, this property offers incredible flexibility: 2 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 baths, and many "bonus" rooms spread across a layout that can serve as a single residence, two apartments, or even a townhome setup. A longstanding commercial license (since 1973) allows for a 3-room store, and it’s a great candidate for a B&B or short-term rental. Ski resorts are just 30 minutes away. Highlights include: Historic barn converted into a grand living space with loft, hidden bookcases, and dual fireplace setup. Original wide-plank floors, marble mantel, vintage enamel sinks and tubs. Screened-in porch, private study with Jøtul propane stove, and mature landscaping with a fishpond. Oversized shed with sliding barn doors, carport with firewood storage, and subdivision potential on wooded acreage .A secret stairway connects different wings of the home, creating a whimsical layout full of character and potential. This property must be seen to be appreciated—a true Vermont diamond in the rough. Less than half a mile to the Canadian border.
